OverviewSoltan Gris confesses his crimes as THE INVADERS PLAN Mission Earth. This is his confession our world through his eyes.Sinister. Satirical. Wickedly funny. Earth does not exist. . . .Or so they want you to believe. Who are they and what do they want? They are the Voltarians of Voltar an empire 110 planets strong. And they are headed straight for us. Soltan Gris, former executive of Voltar s Coordinated Information Apparatus, reveals the shocking truth: Earth has been targeted as a supply base for Voltar s galactic conquest. But the powers that be on Earth are slowly destroying the planet, and it s up to the charismatic Jettero Heller to infiltrate the population and stem the tide of pollution and global warming. It s a dangerous mission that puts him into conflict with the ruthless Voltarian Lombar Hisst, who has plans of his own for the planet. Playing with fire, however, is in Heller s nature; he has fallen in love with the hypnotic Countess Krak a woman as voluptuous as she is violent. Discover a world where corporate power rules and political corruption is rife. Where governments are driven by oil and controlled by drugs. Where global warming is getting hotter by the minute . . . and a scorching love affair could determine the fate of millions. Where a cosmic conspiracy is about to hit home posing a grave danger to Earth and the intergalactic intrigue knows no bounds. You can t afford to look the other way. It s the end of the world as you know it and the beginning of one of the most spectacular, thought-provoking, and wildly inventive works of science fiction and espionage of our time.

Author InformationWith 22 New York Times bestsellers and more than 230,000,000 copies of his works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard is among the most acclaimed and widely read authors of our time. As a leading light of American Pulp Fiction through the 1930 s and 40s, he is further among the most influential authors of the modern age. Indeed, from Ray Bradbury to Stephen King, there is scarcely a master of imaginative tales who has not paid tribute to L. Ron Hubbard. In celebration of his fiftieth anniversary as an author, he again returned to the forefront of popular literature with his monumental epics Battlefield Earth and the 10-volume Mission Earth series. Together, these titles dominated international bestseller lists for 153 weeks, and still remain among the all-time classic works of modern speculative fiction.
