Als die beiden Wissenschaftler Richard Seaton und Martin Crane mit ihrem gewaltigen Raumschiff "Skylark III" in die unendliche Leere zwischen den Galaxien vorstoßen, begegnen sie einem seltsamen Planeten, der sonnenlos weitab jeder Galaxis seine Bahn zieht. Und doch ist diese dunkle, unwirtliche Welt bewohnt, von einer uralten, unglaublich hoch entwickelten Rasse: reine Geistwesen, die ihre Körperlichkeit abgestreift haben, keine physischen Bedürfnisse mehr besitzen. Dennoch treibt sie der Hunger immer wieder dazu, Kontakt mit anderen Intelligenzen aufzunehmen - der Hunger nach Information, der Drang, die Kräfte zu messen. Und die Kräfte dieser Sternenwanderer sind ungeheuer. Sie haben alle Geheimnisse des Universums entschleiert und gebieten über die Materie, sind in der Lage, Raum und Zeit mühelos zu überwinden und sich dienstbar zu machen. Und sie benutzen ihren Planeten als Raumschiff, um das Universum zu durchstreifen. Da kommt es zur Konfrontation. Heyne 06/4779

Kim Kinnison, Number One man of his time, had faced challenges before - but rarely one as daunting as this. To him fell the perilous task of infiltrating the inner circle of Boskone, stronghold of galactic civilization's most deadly foe. Kinnison had to become a loyal Boskonian in every gesture, deed and thought. He had to work his way up through the ranks of an alien enemy organization, right into the highest echelons of power. Then it would be he who issued the orders - orders that would destroy his own civilization . . . Second Stage Lensmen is the fifth self-contained novel in E. E. 'Doc' Smith's epic Lensman series, one of the all-time classics of adventurous, galaxy-spanning science fiction.
Against the backdrop of a secret war between two all-powerful alien races, Virgil Samms of the Triplanetary Service is selected by the seemingly omniscient Arisians to be the first bearer of the Lens. Only individuals deemed brave, virtuous, capable, and incorruptible can receive a Lens, which grants its user telepathy and other powers. With it, Samms seeks out other “Lens worthy” humans and aliens, with the goal of creating a Galactic Patrol that will defend planets adhering to Civilization from corruption, vice, and piracy. First Lensman is the second book in E. E. Smith’s Lensman series but was the last to be written. Unlike the rest of the series, it was never serialized, and was first published in 1950 to help link Triplanetary with Galactic Patrol. Smith’s imaginative and bizarre alien races are on full display, as well as the constantly escalating space warfare that is the hallmark of the space opera genre.

Featuring even more technological wizardry, alien worlds, and all-out action than its predecessor, Skylark Three is hailed by many as the imaginative high point of the Skylark series.
