Boskone

Boskone

"This article is about the fictional organization in E.E. Smith's Lensman series. For the yearly BOSKONE science fiction convention, see Boskone (convention)".

The Boskone were the alien villains in the E.E. 'Doc' Smith's Lensemen series and used mainly in the animated series.

In the books, 'Boskone' is a term used by the Lensmen for pirates of various species and with a hidden leadership. It is eventually traced to a 'Council of Boskone', Eich of the planet Jarnevon. But even they are just agents of Ploor and Eddore.
