A Magnificent Blend of Science Fiction & Satire
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Hubbard continues to astound me with this brilliant book 2 in the Mission Earth Dekology. The aliens infiltrate the earth culture and establish their base in Turkey in a mountian top. They launch their insidious plan to plunder earth, but Jettero Heller is acting under different orders. He is here to arrest the polution problem to keep the planet inhabitable for when the galactic government of Voltair decides it is time to invade based on their time table. The story is narrated by Soltan Gris, the man whose job it is to foil Heller's Mission and make it possible for an early invasion by the 'Apparatus' a CIA type organization on another planet. This is an incredible fun story. Heller travels from Afyon Turkey to New York City and is assaulted and befriended by everything from assassins to prostitutes. It's a very high speed adventure, and really get the whole series set up for some hillarious comedy. You will really enjoy the wit and humor of this author, as well as desire to keep reading all ten volumes. It's a great work.
Is this Mastery?-- I think SO!

After being a horror fan for years, I took upon myself the task of reading this piece of work by L. Ron Hubbard. After finally being able to set down volume 10, I decided that it was in fact THE greatest set of books that I have ever read. The satire involved, the characters that you love and hate, Heller, Krak, Gris, Bury, Epstein, Vantagio, Babe and even Mr. Calico... some of the most brilliant writing that I have EVER seen. Sad there was no movie made after this, instead of Battlefield Earth
Fast, fun, easy.

Hubbard's scientific imaginings are more fantastic than Clarke's, and better integrated into his stories. Cliffhanger after cliffhanger. The pace is so fast, boredom won't even come into your zip code.
Can't put it down.

Hubbard was THE master of a certain technique: he leaves you at the end of each chapter hanging so far out over a cliff that you HAVE to turn the page.
Marvelous!!

Follow a bungling, over-ambitious alien intelligence agent from his home world, through space and all around our earth as he tries to complete his mission, while his "Dudly Doright" partner trips, traps, and thwarts him at every turn. L. Ron Hubbard, the master of satire, expertly weaves an intriguing tale of suspense that will make you laugh, make you cry, and keep you on the edge of your seat through the entire dekology of his Mission Earth book
