DISASTER: Vol. VIII of Mission Earth

Listen carefully and you may hear the screams of a despairing reviewer. "" 'For the love of God, Montresor!' Not another L. Ron Hubbard!"" Yes, avid fans, here's Chunk Eight of Hubbard's maximum opus. You will be relieved to learn that, despite the evil machinations of Apparatus leg-man Soltan Gris, neither hero Jettero Heller nor his lover, the Countess Krak, is actually dead--but then, you didn't really think they were, did you? No, sir. Elsewhere, the good news is that Chunk Eight is somewhat shorter than its predecessors; the better news is that there are only two Chunks still to come. Business as usual at Hubbard Industries.
