A monumental work acclaimed as a genuine masterpiece, L. Ron Hubbard's 1.2-million-word ten-volume MISSION EARTH dekalogy brilliantly blends science fiction and action/adventure with stinging satire reminiscent of Voltaire, Swift, and Orwell. This publishing phenomenon set precedents as each volume became a New York Times and international bestseller, selling over five million copies worldwide. It has won France's Cosmos 2000 Award and Italy's Nova Science Fiction Award, and was nominated for a Hugo Award. The epic narrative details a secret invasion of Earth, recounted by aliens living among us. The story features memorable characters and richly described locations such as Palace City, Joy City, and the prison fortress of Spiteos, all set against the backdrop of the Voltar Confederation's plan to use Earth as a staging area for galactic conquest.

Unbeknownst to him, a rival faction, the Coordinated Information Apparatus, is using Earth as a drug supply base and sends its own mission to thwart Heller's efforts.
