Acerca de esta escucha

As seen on the Emmy Award-winning TV show - Leah Remini - Scientology & the Aftermath

Nominated by Foreword Magazine as 2009 Book of the Year Award Finalist

Marc Headley provides an insider's view of life as a member of Scientology's "Sea Organization". Marc worked at Scientology's secret desert compound, which houses all Scientology management, for 15 years. The 500-acre property is located deep in the California desert. The local townspeople were told lectures and films were made there. But is that all that was happening? It is the location of a multi-million-dollar home for L. Ron Hubbard, built two decades after his death. It is the home of Scientology's current leader, David Miscavige.

So what really happens at the Int Base? Are the stories on the Internet true? How does Scientology conduct management of its day-to-day operations? Could stories of armed guards, weapons, staff beatings, and razor-wire fences be true? If so, how could a facility like this exist in modern-day America?

Hundreds of staff tried to escape over the years. Some succeeded but were never seen or heard of again; most failed. Why were people kept here? What really went on at the headquarters of Scientology? This is the story of what happened behind the Iron Curtain of Scientology.

"...the Scientology cult, is I guarantee you, a thousand times more bizarre than you could have ever imagined." (The John & Ken Show, KFI AM 640)

"Headley's book also provides stunning material that has rarely been collected in one place...a damning account of life working for Scientology leader David Miscavige at the secretive desert base...." (Tony Ortega, The Village Voice)

"Marc Headley, a former insider at the church, has written a tell-all book, called Blown for Good, about his 15 years of work with Scientology. And folks...you can't handle the truth...." (The Frisky)

Marc is a great storyteller!

The way Marc told his story pulled me in from the very beginning. I laughed and cried. Well, sobbed, really. I've listened to it many times. Marc is a great storyteller and I hope he keeps writing.

Good insider account

I’ve read or listen to many books about Scientology. This was one of the better audiobooks. As it’s told in his own voice. Of all the books I’ve listened to, this is the first one with a detailed account of life at INT Base.

Great book!

I have always been intrigued with scientology and after seeing him on the Aftermath I decided to give the book a listen. I got through it in a day and a half i guess that should tell you enough. Its so sad the abuses that this man had to go through! IF you are trying to get a second look or more clarity into his story, def check this book out! It gripped me from beginning to end

The Narration Was Just Fine!

As a listener of mostly nonfiction and memoirs/bios, I always prefer the book to be read by the author. They lived it so they have the emotion the writing needs. I found the narration just fine. Headley sounds like your buddy telling you what happened to him. Good book for anyone looking for a Scientology book or have knowledge of the Headley’s.

Unbelievable

The things I love about this book are just too numerous to list. But Marc Headley narrating his story really puts you right there with him. His story, as are so many other Scientology escapees, is fascinating and at times just unbelievable, yet also inspiring. I do hope Marc continues to write.

Epic

This is literally an epic tale of love overcoming incredible odds; of the Phoenix rising from the ashes. Does that sound exaggerated? Just listen to Marc tell his story. I can’t wait to read Claire Headley’s book. I hope it’s coming soon.

Fascinating story on escaping the Cult of Scientology

This story kept me on the edge of my seat. At times it seems fantastical but I know from the experiences of those close to me that the family destroying cult of Scientology does all this and worse to it’s members. Awaiting Volume 2.
