Skylark系列,第1卷(共4卷)。才华横溢的政府科学家Richard Seaton发现了一种非凡的超光速燃料,能够为他的星际飞船The Skylark提供动力。他心狠手辣的对手Marc DuQuesne与阴险的World Steel Corporation企图不择手段攫取这种燃料。他们绑架了Seaton的未婚妻和好友,引发了一场狂怒的跨星际追逐,并点燃了熊熊的复仇怒火,驱使The Skylark穿梭于银河系的各个角落。《The Skylark of Space》是太空歌剧流派的开山之作,也是史上最优秀的太空歌剧之一。风趣轻快的对白、浪漫的阴谋、有血有肉的人性缺憾

…the Lensman series, and Campbell's unapologetic "super science", but the prose has not aged well and I find them difficult to read now. I feel a little sad about that. I can still recommend Smith's The Skylark of Space and Skylark Three, and Campbell's The Moon is Hell, but not much else.

Going way back the Skylark of Space series was all about people showing up to some solar system where two species are fighting it out and then they settle it but then they find some other species is planning to wipe them all out so now…
