Die Galaktische Patrouille hat die ultimative Waffe im Krieg gegen den bösen Piraten Boskone erhalten: das Lens. Obwohl die Lensmen der Patrouille die gefürchtetsten Friedenswächter der Galaxie sind, sind sie sich nicht ganz sicher, wie sie ihr einzigartiges Geschenk nutzen sollen. Doch das wird sich ändern. Kimball Kinnison hat gerade die Akademie abgeschlossen, und jetzt, da er sein Lens verdient hat, ist er entschlossen herauszufinden, wie es funktioniert. Kinnison beginnt seine Entdeckungsreise, indem er das Kommando über die Brittania übernimmt, ein experimentelles Schiff, das ihn ebenso gut töten könnte wie die Boskone-Räuber, gegen die es gebaut wurde. Das führt ihn auf eine Reihe von abenteuerlichen Erlebnissen, die einen Besuch auf dem Planeten Arisia umfassen – wo die geheimnisvollen Schöpfer des Lens wohnen – und endet in einer Konfrontation mit Helmuth, der möglicherweise Boskone selbst ist. Dies ist der dritte Band der Lensman-Serie, der Roman, in dem, wie der SF-Kritiker John Clute es ausdrückt, "die Geschichte begonnen hat und nicht aufhört." Dies ist eine mitreißende Erzählung von Helden, Außerirdischen, Weltraumschlachten und kühnen Taten, das, woraus die Science-Fiction der Goldenen Ära gemacht wurde.
