77.0. "New Lensmen Stories" by PARROT::BLOTCKY () Thu May 24 1984 04:03

There are three new "LENSMEN" books written by David A. Kyle.
They are "authorized" by Smith's heirs and are titled:
THE DRAGON LENSMAN
LENSMAN FROM RIGEL
Z-LENSMAN
and are about the three, non tellurian, second stage lensman.
There will supposedly be more.
I read all three and enjoyed them, though they differed in quality.

	I also have read them and enjoyed them. They aren't quite up "Doc" Smith's standards, but are still good reading about characters and situations which we have come to enjoy.
77.2	Anybody got them?	ENOVAX::BARRETT	Beam me up Lord	`Fri Mar 23 1990 16:35`	7
	I have tried to locate some these books (and the possibility of a fouth) and have had no luck. I have the Dragon Lensman from when it came out - but they all seem to be out of print. Can anyone help me? Perhaps I could borrow from someone just to read them? Thanks, Keith
77.3	The Lens	SNOFS1::CLARKE	Pray for Peace in Jerusalem	`Fri Mar 15 1991 00:23`	9
	This is as good a place as any ;), has any one heard/seen anything on the Japanese animation "The Lens" ?? I have heard a report here in Oz from a friend who was watching either CNN or NBC(?) Today, and they had a 'still' from the animation of (supposedly) Virgil Samms, Rod "the Rock" Kinnison & Port Admiral Clayton (?) walking onto the deck of the (??) with a number of Rigellians around "The Tank". Release dates ? Avaliability ? Is it any good ? Anything ! hazza :*]
77.4		SNOFS1::CLARKE	Pray for Peace in Jerusalem	`Mon Mar 25 1991 02:29`	4
	I guess after nearly 2 weeks, the answer is 'nyet'. Ok, sorry to have bothered you all, hazza :*] p.s. Hi King.
77.5	The Lensman movie.	NYTP07::LAM		`Mon Mar 25 1991 12:37`	11
	re: -.1 Hi Hazza, The name of the movie is not "The Lens" but "The Lensman". It's playing tonite at New York's Film Forum where they are having a Japanese animation festival for the next 2 weeks. I understsnd it's loosely based on EE Doc Smith's Lensman series so there are bound to be changes. I'm going to see it tonite. I'll report on it after I see it. ktlam...
77.6	Lensman movie is about average.	NYTP07::LAM		`Tue Mar 26 1991 14:35`	24
77.7		SNOFS1::CLARKE	Me: BC==Scarlet; AD==White_As_Snow	`Tue Apr 02 1991 01:44`	6
	Thanks King, appreciate you taking time to post that. Hmmmm... don't think I'll rush out to see it - bit of a pity though. Why take a perfectly good space- opera, and louse it up with StarWars and BattleStar ??? GBY, hazza :] (yes, that* hazza)
