Description:As The Dragon Lensman
opens, the Boskonian conspiracy seems to have been vanquished with its
defeat at the great Battle of Klovia, and the victorious Galactic Patrol
is busy re-orienting itself to face the new challenges of policing a
galaxy instead of defending it against a ruthless invader. Among those
adjusting to the new reality is Second Stage Lensman Worsel, the
legendary warrior/scientist famed for his intelligence and dedication to
the fight against ignorance and evil. Like all of his species, Worsel
resembles the mythological dragons of old Tellus (Earth), with a sinewy,
ten-meter-long body covered in scales and boasting great wings and
terrifying claws and teeth. But Worsel's real strength is his mind and
its unmatched psychic abilities, concentrated and focused by the Lens
shining among his many eye-stalks. And it is the intuition bred of that
power that now draws Worsel to the Velantians' incredible archive, the
18-mile-wide artificial moon known as the Planetoid of Knowledge, where
he feels certain something important is waiting for him.
