They were four of the greatest minds in the Universe: Two men and two women, all Psionic Primes, lost in an experimental spaceship billions of parsecs from home. And as they mentally charted the cosmos to find their way back to Earth, their own loves and hates were as startling as the worlds they encountered... Here is E. E. Smith's classic science fiction novel -- one of the greatest space operas of all time!

Review of 'The Galaxy Primes' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

The Galaxy Primes involves yet more "psionics", a common theme in Doc Smith's works. And like most Smith novels, it moves along with a lot of action. A team of mentally advanced people takes out an experimental space ship, and quickly gets lost in a vast universe. They do eventually figure out how the ship works and manage to control it and come home. There is a surprising discovery involved, but I don't want to give it away in a review. Overall, this is a pleasant diversion, but not something that will go on anyone's "must read" list. I happen to be a huge fan of Doc Smith and have read just about everything he wrote. This is a work that exemplifies "pulp fiction".

I read this as part of a collection "The Works of E.E. "Doc" Smith"
