Perhaps this was the start of a new lensman-related series?

"Masters of the Vortex" may have been the start of a new lensman-related series. I do not know. I did enjoy the book when I read it in the 1960s. Personally, I recommend it. The book is pure E. E. (Doc) Smith. So, there is plenty of action. My suspicion was that Smith was starting to gather threads to carry out the promise in "Children of the Lens" that some new 'threat' was coming and that new second-stage and third-stage lensmen would appear.
A must for fans of the series...

Though I agree that this book isn't the epic tale that the six books of the 'original' series are, it is a good entertaning read. It fills in many details of a universe populated by more than just (dare I say perfect...?) lensmen. The characters are flawed and thus far more human seeming than the characters in the other books.
