Final Blackout
''Final Blackout'' is a dystopic science fiction novel by author L. Ron Hubbard. The novel is set in the future and follows a man known as "the Lieutenant" as he restores order to England after a world war. First published in serialized format in 1940 in the science fiction magazine ''Astounding Science Fiction'', ''Final Blackout'' was published in book form in 1948 by The Hadley Publishing Co.. Author Services Inc. published a hardcover edition of the book in 1988, and in 1989 the Church of Scientology-affiliated organization Bridge Publications said that a film director named Christopher Cain had signed a contract to write and direct a movie version based on the book.
The novel was generally well received by literature critics, and is seen as an early classic of the Golden Age of Science Fiction. It has received positive mention in the ''Chicago Sun-Times'' and the ''Daily News of Los Angeles'', and has been used in a science-fiction writing class at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona.
==Publication history==
The story appeared in print in a 3-part serialized format, beginning with the April 1940 issue of ''Astounding Science Fiction''. ''Final Blackout'' was first published in book form in 1948 by The Hadley Publishing Co. in an edition of 1,000 copies and with a new preface by Hubbard. The book was re-released in a hardcover format in 1988 by the Church of Spiritual Technology subsidiary company Author Services Inc.
In 1989, ''Young Guns'' film director Christopher Cain optioned the rights to ''Final Blackout'' and developed a script for a possible film-version of the book. The film was not made. According to the Church of Scientology company Bridge Publications, Cain signed a contract to write a screenplay based on the book and to direct the film. "The book is massive in scope and transcends time. It's a powerful look at the idiocy and futility of war. I look forward to making 'Final Blackout' into a major movie," said Cain in a press release put out by Bridge Publications.〔 An audiobook was released by Bridge Publications in 1991 and read by ''Planet of the Apes'' actor Roddy McDowall, who also voiced audiobook versions of Hubbard's novels ''Battlefield Earth'' and ''Fear''.
