L. Ron Hubbard Books Overview

The Invaders Plan

From Lord Invay, Royal Historian, Chairman, Board of Censors, Royal Palace, Voltar Confederacy: ‘Let me state it boldly and baldly: there is no such planet as ‘Earth.’ ‘If it ever existed at all, it certainly does not exist today or even within living memory. ‘So, away with this delusion. ‘On the authority of every highly placed official in the land I can assure you utterly and finally, THERE IS NO PLANET EARTH! And that is final!’ With this emphatic disclaimer, we are introduced to MISSION EARTH, an epic told entirely and uniquely by the aliens that already walk among us. Earth is to be invaded and a Royal combat engineer must cross 22 light years to secretly infiltrate the planet. He is also crossing a scheme to use the resources of Earth’s most powerful figure to overthrow the confederacy. With a convicted murderess who trains giant cat like animals, a doctor who creates human biological freaks, a madman who controls Voltar’s secret police, and clandestine Earth base in Turkey, a bizarre stage is set and narrated by an alien killer assigned to sabotage the mission and Earth the planet that doesn’t exist.

Black Genesis

Earth is the target of an alien invasion. However, the planet is being destroyed at a rate that will make it uninhabitable by the time the Volatarians are scheduled to arrive. Fleet officer Jettero Heller is sent on MISSION EARTH to arrest the pollution, not knowing that his mission threatens a plot to overthrow the 110 planet empire. Narrated by Soltan Gris, the alien killer sent to secretly sabotage the mission and to kill Heller at the appropriate moment, this is the saga of a doomed planet Earth. Now, in Black Genesis, Heller and Gris travel 22 1/2 light years and arrive at the secret Earth base to begin their conflicting assignments. Unaware that he is about to encounter the forces of the most powerful man on Earth, Heller is soon caught up in the wrath of federal agencies, the war of Mafia families, the disputes of United Nations diplomats and their paramours, the stealth of assassins and the frustrations of the American educational system. From Afyon, Turkey to New York City, Heller is assaulted and befriended by assassins, thugs, champion wrestlers, drug addicts, anarchists, police, prostitutes, homosexuals, attorneys, cab drivers, ecologists, FBI and IRS agents in this rollicking, non stop, high speed adventure.

The Enemy Within

Will the Galactic fate of Earth be determined by a mafia family run by a six foot six former Roxy chorus girl? Can Voltarian Fleet officer Jettero Heller accomplish his secret mission while living at the posh Gracious Palms who*rehouse across the street from the United Nations? Is a nature Appreciation class at a New York university really the way to stop the devastation planned by the 110 planet Voltarian confederacy? What does bubble bath, a NATO task force off the shores of Manhattan, Rudolf Valentino, James Cagney, a Turkish belly dancer, Connecticut deputy sherrifs, the last surviving member of Hitler’s general staff, and Long Island demolition derby have to do with the survival of Earth? How does a planet get itself into such a ridiculous predicament? Earth is in the path of conquest of the most powerful empire in the galaxy. Combat engineer Heller has been sent to secretly arrest the pollution to make the planet inhabitable for the coming Voltarian invaders. Narrated by the alien killer sent to secretly sabotage Heller’s mission, ‘The Enemy Within‘ is rollicking, high speed adventure with the most bizzare collection of incidents and characters to hit this corner of the galaxy.

The Doomed Planet

Whoom! The tank, containing Lombar Hisst, was thrown backwards fifty yards in a breath! Men and huts and buildings were flying through the air as though propelled by the most monstrous hurricane that ever hit a planet’s face. A hundred thousand rebel troops under Prince Mortiiy fell upon the hated Apparatus survivors. There was no quarter given. Lombar Hisst lay in the cabin of the tank. The vehicle was upside down. Apparently they had missed, somehow, the fact that he was there. Lombar Hisst began to plan. Palace City in a hundred and twenty five thousand years had never been breached. Lombar flipped the tank upright and held the throttles still. In a crazy surge of glee, he flipped on the tank’s loud hailer system and bellowed: ‘You idiots. I’ll laugh in the faces of your corpses when you try to crack the gates of Palace City. COME AND GET ME!’ Will Hisst escape into Palace City and successfully defy Jettero Heller and Prince Mortiiy’s invasion forces? Will the Army and Fleet remain aloof from the fight between Hisst and Heller and, thus, endanger the invasion and overthrow Hisst? And what about J. Walter Madison? Will his ‘PR’ efforts finally doom Earth to invasion despite all Jettero Heller’s efforts to protect his friends back on Earth? Find out the answers to these questions, and more, in this exciting, fiery concluding volume of L. Ron Hubbard’s best selling epic MISSION EARTH.

Against his better judgement, Terry investigates her lead only to find himself sealed in a coffin en route to the next zombie murders his own.

When Dahlgren disappears purportedly to find a mysterious aviator, the man called ‘Wind Gone Mad’ who has always fought against the province warlords he ignites a series of actions which just may spell disaster.

Set in an uncertain, strife torn future when the first starships of man are traveling across the galaxy but not without extracting a terrible price from their crews.

Twenty five years ago, L. Ron Hubbard created and endowed the Writers of the Future Contest as a means for new and budding writers to have a chance for their creative efforts to be seen and acknowledged. Since that time, the Contest has been a phenomenal success, inspiring a generation of new writers who have now become some of the most recognized and influential voices in the fields of science fiction and fantasy. For the first time in history, this full color coffee table style art book, presents a retrospective of a quarter century of the Contest containing over 1,100 photographs. You will find the historical highlights, the famed week long intensive workshops, the guest speakers and presenters who have included astronauts, industry leaders, futurists, filmmakers, actors, recording artists, and other visionaries. Each year, the awards ceremony is a celebration of creativity and the arts.
