Ok, the science is badly outdated, and the social mores are from the 30s so there are some social dynamics that a female friend found archaic...but the clever storylines and internal coherence make up for it. I first discovered this book when I was in my teens, and I still enjoy it for a fun read.
It was originally intended to be a series, but a second book was never written. IMO it is one of Doc Smith's best stories.
