 Science Fiction Timeline Site . . . Gharlane's LENSMEN Faq . . .
Much of modern SF is directly derived from it, and the entire field owes a huge debt to the Lensmen.
It should be noted that there are textual differences between the serialized versions and the hardbacks; in the magazine versions, the Evil Eddorians aren't even known to exist until the last book.
One of the Roamers, David A. Kyle, was a long-time writer, publisher, collector and fan; using extant outlines, fragments of EES' unpublished work, and years of wrangling, arguments, and discussions as his source, he wrote three books EES had intended but never gotten around to.

 SPG men prevent scribes, lensmen to interview Sonia
HYDERABAD, AUG 11: Scribes and lensmen of both print and electronic media and local Congress leaders had a scuffle with the Special Protection Group (SPG) personnel, in-charge of security cover for Congress president Sonia Gandhi, soon after her arrival here at Lake View guest house on Friday morning.
Repeated pleas by lensmen to at least have photographs of Sonia, who has come here for the first time after the Assembly polls in October last, went in vain as the security personnel pushed and jostled them away.
A wordy duel ensued between the media personnel and SPG men for sometime before the former minister Mohd Ali Shabir came out with a word that a press conference was scheduled to be addressed by Sonia at 3.30 pm at the guest house.

  Don Harlow reviews The Lensmen
Several years after the war, he produced a fourth serial, this one primarily about Kinnison’s super-powerful children, and at the same time created a preface to the series by modifying an independent novella that he had produced for Amazing Stories in 1934 in such a way that it would fit in with the series.
Most of the rest of the story is an introduction to Civilization’s battle against the two branches of crime — piracy and drug-running — which are to be the major problems in the future.
In Second Stage Lensmen it turns out that Boskone hasn’t been completely annihilated after all, and is about to launch a destructive attack on Earth.

  Science Fair Projects - Lensman
In the DC Comics universe, the Green Lantern Corps bears many parallels to the Lensmen, although its principal creators deny any connection.
In particular, it is impossible to lie to a Lensman, and Lensmen communicate perfectly in any language to any ethnic group.
A significant subplot is usurpation of normal political processes by Lensmen.

 The Dragon Lensman (Second Stage Lensman, book 1) by David A Kyle
Edward E. ''Doc'' Smith's visionary Lensmen series of stories began in 1934 in the pages of Amazing Stories, and when it finished in 1948 it was universally recognized as the greatest space opera yet written.
Those chosen for this honor were called Lensmen, and as the leaders of the Galactic Patrol they formed Civilization's spearhead against the Boskone.
Within the élite ranks of the Lensmen was an even more rarified élite - the four Second Stage Lensmen, one from each of the races which the Arisians had chosen as the most capable defenders of their galaxy.

 Tenser, said the Tensor: The Lensmen Series
Over the last month, I've been re-reading Edward E. "Doc" Smith's Lensmen series (consisting of Galactic Patrol (1937), Gray Lensman (1939), Second Stage Lensmen (1941), Children of the Lens (1947), and two lesser prequels), a milestone in science fiction.
The novels rapidly become formulaic: a new, improved weapon is needed to overcome a new, improved shield technology on a new, improved ships with a new, improved drives to overcome the next layer of fascist baddies in each succesive book.
Furthermore, I'm never quite sure that the side the Lensmen are on can be said to be the good guys (which is, perhaps, more relevant today than ever).

 Criminal Justice Policy Foundation: Books: Chronicles of the Lensmen (The Lensmen Series, Volume 1)
Much of this work is quite dated and there is a queasy sort of racism underlaying Smith's insistance that white, blue-eyed, apparently Aryan men represent the pinnacle of human genetic strength.
There is an overt sexism in that (at least in the first three books) there are no female lensmen, by design.
But, along with James Blish (see "Cities in Flight" with particular emphasis on his use of fields for both protection and propulsion), Smith pretty much gave birth to the modern space-based Science Fiction series with these books.

Time and again the Lensmen's Galactic Patrol defeated their forces--and time and again, powerful Boskonian bases sprang up anew.
Before long, the Lensmen were forced to face the truth: that minds mightier than their own, operating from an unknown planet, were waging a final war for supremacy.
It would be up to Lensman Kim Kinnison, using his fantastic mental powers, to infiltrate the enemy's inner circle, learn the location of their Grand Base--and smash it forever!

 Lensmen From Rigel by David A. Kyle
With this one, attention is focused on the Rigellian Second-Stage Lensmen, Trigonsee.
Smith's original Lensmen books tended to focus far more on the human Kimball Kinnison and his family than the alien members of the Galactic Patrol.
It doesn't need reading 'The Dragon Lensmen' to appreciate this book but whether there's more than a tenuous link between the three books will have to wait until I read the third next month.
