Topic: Klovia


In the News (Tue 29 Dec 09)

  
  Don Harlow reviews The Lensmen
In the process of attacking Klovia, Kinnison has to take on his Prime Minister Fossten, who is actually Gharlane of Eddore (who first appeared in Triplanetary and again in First Lensman, but in none of the later books until this one).
Kim Kinnison is Coordinator of the second galaxy, living on Klovia with Clarissa and their five children — Kit, who himself is about to graduate as a Lensman, directly into grays, and the two sets of twins, Kathryn and Karen the elder, Constance and Camilla the younger.
There are many, many criticisms that can be made of this series, particularly from the point of view of the year 2004, more than half a century after the last of the books was written, and John Clute has no hesitation about making them in his introductions to the books.

Klovia is an Earth-like world in Lundmark's Nebula, the Second Galaxy in E.
