Reviews
"If you like the kind of fast, unrelenting 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' action, then this is the book for you. It's a real page-turner." --Rocky Mountain News, "If you like the kind of fast, unrelenting 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' action, then this is the book for you. It's a real page-turner." --Rocky Mountain News, "An epic science fiction adventure, the absorbing story captures the mind and imagination." --Orange County Register, "Over 1,000 pages of thrills, spills, vicious aliens and noble humans. I found Battlefield Earth un-put-downable." --Neil Gaiman, "In the year 3000, Earth has been conquered by nine-foot-tall, gas-breathing alien invaders called Psychlos. The few surviving humans are treated as nothing more than pack animals worked to death mining the Earth of all its resources. But a small band of rebel humans, led by Jonnie Goodboy Tyler, vow to fight back against impossible odds and reclaim their planet. "In the book's introduction, Hubbard states: "When I started out to write this novel, I wanted to write pure science fiction. Science is for people. And so is science fiction." If Battlefield Earth 's phenomenal worldwide popularity is any indication -- almost 7 million copies sold in 26 different languages -- it's safe to say that he succeeded. Considering the quality of the story ( Battlefield Earth was voted as one of the top three English-language novels of the 20th century in a nationwide Modern Library reader's poll) and the tender loving care that went into the production, this 20th anniversary edition is more than pure science fiction. It's pure literary gold." --Paul Goat Allen - Barnes & Noble, "This has everything: suspense, pathos, politics, war, humor, diplomacy and intergalactic finance." --Publishers Weekly

For the fate of the Galaxy lies on the Battlefield of Earth. "Over 1,000 pages of thrills, spills, vicious aliens and noble humans.
