	E. E. Smith - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Smith was born in Idaho and held a large number of menial jobs before attending the University of Idaho, where he is installed in the Alumni Hall of Fame.
		Smith himself expressed a preference for inventing fictional technologies that were not strictly impossible (so far as the science of the day was aware) but highly unlikely: "the more unlikely the better" was his phrase.
		Smith's general description of the process of discovery is highly evocative of Röntgen's descriptions of his discovery of the X-ray.

	E. E. Smith - Wikipedia
		Edward Elmer "Doc" Smith, Ph.D. (1890-1965) was a science fiction author who wrote the Lensman series and the Skylark series, among others.
		While his novels were often considered "Space Opera," and offered almost non-stop action, they were, in most ways, still "true" science fiction, in that they used extrapolation of known science and, often, extrapolation of existing and historic social and political patterns.
		Careful searches by people who knew Doc well (including Fred Pohl, Doc's editor, and Verna Trestrail, Doc's daughter) have failed to locate any material related to such a story; Doc apparently never wrote any of it down.

		In 1928 Edward E. "Doc" Smith arguably created the "Space Opera" genre with his novel The Skylark of Space, influencing Flash Gordon and just about all science fiction since then.
		Smith's 1937 novel Galactic Patrol upped the ante by introducing a new element to space opera: an elite group of warriors with telepathic abilities.
		Lucas may have absorbed even the language of Smith, who uses the word "coruscant" at least a dozen times (it means "shiny and glittery").

		In Smith's world, the good guys are all good (despite the occasional "hard decision" they may have to make) and the bad guys are all bad.
		The stakes are always high, the villains ever greater in number and the heroes driven to new heights of impossible bravery and wondrous accomplishments.

		With just a bit of tolerance and imagination, a sense of wonder is easy to recapture, because Smith had it when he was writing his work.

		This series of ten books, co-authored by Stephen Goldin, details the exploits of Wombat and Perriwinkle, the two top agents of an Imperial Secret Service, who also happen to be circus people carrying on a family tradition of espionage and aerial artistry.
		Since Smith himself really only wrote portions of the first book and left a very brief outline of the remainder of the first book, this series is regarded with disdain by many.
		It has been a while since I read them, but I thought they were, in the main, fun mind-candy space opera, although I really disliked the resolution to the series in the final book or two.

		"Doc" Smith is one of the three supernovas to hit the SF field.
		He hit it in 1928, with the publication of The Skylark of Space, a book which he had written 10 years earlier but which he had been unable to sell.
		I've been writing notes on each book I've read for a while now, and an unreasonable proportion (for somebody dead since 1965) have been Doc Smith.

		Smith's characters move from one level of advancement to another, overcoming adversity and triumphing over evil.
		Each time a new evil is found, Seaton and his companions work until the evil is defeated; DuQuesne being the only recurring evil character.
		The characters can be seen as a commentary on society both when Smith wrote the books and also today.

		Characteristic of the Science Fiction of the 20's, Smith's characters use computers with metallic tape, punch keys and large switches.
		It is interesting to see the way Smith uses the technology of the 20's to create a world of the future.
		The universe that Smith creates for us in The Skylark of Space is one that comes from a more 'innocent' time where good is good and evil is evil.

		A colossus of SF from the 1920s through to the 1970s, E. "Doc" Smith specialised in rocketship adventures.
		Just for good measure, there are also some experiments in gene therapy, and a typical E. Smith weapon of apocalyptic destruction.
		This is a bit less extreme than some of Smith's work and, with the exception of the final volume (which I think got tacked on as an ill-conceived afterthought), sustains both character and plot development well.

	Triplanetary and First Lensman by E. E. Smith (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Lensman saga was originally only four books long, but Smith retrofitted both "Triplanetary" and "First Lensman" to the series in order to tell the background of his sweeping epic.
		In "Triplanetary," a series of vignettes spanning millions of years explains how the titanic struggle between the good Arisians and the evil Eddorians first came to pass, and about how humanity was chosen (and bred) to assume the awesome power of the lens.
		In fact, anyone interested in Smith will get a kick out of chapter 5, which is a semi-autobiographical account of the author's own exploits during World War II.

		E.E. "Doc" Smith wrote many books, many of them similar in feel but all of them utterly riveting to read.
		He also wrote some in cooperation with others, "The Family d'Alembert" series for instance, but I never really liked them and, whether true or not, suspected that his involvement in the works was minimal.
		The works for which "Doc" Smith (he was a real PhD, a chemical engineer apparently) is most famous are the "Skylark" and "Lensmen" series and whilst the former was good it is the latter that this article will concentrate.

		For someone like me, who grew up on old Tom Swift books often purchased at antique stories, Doc Smith is the paragon of lightspeed adventure.
		This was the second book in E.E.Smith's first series, and it's pure thirties pulp, quite good of it's period, but then the period happily tolerated segregation.
		Smith hit his stride with this one, it is Space Opera with all the stops out on the organ.

		There's both a preface and a forward by people who are clearly British, and who I've never heard of before (Smith doesn't mention them, for example).

		So far as I can tell, this book would be of no interest at all to anybody except a serious Doc Smith fan (like me).

		Overshadowing all of them in terms of influence on "Star Wars," however, is E.E. "Doc" Smith, whose mastery of galaxy-spanning space operas made him one of the most popular writers of pre-World War II science fiction.
		Starting in the 1930s, Smith began writing a series of space adventures set against the backdrop of an eons-long war between a race of benevolent aliens called the Arisians and their enemies, the evil Eddorians.
		Her first short story was published by Astounding in 1940, and she quickly became known as an expert pulp technician.
