Battlefield Earth by Elrond Hubbard
Church of Scientology bought 50,000 copies of the book at launch and also poured millions into a PR campaign aimed at making it go viral. Battlefield Earth was just the prelude to Mission Earth - a 1.2 million word epic Hubbard intended to release in 10 parts. The church steadfastly rejected the idea that Elrond Hubbard had died with psychiatric medicine in his system. They claimed that he took the medication as an anti-histamine, which sure guys, absolutely. His butt gets famously congested. Inquest found bandage on his right butt sheet covering 10 fresh needle marks. It also found traces of hydroxene in his blood.
