Battlefield Earth was a good book - heck, they made a movie of it in the last year. I admit, Mission Earth and Ole Doc Methuselah (the only other Hubbard books I've read) are a bit weird, but since I care (and know) less about Dianetics and Scientology than I know about aboreal wood lice, I read them.
