Mission Earth

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.

Drugs. Sex. Murder. Taxes. Welcome to planet Earth. They're here. They've arrived. And they're all eyes. The Voltarian scouting party-illegal aliens extraordinaire-on a top-secret expedition led by one Jettero Heller, Royal Officer of the Fleet. His mission: rescue the planet from pollution-and make it safe for the upcoming invasion. His problem: the planet may not want to be saved-and the invasion may just be a trick. One way or another, Heller is about to undertake a journey of discovery-and it's a real trip. From a Middle Eastern mecca of drugs-the key to a scheme to bring down the Voltarian government-to the mean streets of New York, he's finding out what makes this world go round. Between the Mafia wars and the brothel whores, between the ruthless IRS agents and the crazy cab drivers, between the muggings and the weapons of mass destruction, this is one learning curve that's about to turn into a roller-coaster ride. And before it's over, all Heller will break loose . . . in the name of BLACK GENESIS.

Earthlings: Beware! Do you know who your enemies are? Your neighbor? Your boss? Your butcher? Your wife? Only the Voltarians know for sure. They've successfully infiltrated our little world-and it may never be the same. They walk among us. They work among us. And they're making themselves right at home, prepping the planet for a power play unlike any you've ever seen before. In this web of espionage, intrigue and betrayal, even Voltarian Royal Combat Engineer Jettero Heller doesn't know who he can trust. He's hard at work creating a gasoline substitute to fuel his '68 Caddy in a Long Island automobile race-a development that could have dramatic consequences for the entire human race. As such, he poses a grave threat to the powers that be. Now, his treacherous fellow Voltarian, Soltan Gris, has formed a secret alliance with a cabal that includes a dirty DC politician, a ruthless billionaire industrialist and a mysterious media madman. Their mission: terminate Jettero Heller. Beset by double-crossing body doubles and backstabbing identity shifters, Heller discovers that the most dangerous battle of all is about to begin . . . against THE ENEMY WITHIN.

What on Earth are the Voltarians up to now? Fast cars . . . and fast women. Start your engines! Voltarian Royal Officer Jettero Heller is putting the pedal to the metal-and the action is about to shift into high gear. Behind the wheel of his souped-up Caddy, Heller's in a race against time-not to mention against suicide car bombers and accelerator bullets-and the fate of his top-secret mission hangs in the balance. But his greatest challenge is yet to come: a fight to the death high atop the Empire State Building.Meanwhile, Heller's sworn enemy Soltan Gris has his own battles to fight . . . and he's learning that, sometimes, love hurts. Especially in the hands of a couple of sadistic sweethearts named Miss Pinch and Candy-girls who really get under his skin. When all is said and done, his only recourse is plastic surgery. But the operation takes a wicked turn, leaving him with more than he bargained for. Much, much more. Just call him Mr. Big Stuff. People of Earth take note: there is nothing more seductive, more tantalizing or more terrifying than AN ALIEN AFFAIR.

The Voltarian invaders are getting down and dirty . . . in the deadliest of games. The price: Planet Earth. Voltarian Royal Officer Jettero Heller has heart, nerve and a quick mind on his side. His archenemy Soltan Gris has cunning, ruthlessness and a devious plan on his. But what neither of them has is money-and without that they may as well pack up and go back to Voltar. Because as every earthling knows-no pay, no play. Heller's solution is a weekend in Atlantic City, where he puts a new spin on gambling. He's got a foolproof system, guaranteeing that he'll win every bet he makes. Gris, on the other hand, has found an unexpected source of income. His body. Turns out there are certain women, with a very perverse sense of humor, willing to pay to play with him. Into this world of dirty money, dirty tricks and dirty games, the wildest of wild cards is about to change everything. Countess Krak is back-and this voluptuous Voltarian, condemned murderess and love of Heller's life could prove to be the key player in coming to grips with a FORTUNE OF FEAR.

Kinky killers. Exploding speedboats. $2 billion paternity suits. It's love Voltarian-style . . . and planet Earth is feeling the heat. Voltarian Royal Officer Jettero Heller will go to any length to protect his beloved Countess Krak. He'll race up the eastern seaboard pursued by the entire Coast Guard. He'll smash boats, he'll set off bombs, he'll fight off every paternity suit that comes his way. . . . But Apparatus Officer Soltan Gris is just as determined to put the Countess out of commission-for good-and he's found the perfect hit man for the job. Well, almost perfect. This particular Torpedo has one little kink. He takes a bit of an unhealthy interest in his victims . . . after he kills them. And as if Gris didn't have enough on his plate, wedding bells are ringing. The Voltarian stud is about to tie the knot-with two women! Yes, love is a battlefield. But in this warped war of twisted desires, perverse passions and unholy alliances-the entire Mission Earth enterprise could soon morph into a truly decadent DEATH QUEST.

The end is near! The Voltarian terrorists have won! Earth is history! But don't believe everything you read. Or hear. Or see. Because the road to victory is paved with bad intentions-and lies, betrayal and deception are all in play. So who are the players in this treacherous game . . . ? Countess Krak: victim of a spectacular kidnapping, she is bound for a distant dungeon where she faces a venomous fate. . . . Royal Officer Jettero Heller: convinced the Countess is dead and overcome by grief, he is holed up in a Connecticut roadhouse-and standing square in an assassin's crosshairs. . . . Soltan Gris: together with a young temptress named Teenie Whopper, he undertakes a drug-fueled voyage across the Atlantic. But the journey's about to be cut short, as he goes from getting stoned with Teenie to nearly getting stoned to death in Turkey. . . .So who is in command? Who is the puppet master pulling the strings? And, finally, is there any hope for planet Earth? The answers lie at the end of an extraordinary VOYAGE OF VENGEANCE.

Who is the true master of disaster? Earthlings: prepare for the shock of your lives! Global warming . . . reversed. The energy crisis . . . over. The greatest problem on Earth . . . solved. Voltarian Royal Officer of the Fleet, Jettero Heller, has it all figured out. And he's devised a daring and ingenious plan to make it all happen . . . if he lives to see the day. Saving the world is never easy, and for Heller, it turns out to be a tricky-and risky-business. He'll have to blast a gang of space pirates in a lethal laser firefight. He'll have to find a way to capture and control a black hole. He'll have to undertake a perilous journey to Saturn and back and transport a titanic chunk of ice across the solar system. Then comes the hard part . . . because Heller is headed back to Voltar, where he's about to uncover the identity of the powerful figure behind the conspiracy to end all conspiracies. He's facing his deadliest nemesis yet, and before the intergalactic battle is over, the entire mission could end in DISASTER.

Earth is rising in the House of Voltar . . . And there'll be hell to pay! That's right. The invasion is on . . . and it's coming soon to a galaxy near you. The action couldn't be hotter, and the plot couldn't be more diabolical. Earth is coming to Voltar-and the Voltarians won't know what hit them. Murder, blackmail, drugs, psychoanalysis, PR firms, sex-crazed teenyboppers, riots in the streets, women in chains. These are the powerful secret weapons of war-perfected on Earth and imported to Voltar-which are now being exploited by the ruthless Lombar Hisst, chief of the Coordinated Information Apparatus (the infamous CIA). His obsession: total domination of the Voltarian Confederacy. Can anyone stop the madness? Does anyone have the courage and charisma to crash this party? Enter Royal Officer of the Fleet, Jettero Heller. Dodging Death Battalions and death warrants, he's racing from Earth to face the challenge. But Hisst has taken Heller's beautiful sister hostage, and she may be the one who has to pay the ultimate price of VILLAINY VICTORIOUS.

Fasten your seatbelts. Mission Earth is approaching climax . . . And it will rock your world! Who will control Voltar? What is Earth's ultimate fate? And what is the big mystery? The wait is over. Powerful forces are on the move. Entire planets hang in the balance. The moment of truth is finally at hand-and it's a real blast! In the middle of it all stands Royal Officer of the Fleet, Jettero Heller, a man determined to save both Voltar and Earth from extinction. Together with an outlaw emperor and an army one hundred thousand strong, Heller lays siege to Palace City, which has fallen into the depraved and diabolical hands of Lombar Hisst. But the success of Heller's great adventure is far from a sure thing. For in order to achieve victory, he will not only have to break the laws of Voltar-but defy the laws of physics. Here is your ticket to travel beyond the boundaries of space and time. Experience the unfolding mysteries, the violent pleasures and the biting, inescapable truths you can only find in the final reckoning of THE DOOMED PLANET.
