Description

Earth does not exist. . . . Or so they want you to believe. Who are they? What do they want? And who do they think they are? They are the Voltarians of Voltar—an empire 110 planets strong.

They are already among us. And the invasion is about to begin . . . in a hundred years or so. Or is it? The truth is far more sinister. Undercover, underground and out of sight, the invaders plan what may in fact be a massive diversion. In the darkest recesses of Voltar’s Coordinated Information Apparatus (otherwise known as the CIA), a tyrant of terror sets out to exploit the invasion in order to seize power. All that stands in his way is a planet that doesn’t exist.

Discover a world where corporations rule and political corruption is rife. Where governments are driven by oil and controlled by drugs. Where global warming is getting hotter by the minute . . . and a scorching love affair could determine the fate of millions. Where a cosmic conspiracy is about to hit home and the intergalactic intrigue knows no bounds.

They call it Blito-P3. We call it Earth.

You can’t afford to look the other way. 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

“You will lose sleep. You will miss appointments. If you don’t force yourself to set it down and talk to your family from time to time, you may be looking for a new place to live. Reading The Invaders Plan is simply the most fun you can have by yourself.” —Orson Scott Card

  • Strangely Accurate Satirical Prophecy

    The author’s clearly satire take to the nature of society if viewed from the lens of a sci-fiesque, intergalactic affair, making real-life issues easily digested and laughed at just enough to begin to wonder if one should do something to stop the social madness. A refreshing mix of stereotypical heroism with romance and comedy, clearly done from the writer spite of the unnecessary social problems that exist today. It has the wit of George Carlin but manages to keep it PG-13. I liked it.

    Absolute garbage.
  • He was a decent pulp writer but bit off more than he could chew with science fiction.

    I’ve read some of his pulp westerns, mysteries, etc. Fast, cheap, and forgettable reads. Read real science fiction.

    I love Hubbard's fiction, his early work in the '30s through to this his last work in 1985. TEN VOLUMES long, it's still a real page-turner of a story! This is a work of satire, and he discusses the genre in the author's introduction. Very enlightening! The story is also uniquely told, not only in the first person, but this "person" is the main antagonist in the story! Lots of action and suspense. Lots of beauty as well as frightening darkness. Lots of cutting humor when the bad guys get their just deserts. What's also fascinating is how relevant so much of the story content is yet today almost thirty years later!
