I read all of Mission Earth. All 12(?) volumes. I couldn't possibly say why - I hated it.
I would love to hear more about this. Those books are SO long
Well, I think I figured out by book nine that it was never going to get any better, but by that point there were only three books to go and they weren't exactly difficult reads. Maybe I was hate-reading. "Will you continue failing to meet my expectations L. Ron Hubbard, you miserable cunt? I bet you will."
And I have a tendency to think that any satire is brilliant and biting and I'm just not worldly enough to get it.
