L Ron Hubbard was a writer of science fiction and an inventor of fictional worlds. He also founded Scientology. Helping Russell decide whether Hubbard himself was a champion or a charlatan are disciples Stephen Bailey, Hasan Al Habib and Lindsey Kane, asking important questions like: does Buffy count as sci-fi? Should doctors be hot? And can you be fired from a job for incompetent licking?
