A monumental work -- acclaimed as agenuine masterpiece -- L. Ron Hubbard's 1.2-million-word-ten-volume MISSION EARTH dekalogy brilliantly blends science fiction and action/adventure on a vast interstellar scale with stinging satire -- in the literary tradition of Voltaire, Swift and Orwell -- on the world's foibles and fancies.

A true publishing phenomenon -- precedent-setting when each volume, in turn, became a New York Times and then an international bestseller -- MISSION EARTH has already sold more than five million copies and continues to appear on bestseller lists in contries throghout the world.

Winner of France's Cosmos 2000 Award and the Nova Science Fiction Award in Italy, and nominated for a Hugo Award, MISSION EARTH is an epic narrative of a secret invasion of Earth as seen-and vividly recounted -- by the aliens who, unrecognized, already live and work among us. It is a novel crowded with sharply memorable characters and with places and events cloaked in splendor, menace and mystery: Palace City, Joy City, the forbidden prison fortress of Spiteos, the violent fall of the Voltar Confederation.

The Voltar Confederation has a long-range plan to use Earth as a strategic staging area in its continuing conquest of the galaxy. However, with the discovery that Earth is being destroyed by pollution, drugs and other menaces, Combat Engineer Jettero Heller is sent on a top-secret mission to save the planet from self-destruction. Unknown to Heller, another Voltarian faction (the Coordinated Information Apparatus) has secretly been using Earth as a supply base for drugs. It dispatches its own counter mission to thwart Heller's plans.

Disaster

Who is the true master of disaster?

Earthlings: prepare for the shock of your lives!

Global warming . . . reversed.

The energy crisis . . . over.

The greatest problem on Earth . . . solved.

Voltarian Royal Officer of the Fleet, Jettero Heller, has it all figured out. And he's devised a daring and ingenious plan to make it all happen . . . if he lives to see the day.

Saving the world is never easy, and for Heller, it turns out to be a tricky--and risky--business.

He'll have to blast a gang of space pirates in a lethal laser firefight. He'll have to find a way to capture and control a black hole. He'll have to undertake a perilous journey to Saturn and back and transport a titanic chunk of ice across the solar system.

Then comes the hard part . . . because Heller is headed back to Voltar, where he's about to uncover the identity of the powerful figure behind the conspiracy to end all conspiracies. He's facing his deadliest nemesis yet, and before the intergalactic battle is over, the entire mission could end in DISASTER.
