2002 HTML Implementation of "Lensman" FAQ file.  v.4.03 21 Sep 2002.
Originally by Gharlane of Eddore, but reposted by myself and my wife
in memory of a Good Friend whom we shall always miss.  It seems as
though Kinnison or Star-A-Star finally got the Eddorian at last.  Damn.

(We have kept Gharlane's "Pictures" in the page, but the links point to us now.)


 THE "LENSMAN" WEB PAGE 






    "The LENSMAN books represent that rarest of all qualities in SF:
   the sense of wonder, given form and texture and epic scale.
    "These are the books I cut my teeth on as a fan, and together
   comprise one of the true milestones in science fiction literature.
    "Let me be plainer: BUY THESE BOOKS.
    "You won't regret it."
            - J. Michael Straczynski, writer-person, the ides of April, 1997.
              ( an excellent photo of JMS and his first Hugo Award is,
                appropriately, available in Section Eight, below. )
