2.0�toiles sur 5 Disappointing..., Ao� 16 2001

Par	Steven Dennis (Reston, VA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Doomed Planet (Mass Market Paperback)

I got sucked into the Mission Earth series after reading the spectacular "Battlefield Earth" (the best pulp scifi novel ever). Unfortunately, after buying in hardback all 10 of these bloated episodes, hoping that they would lead to a great ending, I was sorely disappointed.

While the stories do have some of Hubbard's humor and some interesting satire, they don't have the cohesion, pacing or the characters of Battlefield Earth. It's not worth your time.

This review is from: Doomed Planet (Mass Market Paperback)

The final volume of the Mission Earth Dekology 'The Doomed Planet' is by far my favorite overall in this series. Hubbard takes the reader to a new height with a crescendo of action and intrigue. In this final novel we find the villian Lombar Hisst, the madman behind the entire Earth mission, ascending the throne of the Voltar empire after using drugs and other Earth vices on the Emperor and Lords of the confederacy. Meanwhile Heller becomes a fugitive and joins the exiled Prince Mortiiy's rebel army to engage in an invasion to overthrow Hisst out of Palace City. Meanwhile J. Walter Madison, the unleashed PR agent is trying to bring the house of cards down on Earth and bring about a full scale invasion by the Conderacy! This book is incredibly exciting as it brings to a glorious end all the tales within tales of this this great 10 volume series. Hubbard leaves no stone unturned as he brings the series to it's ultimate conclusion with the Apparatus (a Voltar type Covert operations organization) on the run facing extiction. The order starts to go into the society as the right criminals are prosecuted and jailed. The action throughout this book is in keeping with the excitement of the whole series. I found myself turning page after page on this final volume, staying up long hours at night reading, reading, reading, not wanting to miss a beat. The whole series is exceptionally wonderful as Hubbard makes simple, yet satirical observations on our own society and calls attention to our own absurdities in the world we live. He shows you Earth from different angles with humor and adventure all wrapped up in a fast-paced suspense. I found this wholes series to be riveting, but this final book to be extraordinarily captivating as the author brings all the roads of adventure he mapped in the ten part string of novels to an ultimate climax. I cannot say enough about this book and the entire Dekalogy, except that it is a giant amongst giants in Science Fiction. You will love the entire series! Volume 10 'The Doomed Planet' is a great book, and rides high on my list of ultimate favorites! I highly recommend you take time for this ten step journey. It's truly worth it.
