The Skylark of Space has been identified as the first space opera novel ever written. It holds a place of extreme importance to the science fiction field. The series follows Dr. Richard Seaton, the inventor of humanity's first faster than light drive. He must keep his invention out of the hands of those who would use it for their own selfish purposes.
