zemekis_ Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 When I was about 10, the little 5 and 10 around the corner was going out of business. The whole place was, at it's peak, 90% off. So I went around with ten bucks and picked up all kinda of books, breath spray, candy bars, cheap card protectors, and what have you. Anyways, one of those books was Mission Earth volume 2 and another was #3. I flipped through them and was totally amused (as well as confused) at the main character, Gris. This series was really great for me, because I consume books like a plague of locusts in a corn field. Anways, I didn't know if anybody else got to reading the Elron stuff. I think this series would be a great anime or manga. Anybody else? And yes, I know all about sociology and what have you. Don't even bother.

zemekis_ Posted March 28, 2003 Author Share Posted March 28, 2003 oh, such a forum exists? Whoops. Anyways, I thought my, in retrospect, aimless, post would spark this great debate of the greatness (or lack thereof) of the series. I thought it would also give me a chance to whip out some of my knowledge about the series and get some more. I guess the only thing that came close to an actual statement in my last post was that the main character, Gris, was the man. I thought he was the greatest anti-hero ever. Better?

Vegitto4 Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 Ahhhh. Well, I have actually never heard of the series. Is is a comic? or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zemekis_ Posted March 28, 2003 Author Share Posted March 28, 2003 it's a humongous 10 novel long sci-fi series. it was written by L.Ron Hubbard, of battlefield earth fame. it's a lot better than BE, but due to the lengh of the series, some parts do kinda feel like filler. There's many adult subjects, such as the main character gettting an "enhancement" from a crazy genetic doctor. Definately worth a look-see if you read like crazy. it's on amazon.
