Book log: E.E "Doc" Smith - The Vortex Blaster

Book 12)

This was the out-of-copyright short story, downloaded from Feedbooks, rather than the fix-up novel with the same title. It's set in the Lensman universe (although it's not part of the main sequence of stories), and has the classic pulp feel to it. If you don't like that style, you'll hate the story, but if you do, it's a fun short read.

Thanks for the link. I buy old copies whenever I see them, but that leaves holes in middle of series so it's good to be able to file some of them.

I'm finding FeedBooks very useful for classics (i.e. old enough to be out of copyright) that I would like to read but am not willing to find shelf space for if it means turfing out something else to make room. They take much of their public domain material from Project Gutenberg, also a wonderful resource, but have a useful "people who liked this also liked these", and the ability to create pdfs and other file formats for the exact screen size/font size/etc you prefer.
