The Mission Earth Series
In the introduction to his international bestselling ten volume science fiction satire, Mission Earth, L. Ron Hubbard wrote:“Although satire is sometimes identified with comedy- and certainly it can be very funny -- it is essentially concerned with exposing some flaws or excess...the laugh that satire produces is more often a foil aimed at the heart of human folly.”
Mission Earth is a true satire in all senses of the word, an hilarious expose of the shortcomings of modern society as personified by politicians, gangsters, bankers, diplomats, attorneys, PRs and all manner of other familiar characters. The overall motif of the series is the planned infiltration and invasion of Earth by a race of technologically advanced aliens from the planet Voltar. The hero, Jettero Heller, sets in motion a plan to correct Earth’s pollution, while a secret branch of the Voltarian government sends its own agent, a despicable, bungling villain, to sabotage Heller’s mission. The fiercely paced, sharply satiric series of adventures and misadventures, plots and counterplots, triumphs and disasters that follow- as the two protagonists come to grips with life in the 20th century- are not only entertaining but very enlightening.
If you have ever wondered what was really going on behind the scenes on Earth today, this series is for you!
