Please don't be turned off by Scientology, because this book contains none of it. This is a huge, epic, sci-fi masterpiece.

Set in the future on our very own planet, this story involves whole universes full of diverse alien life, some of which have taken over our planet. The story is about a solitary, primitive human, who will overcome great odds to free humanity and the rest of the universes from the evil clutches of an alien overlord race.

This book contains not only action and bravado, but also probes the aftermath of revolt including economics, foreign policy, manufacturing, banking and integrating cultural diversity. A really great book with tons of imagination, ingenuity and lovable characters.
