MISSION EARTH 6 DEATH QUEST BY L. RON HUBARD Want a book that pushes the limits of satire, then do I have a book or series for you! The series is called Mission Earth and the book is called Death Quest. It was written by L. Ron Hubard, Author of science fiction great's like Battle Field Earth, and Lunacy. He has been writting science fiction since the late 30's and has amassed quite a following over the years. Though unfortunately he has the greatest notoriety for his book DYNATICS, which I found to be no different from any other self help book. Imagine earth containing nothing but lunatics (Not far in the future if you take into account what has been going on recently). And two men from another galaxy come for two completely different reasons. Jetro Heller, interstellar hero , soldier , and all around good guy is trying to save the planet so that it will still be around when the Votarian government is ready to invade. While Soltan Gris is what I would call a Homicidal Schizophrenic working for an equally insane organization called Central Information Apparatus or CIA, Notice the similarity of name to another Earth based organization. Well this is no coincidence, Because Apparatus is modeled after Earths CIA and is just as bent upon domination of all. Which comes to Soltans mission, which is to make sure that Jetro Heller fails his mission so that Apparatus can continue to import drugs from earth to Voltar For the sole purpose of addicting and enslaving the leaders of that world. Besides the two central characters there is a lot of sickos to play with your head. First there is J. F. Rockecenter A multi-billionaire with some pretty big mental problems he has a hand in everything from energy, drugs, real estate, banking, mining And every thing else that is associated with big business, which is bad news for the rest of the world because he has the power to anything he wants including starting world war III. While there is his favorite PR. man William JR. Slander who means well, but everyone he ever promotes ends up killing them selves or being killed by an angry mob, that's why Rockecenter has him promote his enemies. Next there is DR. Phallus who is Rockecenter's Psychiatrist, Chief promoter of Psychiatric birth control, A method that involves turning the populace homosexual to keep the population down. With Rockecenters help Dr. Phallus's dream is becoming a reality. Another two character's are two X-lesbians Candy and Miss Pinch, Who have discovered that psychiatric birth control is a crock and are determined to convert others like them to heterosexuality by way of Black Mailing Soltan Gris into showing them the pleasures of the opposite sex. But Soltans true Nemesis is Teeny a 14 year old nymphomaniac that just can't get enough of him in the worst kind of way, which causes her to blackmail him by taking pictures of them in the act, doctored to look like he is raping her. Last there is my personal favorite Torpedo, who is a hit man that has a thing for his victims. Let me explain in his own words "It began about six years ago when I was in prison undergoing behavior modification therapy. Great stuff. The prison psychologist in organizing the gang rapes was a great guy. I was in consolation with him one day and he said he'd noticed I never joined the rape lines in the showers and he was worried about me. He said how could he modify my behavior to greater criminality if I wouldn't participate in group therapy. He worked and worked on me-the usual treatments: Having me (bleep) him and him (bleeping) him in the (bleep). And that's when he discovered what was really wrong with me. I had never been able to get an erection and even couldn't with him. well he thought and thought and finally he asked me if I had ever (bleeped) a dead person.? Well I had to confess that I never had. So he told me that I had better get a dead one and make sure that the body was fresh and warm. He said that it was just basic psychology, a perfectly normal thing. And he told me how to do it in detail. But there was a hitch, we were in a all male prison and there were no dead women so he stamped my parole card and sent me on my way. What a great guy.". L. Ron Hubard may not write very good self help books. But as far as satire goes he is an absolute genius with one of the sickest minds in history. I urge you if you have a couple extra bucks to spend and the time, pick up this book and be ready to have your mind bombarded with all sorts of sick demented fun for the whole family.
