A review by rnzucker
Triplanetary by E.E. "Doc" Smith

2.0

This is definitely a product of its time. But I just couldn't deal with the sexism, the simplicity of the plot later in the book, and overall old style and triumph of humans. In the first several sections of the book, it is supposed to be showing the conflict between the two elder races via proxies, but it is totally unclear that that is happening. The events in Atlantis and ancient Rome seem totally unrelated to the rest of the book.
