| Summary |
"Triplanetary" by E. E. Smith is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. This book is the first installment in the renowned Lensman series, which explores cosmic warfare and the evolution of civilizations. The narrative revolves around the struggle between the Arisians and Eddorians as they navigate the repercussions of their races’ histories and the battle for control of the universe. At the start of "Triplanetary," the reader is introduced to the ancient conflict between the Arisians and Eddorians, two alien races that are deeply intertwined in a cosmic chess game of power and ambition. The Arisians, a humanoid race, are depicted as advanced thinkers who have achieved a profound understanding of mental powers, whereas the Eddorians are portrayed as ruthless and technologically superior beings. As the Eddorians target Earth and its inhabitants, an Arisian named Enphilistor becomes pivotal in navigating this treacherous territory, setting the stage for the epic battles and strategies that will unfold throughout the series. The opening serves as a grand introduction to the epic scale of the conflicts, themes of power, and the intricate setup of a universe teetering on the brink of war.
