The Invaders Plan

An alien mission to stop Earth from destroying itself sets in motion a far larger conspiracy to seize an interstellar empire.

As the invaders plan Mission Earth, rival factions within the Voltar Confederacy pursue conflicting agendas—one to preserve Earth until its scheduled invasion, the other to exploit the mission in a ruthless bid for power.

Earth is scheduled for a Voltarian invasion. But if humanity continues polluting the planet and moves ever closer to thermonuclear war, there may be nothing left to invade.

Fleet combat engineer Jettero Heller has been selected for the mission to stop Earth from destroying itself. Intelligence operative Soltan Gris has been assigned to Mission Earth as well—but his orders are very different.

There’s just one more complication: Gris is the one telling the story. And he’s a villain determined to explain why none of it is really his fault.

Every calculated delay, every political maneuver and every elaborate scheme draws Gris deeper into a deadly game of manipulation and survival.

Originally conceived as one continuous epic, Mission Earth unfolds across ten interconnected volumes, each building on the last as the conspiracy deepens and the stakes continue to grow.

Unlike conventional alien invasion stories, The Invaders Plan turns the familiar premise inside out—putting the aliens at the center of the story and viewing Earth from the invaders’ side. Blending science fiction with espionage, political intrigue and a streak of dark humor, L. Ron Hubbard creates an unforgettable adventure that constantly overturns expectations.

Filled with unforgettable characters and ever-escalating schemes, the story grows bigger, bolder and more unpredictable with every chapter.

If you enjoy science fiction that refuses to follow the rules, Mission Earth delivers a reading experience unlike anything else in the genre.

The Invaders Plan is the opening volume of L. Ron Hubbard’s ten-volume Mission Earth dekology.
