Triplanetary
E. E. Smith
Book Overview:
E.E. "Doc" Smith pretty much invented the space opera genre, and Triplanetary is a good and well-known example. Physics, time, and politics never stand in the way of a plot that gallops ahead without letup.
Come enjoy this story of yesteryear, set in tomorrow, where real women ignite love at a glance, real men achieve in days what governments manage in decades, and aliens are an ever-present threat to Life-As-We-Know-It!

Orders come in by blinker to rectify the line by falling back, but by then it couldn't be done. Under observation."
