I was listening to Sirius Book Radio and it seems they are running a program for the next few weeks called "Tales From The Golden Age" from 11:00 AM EST - 2:00 PM EST which showcases Hubbard's science fiction prior to Scientology.
They happened to broadcast Hubbard's first pulp fiction short story "The Dangerous Dimension" which he originally wrote for Astounding Science Fiction in 1938. It was the standard mediocre writing you'd expect from Hubbard not too painful, but not anything you'd ever go back to. It probably would have been better if the audio presentation was so over the top dramatic. After listening to it I can see where "the almost getting hit by a freight train on Venus", and "walking in the Van Allen Belt" along with the other outdated science fiction exteriorization implants Hubbard incorporated into Scientology began. I guess "Tales From The Golden Age" is another way of saying "The Roots of Scientology"
