KAMN Show #30 Repost: Galactic Patrol
Welcome to Show #30… again.
Summer, David and special guest Tim Callender (host of The Babylon Podcast) gather ’round to discuss “Galactic Patrol”, the original first novel of E. E. “Doc” Smith’s “Lensman” space opera series.
The audio quality is still popping in places, but it’s the best Mike can do.
I had tried to read Triplanetary in the past, and bounced off it. But the description of Galactic Patrol sounds pretty fun! BTW, some of E.E. “Doc” Smith’s books are in the public domain, and are available at manybooks.net (not, alas, Galactic Patrol though.)
And Summer, while I don’t remember “Space Dog”, some of the Space Cat books have really stuck in my memory. I especially remember “Space Cat and the Kittens.”
Not “Space Dog”. “Stardog” by A.M. Lightner. And I have no memory of the Space Cat books save for the colorful library covers of some of them.
Come to think of it, I think “Dogsbody” by Diana Wynne Jones should be on our list of books to cover. And maybe “Star Ka’at”… who did that, Andre Norton? Ha! Yes, Google confirms my memory on that is correct!
