An Alien Affair (Mission Earth) [Paperback]

L. Ron Hubbard (Author)

Book Description

Series: Mission Earth | Publication Date: April 1, 1989

Hammer Malone and Killer Brag had extricated their cars.

As one, with a crash of gears, they launched their vehicles after Heller.

Two explosions in the tangled mass of cars behind them. I knew it would be the fuel tanks going up.

Flames shot into the air!

The other drivers were running away.

But the cars of Hammer Malone and Killer Brag bore down on Heller!

He turned to face them.

Narrated by the killer who traveled 22 light years to seal the fate of Earth, AN ALIEN AFFAIR races non-stop from a deadly Long Island speedway to an extraterrestrial's secret base in Turkey, from a battle on the observation platform at the top of the Empire State Building to the pleasures in the basement appartment of hte sadistic Miss Pinch.

The aliens are here. A calico cat, a jar of mustard and a host of credit card companies may well determine the success of their mission.

I have read some of these reviews and some of these people seem to be forgetting how long ago this series was written.
In any case, these weren't books. This wasn't a series. L. Ron Hubbard's whole point in life was to save humanity from itself. This series was a message from a very concerned being; stop destroying Earth!

This review is from: An Alien Affair (Mission Earth) (Paperback)

I am not a scientologist and I still think this series was great...despite what some reviewers would like you to believe. The story is told from the perspective of an alien. This makes his interpretations of observations from Earth (like Bugs Bunny the philosopher) hillarious. If you do not have the imagination to place yourself in the characters perspective, then you might not like the story...but if you have an ounce of reading skill, you will love this story.
