Yeah, I'm glad you didn't give anything away.

Mission Earth, fortunatly, doesn't have anything to do with Scientology as far as I can tell. It is a series of 10 books, a dekology, according to the publisher. It's the story of an alien race set out to capture, conquer Earth as told by the alien villian in the novel. He is a member of the Coordinated Information Apparatus (CIA). His story is more of a confession during the first eight books, then the story picks up in real time after that. The book is satire. It is a very easy read and the most wonderful part of the story is that when I was done, I was satisfied. There were no loose ends. None. All questions answered, no room for sequel.

The thing I always got a kick from was that every book begins with a translator's preface (because it is translated from Voltarian to English) stating that there is no such planet and Earth and that this story is from the mind of a mad man and not to believe a word of it.

Read some reviews; good and bad. Book should probably have an NC-17 rating for drugs and sex. It's been 15-20 years since I've read the books. Maybe my memory is tainted, but at the time, I thought they were great books.

EXCERPT:
Book Description
From Lord Invay, Royal Historian, Chairman, Board of Censors, Royal Palace, Voltar Confederacy:
"Let me state it boldly and baldly: there is no such planet as 'Earth.'

"If it ever existed at all, it certainly does not exist today or even within living memory.

"So, away with this delusion.

"On the authority of every highly placed official in the land I can assure you utterly and finally, THERE IS NO PLANET EARTH! And that is final!"

With this emphatic disclaimer, we are introduced to MISSION EARTH, an epic told entirely and uniquely by the aliens that already walk among us. Earth is to be invaded and a Royal combat engineer must cross 22 light years to secretly infiltrate the planet. He is also crossing a scheme to use the resources of Earth's most powerful figure to overthrow the confederacy.

With a convicted murderess who trains giant cat-like animals, a doctor who creates human biological freaks, a madman who controls Voltar's secret police, and clandestine Earth base in Turkey, a bizarre stage is set and narrated by an alien killer assigned to sabotage the mission and Earth - the planet that doesn't exist.
