The invaders plan

A monumental work--accompanied as a genuine 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. Each volume, in turn, became a New York Times and then an international best seller. MISSION EARTH has already sold more than five million copies and continues to appear on bestseller lists in countries throughout the world. 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. 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.
