A monumental work acclaimed as a genuine masterpiece, L. Ron Hubbard's 1.2-million-word ten-volume dekalogy brilliantly blends science fiction and action/adventure on a vast interstellar scale with sharp satire reminiscent of Voltaire, Swift, and Orwell. This publishing phenomenon set precedents as each volume became a New York Times bestseller, with over five million copies sold and ongoing success on bestseller lists 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 unfolds a secret invasion of Earth, narrated by aliens who live among us unnoticed. The story features memorable characters and locales shrouded in splendor, menace, and mystery, including Palace City, Joy City, and the prison fortress of Spiteos, alongside the turbulent fall of the Voltar Confederation. This Confederation aims to use Earth as a staging area for galactic conquest. However, as Earth faces destruction from pollution and drugs, Combat Engineer Jettero Heller is sent on a mission to save it. Unbeknownst to him, a rival faction, the Coordinated Information Apparatus, has been exploiting Earth for drug supply and dispatches its own mission to sabotage Heller’s efforts.
