"Galactic Patrol" is the story of the various conflicts between the
Eddorian supported space pirates and the Arisian supported Lensmen.
Most of the book is about Rod Kinnison's various exploits to expose and
destroy the space pirates that are plaguing the commerce of the galactic
free planets.
I've read all these several times, the last time maybe 20 years
ago. On my bucket list is to read the stories as they originally
appeared in the magazines -- Starting with Galactic Patrol, and
skipping all the "what's going on behind the scenes with Arisia
and Eddore that Our Heros know nothing about."
I have read the magazine versions (not for close to 5 decades and the
pages of those issues of Astounding SF were yellow then). One thing I
remember that had nothing to do with Arisia and Eddore was that Smith
used metric units (the book versions had english units).
