About Triplanetary

"Triplanetary" by E. E. Smith is a science fiction novel first serialized in 1934 and published in book form in 1948. Ancient alien races wage a secret cosmic war through human history, manipulating bloodlines across millennia—from Atlantis to Rome to future World Wars.

Patrol agent Conway Costigan must use forbidden technology to save civilization and spark the first interstellar war.
