Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

The first seven volumes of Hubbard's "Mission Earth" novel series were devoted mainly to the drawn-out farcial adventures of alien spies among comic oil barons, mafiosi, PR men, etc. This time things finally happen with a bang: hero Jettero Heller harnesses a black hole to provide cheap, pollution-free energy for Earth and accidentally wipes out western Russia. Then Heller and his love, Countess Krak, bring their evil nemesis, Soltan Gris, back to Voltar, their home planet. But dirty politics there has made the Emperor a drug addict and put power in the hands of nefarious, paranoid Lombar Hisst, so Heller and the Countess return to Earth, where more cliffhangers await. Even as a re-creation of the freewheeling pulp fiction of earlier times, this futuristic thriller is heavyhanded and unsuccessful. Literary Guild alternates.

Hubbard's spellbinding, earth-shattering series continues with the most startling entry yet. In Disaster, Jettero Heller, the Countess Krak, and their evil spy master draw their insidious net even more tightly around the Earth. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not my favorite volume so far, but stil compelling!, Jan 14 2002

By	Elisa "HipMom" (NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Disaster (Mass Market Paperback)

In this book, it really seems like the story is coming to an end, instead here's still so much to read!!! Gris, the bad guy, who has been narrating so far, is now now longer in the right position to keep narrating, nor does he know certain aspects of how the story develops, so the writer, very surprisingly, switches narrator! It's hard to get accustomed to a new one, after having read 7 and half book narrated by Soltan Gris, with his dark humor and so on, this narrator is completely different... but I don't want to spoil the surprise. Let's just say that this narrator, thought in a different way and with a different writing style, can still tell you what happened! and keep you glued to the book! I cannot wait to get the next 2 volumes in the mail!

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally Gris is toast!, Jun 25 2000

By	Michael Delaware (Battle Creek, Michigan USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Disaster (Mass Market Paperback)

In this book, the assasin Apparatus agent Soltan Gris gets what he deserves! The action in this one makes for a fast read. It is by far the fastest moving book in the series. The hero Jettero Heller is under fire, and caught in a dangerous death plummet from a high-rise office building in Manhatten. The New York Mafia are under aerial assault. The United States is about to declare war. The world's oil supply is declared radioactive and owned by an alien! At the same time there is now a black hole now in orbit around the Earth and a mountain of ice is plunging toward Earth! This book 8 of the Mission Earth Series is non-stop! It takes off and keeps rocketing! I loved this one the best of all to this point in the series, because finally things start to go better for Heller and horrible for the villian Soltan Gris. If you read to this point in the series you will be delighted with the outcome of this one, and the mystery of the next two novels will compel you to read on! I found this one to be a lot of good classic action!

This review is from: Disaster (Mass Market Paperback)

I loved all of these stories. I could not stop once I started them. The pacing is great. The satire is great. Hubbard has a fantastic and witty sense of humor. These stories also really they get you thinking. Love them all.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hubbard...or not?
Halfway through volume 8, 'Disaster', the narrator of the previous 7 1/2 volumes, Gris, finishes his story. Why does Mission Earth continue for another 2 1/2 books? Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite sci-fi books, and I've read a LOT!
The 10 volume Mission Earth series ranks as one of my favorite sci-fi stories. Reading Hubbard's books really taught me what a "page-turner" was. Read more
