Final Blackout

De: L. Ron Hubbard

Narrado por: Roddy McDowall, Bruce Boxleitner

A land ravaged by war without end. Cities gutted by weapons of mass destruction. Countries laid waste by biological warfare. Governments ruined by greed, violence, and corruption.

This is a world in the throes of economic decay and at the mercy of terrorists. This is Asia. This is Europe. This is America. This is Final Blackout.

Across this devastated, post-apocalyptic landscape marches one extraordinary soldier and his band of brothers. He is the Lieutenant, a hardened military strategist and a charismatic leader of men. The narrow-minded high command may have relieved the Lieutenant of duty, but not of his honor - and his crack unit of warriors remains fiercely loyal to him.

Now, in a time of deception, desperation, and betrayal, they are headed into the ultimate battle against the ultimate enemy - their own treacherous leaders. But for the Lieutenant, a hero at the crossroads of history, it is time to do what is best for his country and for his men - to undertake one last act of courage and sacrifice...the Final Blackout.

"As perfect a piece of science fiction as has ever been written." (Robert A. Heinlein)

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Final Blackout is generally considered Hubbard's best science-fiction novel." (Publishers Weekly)

Abridged

I have read the book many times. I would have liked a warning that this was an abridged version of the book.

A Fair Read

Probably more profound when it was first published. Not earth shaking something to read when waiting at an airport and want to pass time.

A powerful story well told.

Darkly prophetic, this is one of those books that you hope never comes to pass.

Honor The Way It Used to be

A fantastic story about honor courage and sacrifice in the face of corrupt governments and their pawns. Refreshing in today's world.

Excellent story!

This is honestly one of the top short stories I have read. I have read it several times over the years and it just keeps getting better. This is truly a quality piece of literature for a man of any age, and women too!
