The Roaming Table - Lewiston Culinary Tours

Triplanetary by E. E. Doc Smith

Triplanetary is the first book in E. E. Doc Smith's Lensman series, the father of the space opera genre. Physics, time, and politics never stand in the way of a plot that gallops ahead without letup in this classic space opera. Come enjoy this story of yesteryear, set in tomorrow, where real women ignite love at a glance, real men achieve in days what governments manage in decades, and aliens are an ever-present threat to Life-As-We-Know-It!

First Lensman by E. E. Doc Smith

The Secret Planet. No human had ever landed on the hidden planet of Arisia. A mysterious space barrier turned back both men and ships. Then the word came to Earth, Go to Arisia!, Virgil Samms of the Galactic Patrol went--and came back with the Lens, the strange device that gave its wearer powers no man had ever possessed before. Samms knew the price of that power would be high. But even he had no idea of the ultimate cost, and the weird destiny waiting for the First Lensman.
