With 19 New York Times bestsellers and more than 230 million copies of his works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard is among the most acclaimed and widely read authors of our time. As a leading light of American Pulp Fiction through the 1930s and '40s, he is further among the most influential authors of the modern age. Indeed, from Ray Bradbury to Stephen King, there is scarcely a master of imaginative tales who has not paid tribute to L. Ron Hubbard.
"A terrific story." --Robert A. Heinlein
"An epic science fiction adventure, the absorbing story captures
the mind and imagination." --Orange County Register
"An unrelenting, whopping good yarn" --Los Angeles Magazine
"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
"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
"Over 1,000 pages of thrills, spills, vicious aliens and noble
humans. I found Battlefield Earth un-put-downable." --Neil
Gaiman
"This has everything: suspense, pathos, politics, war, humor,
diplomacy and intergalactic finance." --Publishers Weekly
"An epic science fiction adventure, the absorbing story captures
the mind and imagination." Orange County Register
