Mission Earth Volume 5: Fortune of Fear

by L. Ron Hubbard Narrated by Thomas Toner, John Beach, Various

Overview

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.
