Autoren-Profil
L. Ron Hubbard (1911-1986) was an American author and the founder of the Church of Scientology, whose life and work continue to spark both admiration and controversy.

This eclectic background fueled his prolific writing career, spanning genres from science fiction and fantasy to self-help and religious texts.Hubbard's literary contributions are vast, with over 1,000 published works, including short stories, novels, and essays. His science fiction works, particularly those published in the pulp magazines of the 1930s and 1940s, have left a lasting impact on the genre, influencing contemporary writers with their imaginative scope and narrative daring.
