NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES: MISSION EARTH
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.

And the invasion is about to begin…. Or is it? The truth is far more sinister. It’s the end of the world as you know it … and the beginning of one of the most spectacular, thought-provoking and wildly inventive works of science fiction and espionage of our time.

SCREENPLAYS TO NOVELS
Among L. Ron Hubbard’s final works were two original screenplays (see below), from the early 1980s, designed to be full-length feature films. Hubbard suggested that they be adapted into novels by other writers, thereby providing them the unique opportunity of co-authorship.
AI! PEDRITO!
It has been said that somewhere in the world you have an exact double. This rocket-ride of a novel ignites with the sudden cry of “Ai! Pedrito!” as Naval Lieutenant Tom Smith look-alike is the notorious South American revolutionary and spy, Pedrito Miraflores. Inspired by a real incident in the life of L. Ron Hubbard, this action‑packed adventure novel runs the gamut of mistaken identities, daring espionage and what can happen when intelligence really does go wrong!

SPACE JAZZ MUSIC ALBUM
Battlefield Earth also served as the inspiration for the first-ever musical soundtrack to a book. Entitled Space Jazz, reflecting the mood of a futuristic Earth grown primitive following an alien assault, the album offers thirteen compositions from L. Ron Hubbard based upon significant events and characters from the novel.
MISSION EARTH ALBUM
The Mission Earth album with compositions and lyrics from L. Ron Hubbard was produced with blues-rock musician Edgar Winter. The lyrics are intrinsic to the story itself and many were included within the prose. Mission Earth, the album, was legitimately at the time of release the most potent musical statement for environmental reform. Its environmental anthem, “Cry Out,” was not only adopted by Friends of the United Nations in the name of ecological reform, but became the rallying cry for a worldwide Earth Day celebration. All profits from the song were donated for the print of the Personal Action Guide for the Earth booklet on behalf of the United Nations Environment Programme.
