Audiobook edition (Unabridged)

Kinky killers.

Exploding speedboats.

$2 billion paternity suits.

It’s love Voltarian-style … and planet Earth is feeling the heat.

Voltarian Royal Officer Jettero Heller will go to any length to protect his beloved Countess Krak. He’ll race up the eastern seaboard pursued by the entire Coast Guard. He’ll smash boats, he’ll set off bombs, he’ll fight off every paternity suit that comes his way.…

But Apparatus Officer Soltan Gris is just as determined to put the Countess out of commission—for good—and he’s found the perfect hit man for the job. Well, almost perfect. This particular Torpedo has one little kink. He takes a bit of an unhealthy interest in his victims … after he kills them.

And as if Gris didn’t have enough on his plate, wedding bells are ringing. The Voltarian stud is about to tie the knot—with two women!

Yes, love is a battlefield. But in this warped war of twisted desires, perverse passions, and unholy alliances—the entire Mission Earth enterprise could soon morph into a truly decadent Death Quest.

Full-cast production.

“The hilarious adventure parts the curtain on the ‘secret’ games of the underworld, the CIA, psychiatry, as well as other well-established agencies, organizations, and sacred cows.” —Columbus Dispatch

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

L. Ron Hubbard not only broke all the rules but blazed a new literary path when, in August 1981, after less than eight months of writing, he completed the monumental 1.2 million-word bestselling saga Mission Earth. Working with exceptional speed, discipline, and skill, he produced a remarkable interweaving of deftly plotted action, adventure, intrigue, and espionage, all seasoned with scathing social satire.

“He breaks all the rules.… The old master has created a new genre and a veritable blockbuster … and moves the art of science fiction into a new realm of entertainment as well as education.” —The Herald
