L Ron Hubbard's pulp fiction is genuinely good, top tier even. how long until people realize?

I have no idea.
"Mission Earth" was a single story spread out over 10 volumes, and not once did it lag. I've read it twice now.
His short stories were amazing, too. I really need to track down a copy of "Lives You Wished to Lead But Never Dared".

Battlefield Earth was kind of okay but deeply stupid in places if you actually think about it.
Mission Earth couldn't keep its continuity straight even from one book to the next, every antagonist was far too incompetent to ever take seriously as a threat, and the constant political satire quickly became grating.
Ole Doc Methuselah was pretty good, I'll give him that. The protagonist felt a bit derivative of Heinlein's Lazarus Long character but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt since I think he wrote it contemporaneously with Heinlein.
