1 series 12 books in order 2 standalone books

Lafayette Ronald "L. Ron" Hubbard was an American science fiction author who created a self-help system called Dianetics, first published in 1950. Over the next three decades, he expanded these ideas into a comprehensive set of doctrines and rituals, forming the basis of a new religious movement known as Scientology. His writings became the foundational texts for the Church of Scientology and related organizations that address areas such as business, literacy, and drug rehabilitation. Hubbard was a controversial figure, with many aspects of his life and achievements disputed. Official Scientology sources portray him as a highly accomplished individual with significant contributions across multiple fields, while critics, including former Scientologists and independent researchers, challenge these accounts and offer negative assessments of his work and character.
