1. Larry Niven’s “Ring World” & sequels.
2. Felipe José Farmer’s “River World” & sequels but done properly!
3. E. E. “Doc” Smith’s “Lensman” series.
4. Richard C. Meredith’s “We All Died at Breakaway Station”.
To name a few!
Yah that would be good...I saw the TV movie or whatever it was....WAAAAYY to lame and tame.
