Synopsis

Essef - A volume of a huge Science Fiction dekalogy. The Voltar Confederation has a long-range plan to use Earth as a strategic staging area in its continuing conquest of the galaxy. However, with the discovery that Earth is being destroyed by pollution, drugs and other menaces, Combat Engineer Jettero Heller is sent on a top-secret mission to save the planet from self-destruction. Unknown to Heller, another Voltarian faction (the Coordinated Information Apparatus) has secretly been using Earth as a supply base for drugs. It dispatches its own counter mission to thwart Heller's plans.

About this title

Review

"""Mission Earth" is epic science fiction: a rollicking, sprawling romp, chock-full of action and filled with sly social commentary. Who'd have thought a ten-volume series could still leave readers wanting more?""--ROBERT J. SAWYER
""The adventure, colored by broad strokes of satire, is written with a vigor.""--PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

."..bristles with excitement on every page." --Dow Jones
"."..features rich inventiveness, brisk pacing, and a large cast of appealing characters."" --Booklist

"."..a wild compound of science fiction action, political satire and sexual comedy.""--Cincinnati Post

"Ironic, exciting, romantic and hilarious." --Orson Scott Card
""A great mix of science speculations, science fiction and outrageous humor. I was hooked from the very beginning. Mission Earth will super charge your imagination and give your funny bone a work-out."" --DR. HARRY KLOOR, PHD2
""Hubbard is a thinker who writes, rather than a writer who thinks, as most masters are."" --SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
..".bristles with excitement on every page." --Dow Jones
