In the first three decades of Scientology there were few books written by others than L. Ron Hubbard. It tended to be frowned upon and at a certain point what was called Issue Authority (official church approval) became required before publishing a Scientology book officially (and the book had to be under the copyright of L.Ron Hubbard). Things change radically after the great Exodus/Split in the early 80s. L.Kin was remarkable both because he was anonymous and because he issued a series of four books, which he announced beforehand. In addition it coincided with the beginning of the Internet, so communication1. the consideration and action of impelling an impulse or particle from source point across a distance to receipt point with the intention of bringing into being at the receipt point a duplication and understanding of that which emanated from the source point. (HCOB 5 Apr 73)...more amongst a worldwide community of "escapees" was much better than previously and many of them were very curious!.

L Kin Volume 3 – The Pied Pipers of Heaven: Who calls the tune
