Children of the Lens by E. E. Smith audiobook.

Genre: scifi

In the climactic final volume of E. E. Smith's Lensman saga, the war between Civilization and the shadowy power of Boskone enters a new and dangerous phase. Kimball Kinnison and Clarissa MacDougall Kinnison have helped shape the Galactic Patrol into a force capable of challenging interstellar crime-lords and hidden manipulators, but the enemy is older, subtler, and more deeply embedded than anyone suspects. Their children - a group of astonishingly gifted youngsters raised in secrecy and trained with ruthless care - begin to test the limits of what a Lensman can be. Possessing mental talents that surpass even the greatest adults, they are asked to do what the Patrol cannot: slip past defenses, uncover buried truths, and strike at the heart of an adversary who fights with deception as much as with fleets. As their powers grow and their mission expands from local battles to galaxy-spanning strategy, the Children must balance loyalty, discipline, and compassion against the cold necessities of total war. Vast space opera set pieces, escalating psychic conflict, and a sense of cosmic stakes drive this fast, ferocious conclusion - where the future of Civilization rests on minds that are barely old enough to be called human.
