Triplanetary (The Lensman Series Book 1)

The Fall of Rome, the Wars that racked the world, mass murder and horror....

Men thought they were historical accidents, "human nature."

But each one was a move in a Universe-wide battle--and the men who suffered and died were the big chessmen.

Finally, one man discovered the truth--and faced his strange destiny in the ultimate struggle for control of the Universe.

"Triplanetary" is the first book of the Lensman Series, a runner-up for the Hugo award for Best All-Time Series.
