## Description

Triplanetary thrusts humanity into a sweeping space opera, serving as the foundational epic of the legendary Lensman series. For millions of years, two near-omnipotent alien races, the benevolent Arisians and the malevolent Eddorians, have waged a secret cosmic war, with the Arisians subtly guiding humanity's evolution. As civilization expands, the Triplanetary League unites Earth, Mars, and Venus against interstellar threats. When menacing Nevians, an advanced alien species desperate for iron, launch a devastating attack on Earth, Patrol agent Conway Costigan finds himself embroiled in humanity's first interstellar conflict. Battling alongside space pirates and against the formidable Nevian invaders, Costigan and his allies must uncover the secrets of their enemies to ensure the survival of civilization itself. This seminal work explores themes of heroism, large-scale space warfare, and the destiny of races caught in an ancient galactic struggle.
