Summary: A Magnificent Blend of Science Fiction & Satire
Review: Hubbard continues to astound me with this brilliant book 2 in the Mission Earth Dekology. The aliens infiltrate the earth culture and establish their base in Turkey in a mountian top. They launch their insidious plan to plunder earth, but Jettero Heller is acting under different orders. He is here to arrest the polution problem to keep the planet inhabitable for when the galactic government of Voltair decides it is time to invade based on their time table. The story is narrated by Soltan Gris, the man whose job it is to foil Heller's Mission and make it possible for an early invasion by the 'Apparatus' a CIA type organization on another planet. This is an incredible fun story. Heller travels from Afyon Turkey to New York City and is assaulted and befriended by everything from assassins to prostitutes. It's a very high speed adventure, and really get the whole series set up for some hillarious comedy. You will really enjoy the wit and humor of this author, as well as desire to keep reading all ten volumes. It's a great work.

Summary: Might as well buy all the books at once...
Review: I don't find time to read very often and yet I have read these books through 4 times. Heller is like James Bond without the sleeping around. If you let yourself get [pulled] into the book the satire is hilarious and action nonstop. You are constantly wondering what is going to happen next. The books are a fast read so I recommend buying them all at once.

Summary: Disappointed...
Review: I got sucked into the Mission Earth series after reading the spectacular "Battlefield Earth" (the best pulp scifi novel ever). Unfortunately, after buying in hardback all 10 of these bloated episodes, hoping that they would lead to a great ending, I was sorely disappointed.While the stories do have some of Hubbard's humor and some interesting satire, they don't have the cohesion, pacing or the characters of Battlefield Earth. It's not worth your time. (Note, those dust-jackets however have to be the most spectacular ever made.)

Summary: A real enjoyable read; satire at its best!
Review: This is one of a ten book series written about an alien confederacy and how an evil but powerful man from that confederacy is ruining earth from afar. Another man, the protagonist, is sent to earth to try and right matters. What I most enjoyed was that this book, and 6-7 others in the series were written from the sickly demented viewpoint of one of the antagonists. The books are fast-paced, informative (good satire on this planet of ours) and an easy read
