Mission Earth Volume 1: The Invaders Plan

By L. Ron Hubbard

Earth does not exist. . . . Or so they want you to believe. Who are they? What do they want? And who do they think they are? They are the Voltarians of Voltar—an empire 110 planets strong.

They are already among us. And the invasion is about to begin . . . in a hundred years or so. Or is it? The truth is far more sinister. Undercover, underground and out of sight, the invaders plan what may in fact be a massive diversion. In the darkest recesses of Voltar’s Coordinated Information Apparatus (otherwise known as the CIA), a tyrant of terror sets out to exploit the invasion in order to seize power. All that stands in his way is a planet that doesn’t exist.

Discover a world where corporations rule and political corruption is rife. Where governments are driven by oil and controlled by drugs. Where global warming is getting hotter by the minute . . . and a scorching love affair could determine the fate of millions. Where a cosmic conspiracy is about to hit home and the intergalactic intrigue knows no bounds.

They call it Blito-P3. We call it Earth.

You can’t afford to look the other way. It’s the end of the world as you know it . . . and the beginning of one of the most spectacular, thought-provoking, and wildly inventive works of science fiction and espionage of our time

“You will lose sleep. You will miss appointments. If you don’t force yourself to set it down and talk to your family from time to time, you may be looking for a new place to live. Reading The Invaders Plan is simply the most fun you can have by yourself.” —Orson Scott Card

L. Ron Hubbard

With 19 New York Times bestsellers and more than 350 million copies of his works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard is among the most enduring and widely read authors of our time. As a leading light of American Pulp Fiction through the 1930s and '40s, he is further among the most influential authors of the modern age. Indeed, from Ray Bradbury to Stephen King, there is scarcely a master of imaginative tales who has not paid tribute to L. Ron Hubbard. Then too, of course, there is all L. Ron Hubbard represents as the Founder of Dianetics and Scientology and thus the only major religion born in the 20th century.

Reviews for Mission Earth Volume 1

[longhorndaniel · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Ok this was a series that I was really really excited about reading at 1st; great action; wonderful characters; cool plot twists; lots and lots of good stuff; then about half way thru book 3 really started feeling like a soap opera with too much sex for no stupid reason other than to show that the writer is a pervert then continued in books 4 and 5 and I had my heart on reading all 10 but after just a chapter or so of book six I JUST COULDN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE SO OVERALL VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED; leaving the rating as 4 stars though due to the enjoyment I received at 1st

I really enjoyed this series. It was very creative with a good hero, Jettero Heller and I liked the technology of the space ship Tug One.I read all ten books in the series skipping Volume 1 the first time through because I wanted to read about what happened on Earth, then went back and read volume 1 after I satisfied that need.This series is a Sci Fi satire, full of comical escapades of lesser characters around a rather more composed Jettero Heller who is trying to succeed in his Mission to save Earth which is referred to by Volartians as Blito P3.

I don't understand why this book is so overrated. It was boring, the plot is bad (can I say stupid?) and you can feel the Scientology principles everywhere; shaping the character's motivations. There are so much better scifi books to read, don't lose your time.

Having to state at the beginning of a book that it is a satire is the same as someone telling you they're a celebrity: if they have to tell you, they really are not. This book is more of a disappointment due to the expectation set by "Battlefield Earth." I am extremely thankful that I did not invest in the other nine volumes of this ponderous "saga".

This series is really PULP sci-fi. Well yes, as a teenie I was reading anything.
