Mission Earth is a ten-volume science fiction novel series by L. Ron Hubbard. Hubbard died three months after the publication of volume 1, and other volumes were published posthumously.
The series's initial publisher, Bridge Publications, coined the word dekalogy, meaning "a series of ten books", to describe and promote the novel. Made up of about 1.2 million words, the epic is a "satirical science fiction focusing on a preemptive invasion of Earth by an advanced alien civilization known as the Voltar Confederacy". Each volume in the series topped numerous bestseller lists. The second volume, Black Genesis, was nominated for the 1987 Hugo Award in the Best Novel category. It lost to Speaker for the Dead.
