Neal "Storm" Cloud failed his Lensman exam, but life has a strange way of making heroes of even those who sometimes fail. After his family is tragically killed when a misguided experiment lands a fragment of a vortex right on his house, Cloud leaves the Radiation Lab where he worked studying these vortices and begins a new job as the universe's one and only Vortex Blaster. Only he, the "human computer," has a mind fast enough to calculate the exact center of the vortex and how big a bomb is needed to extinguish it instead of exploding it into multiple vortices. This job takes him from planet to planet where he matches wits against drug dealers and gangsters, meets strange new life forms, and acquires a crew for his small scout ship. An interstellar adventure from the mind of E. E. Doc Smith that is sure to excite!
