Lord Tedric

(#3 of ?)
by EE Doc Smith

Space opera
From the 1930s?
 Rated 4/10: bad but could be read

I've enjoyed lensmen and skylark series, never heard of Tedric before.

All the signs of Doc Smith's enormous imagination.
Too enormous.. missing the first books, this series misses too much to really enjoy. 

The hero, a very human, very intelligent, very physical barbarian, flits across universes, thanks to his work for the God-like Scientists.
Various other characters, robot and alien, prove their essential niceness by... learning to love.
No, it's not tedious... just space opera silly.
This may be one of the very few books that I can bear to bin.
Maybe... maybe tomorrow :-)
