Summary: Brilliant!
Comment: In 'Villiany Victorious' which is Volume 9 of Hubbard's Magnificent 'Mission Earth' Dekology, the story returns to the planet Voltar after a dramatic departure from Earth. Criminal Soltan Gris is neutralized, but his psychotic boss 'Lombar Hisst' is back on Voltar running out of control attepting to seize the control of the Voltar confederacy. He sends a Death Battalian to Earth and they are turned to molten glass in an awesome confrontation. Lunatic PR agent J. Walter Madison is unleashed on Voltar to corrupt the culture under the arm of the Apparatus, while Soltan Gris awaits prosecution for his crimes on Earth and begins to write his confessional which is the first 8 Volumes of this series. Soltan Gris becomes the target of Madison's slur campaign in a wild turn of events, and the government of Voltar is in unheaval opening the door for the true villian of the entire series, Lombar Hisst to take contol! The only one in his way is Jettero Heller, who knows both sides of the situation. This book is explosive in content, and is built entirely on the previous 8 volumes of this story. The mastery of Hubbard really shines as all the parts of this Dekology start to come together in a new light, and the reader sees a unique dichotomy of two cultures: Earth and Voltar, and the plus and minus points of each. I truly found this book to be facinating and filled with exciting adventure as the other volumes, but the tale climbs to a whole new level that can only be arrived at by having read the preceding ones. You finally see what Hubbard was doing here with this Dekology, and why it took ten volumes to truly convey and express the story to the reader. This whole series is brilliant , and among the best I have ever read! It combines a satirical look at our own culture, as well as another unique satircal look at a supposed 'utopian' culture, and you see the flaws of each in this comparison. 'Villian Victorious' is a true blend of great Science Fiction and humor. You will truly enjoy this one, I am sure. It is worth the journey.

Summary: Terrible!
Comment: This guy really can't write. I've heard so much about Hubbard, so I picked this book up on a whim. It's the worst-written sci-fi book I've ever tried to read. The dialogue is incredibly artificial and the plot is pretty thin. I only managed to get a couple of chapters in. Don't bother.

Summary: Funny, Witty, Satirical Psi-Fi
Comment: I loved all of these stories. The tapes make great car entertainment. Hubbard has a fantastic sense of humor, witty & intelligent and often edgy. Definitely way ahead of his time - meaining that you'd never expect a traditional psi-fi writer Hubbard's age at the time to write something this racy and "with-it"! A winner!
