SynopsisIf you liked Dune, Atlantis Gene and Star Wars--you will love the book Battlefield Earth In the year A.D. 3000, Earth is a dystopian wasteland, plundered of its natural resources by alien conquerors known as Psychlos. Fewer than thirty-five thousand humans survive in a handful of communities scattered across the face of a post-apocalyptic Earth. From the ashes of humanity rises a young hero, Jonnie Goodboy Tyler. Setting off on an initial quest to discover a hidden evil, Jonnie unlocks the mystery of humanity's demise and unearths a crucial weakness in their oppressors. Spreading the seeds of revolt, Jonnie and a small band of survivors pit their quest for freedom in an all-out rebellion that erupts across the continents of Earth and the cosmic sprawl of the Psychlo empire. For the fate of the Galaxy lies on the Battlefield of Earth. "Over 1,000 pages of thrills, spills, vicious aliens and noble humans.

NASA launches the space probe Voyager 1 . One of its missions: answer the question--is there intelligent life beyond our planet? Fast-forward a thousand years. Question answered ... by the Psychlos, a ruthless race of aliens have traced the probe back to our planet. In a single sweeping alien invasion, the Psychlos have scorched the Earth, all but wiped out the human race and stripped the planet of its natural resources. Now, in the year 3000, humankind faces total extinction. But in this post-apocalyptic world, as a new millennium arises, so too has the courageous Jonnie Goodboy Tyler. In classic men's adventure fashion, Jonnie manages to raise an army out of the remnants of humanity, knowing that against the seemingly invincible aliens, the uprising will require a daring strike on an epic scale. Is it the end of our world ... or the dawn of a new one? Will the human race be an instrument of the planet's destruction ... or the seed of its rebirth? For over 40 years, Battlefield Earth has stood as a classic of science fiction--the landmark New York Times bestselling saga of rebellion and redemption. This is feel-good science fiction at its boldest--a thrilling blend of action and adventure, love and war, power and vision. A perennial international bestseller, Battlefield Earth has been voted among the top three of the best one hundred English language novels of the twentieth century by the Random House Modern Library Readers Poll, and has won worldwide critical acclaim, including the US Golden Scroll and Saturn Awards, Italy's prestigious Tetradramma d'Oro Award (for the story's inherent message of peace), and France's Gutenberg Award for the novel's exceptional contribution to the genre. This 21st Century Edition features: The author's never-before-published handwritten notes. An exclusive author interview. Original lyrics for the novel written by L. Ron Hubbard. Cover art by legendary Frank Frazetta. Experience the epic adventure that changed the shape of science fiction forever. Get it now., Sadistic Aliens loom... Noble humans rise... Is it the end or a new beginning? Battlefield Earth is an enormous epic of adventure set in the year 3000, when the future survival of what's left of the human race is at stake. When Jonnie Goodboy Tyler decides to venture out of the small and dwindling community of humans barely surviving in their Rocky Mountain retreat, he has no thought of challenging the order that for a thousand years has held the earth prisoner to the oppressive alien race of the Psychlos. The Psychlos and their vast intergalactic mining corporation have dominated and exploited all known galaxies for centuries, ruthlessly destroying races who dare to resist. How one man - with the aid of a few surviving Scotsmen--tackles the greatest malignant power in the universe makes for a sprawling adventure of thrilling heroics, full of dangerous underground work, interplanetary wars, intergalactic financial intrigue, monster races, and complex political manipulation spread across a vast canvas of epic scale.
