Triplanetary - Part 1 (of 8)
Show Notes

This week, we begin a new Tale, a science fiction novel from the critically acclaimed father of space opera, E. E. 'Doc' Smith. 'Triplanetary' was originally published in parts in Amazing Stories in 1934, but following the success of his 'Lensman' series, Smith reworked this novel with a long prologue to form a prequel to the series. 
Staying true to the original novel, we will be following the adventures of Conway Costigan as he and his friends battle with nefarious space pirates who are more than they appear to be.
You can find the prologue here as 'Book 1' and 'Book 2', before our Tale starts at 'Book 3'.
