| Publisher Description: Only 35,000 humans remain... ...and the aliens hunt them for sport. Who will lead the uprising? In the year A.D. 3000, Earth is a dystopian wasteland. The great cities stand crumbling as a brutal reminder of what we once were. When the Psychlos invaded, all the world's armies mustered little resistance against the advanced alien weapons. Now, the man animals serve one purpose. Do the Psychlos' bidding or face extinction. One man, Jonnie Goodboy Tyler, has a plan. They must learn about the Psychlos and their weapons. He needs the other humans to follow him. And that may not be enough. Can he outwit his Psychlo captor, Terl? What is their weakness? The fate of the Galaxy lies on the Battlefield of Earth. This is one of the finest examples of science fiction ever written, with nuance, sub-plots, and action all the way through. A masterpiece at over 1,000 pages. You'll love this epic New York Times bestseller by L. Ron Hubbard, because his vision of science fiction was ahead of its time. Get it now. "Pulse-pounding mile-a-minute sci-fi action-adventure that does not stop. It is a masterpiece of popular adventure science fiction." --Brandon Sanderson "Battlefield Earth is like a 12-hour 'Indiana Jones' marathon. Non-stop and fast-paced. Every chapter has a big bang-up adventure." --Kevin J. Anderson (co-author of the Dune Sagas) "Over 1,000 pages of thrills, spills, vicious aliens and noble humans. I found Battlefield Earth un-put-downable." --Neil Gaiman |
