The colliding universes, one of which contains Arisia, and the other Eddore, which in fact pass through each other to set the stage for "Triplanetary" (1934) and the other books of E. E. 'Doc' Smith's "Lensman" series.

Anybody read the old Lensman series by e.e. "Doc" Smith? I just downloaded the whole thing to my Kindle via Internet Archive. My first foray into the Internet Archive, actually. My older brother was really into the series when he was a teen, this was tbh long before most of y'all were born...this was also before I got into scifi. But some of those old classics hold up. #books #scifi #Lensman
