Is any of L Ron Hubba-Bubba's books any good?
i have no interests in the Scientology nonsense, but i do love me some good Science-fiction and Fantasy story. and seeing how an entire religion became built around it, I would like to know the stories are good or just the ravings of a mentally disturb man who liked little boys a little too much
I think most of the modern ones, Battlefield Earth and later, are ghost written for the CoS.
That said, I liked most of BE and the first few books of the Invaders Plan. Nothing astounding, but I remember it being decent old school scifi
Leave it to millionaire Hollywood actors

L Ron's got plenty of sins, anon, but you haven't really done your research. Read Dianetics

that suggestion sounds a bit suspicious

I read all 10 tomes of invaders plan as a 11 year old. Even then the extended sex scenes were cringey as fuck, be prepared for pulp and lots of overuse of exclamation points. I dont recall any pedo shit.
what books did he write

most of his work has nothing to do with CoS, in fact, I think scientology hurt his reputation as an early master of dumb-fun pulp. Battlefield Earth is best after reading some 1930s scifi. he lifts lots of storytelling devices from his early peers and even dedicates the book to them, it pays homage to early scifi lazy writing and all. Also "Type writer in the sky" is his most influential work. P.S. "Fear" is not scifi but also legit

Don't even bother, OP. They're trash that's thinly-veiled for scientologist beliefs. If you're not interested in joining, you won't like them. They won't even offer insight into the organisation or history.
It's blatant propaganda under the disguise of piss-poor pulp sci-fi. Just go back to Gene Wolfe if you want good sci-fi with religious subtext.
