@Marek: Is L. Ron Hubbard seriously one of your favourite sci-fi authors? I thought he only made one book, namely Battlefield Earth, which sucks so badly, it made me want to kill myself. I might be wrong , though, maybe he's made other books, some of which are better than BE.

L. Ron Hubbard also wrote a decology called Mission Earth.
Brilliantly funny and a great sci-fi adventure.
I bought and read the first 9 books, but could never manage to find the tenth one so I never read the last one...
I thought Battlefield Earth was Excellent, I thought the movie was a washout...
I found the second half of the book more mesmerising than the first half. and the second half of the book is what they left out of the movie.
I am not so sure if it was the writing style of the book so much as the setting, I love any story that deals with a sort of post apocolyptic world and how the survivors put back together the pieces.
The Sci Fi factor puts an interesting twist and makes a change from the Stand or somesuch...
