Galaxy Press sent us a review copy of the 40th Anniversary Edition of Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard. Check out our video review on our "New Loot" segment of Back of the Cereal Box!
Battlefield Earth, written by L. Ron Hubbard, is a true masterpiece of science fiction. As we celebrate its 40th year anniversary, it's important to recognize the impact this novel has had on the genre and its readers.
Hubbard's prolific writing career shines through in Battlefield Earth. The vivid descriptions, complex characters, and intricate plot are a testament to his skill as a storyteller. The world-building is breathtaking, and the attention to detail in describing the technology and society of the alien race is impressive.
The story itself is both thrilling and thought-provoking. The struggle of humanity against the alien invaders is compelling, and the themes of resilience and determination in the face of overwhelming odds resonate with readers. The relationship between the human protagonist and the alien captor is particularly interesting, as it explores the concept of empathy and understanding between different species.
Battlefield Earth is a true classic of science fiction, and its legacy has only grown in the 40 years since its initial release. Hubbard's impact on the genre cannot be overstated, and this novel is a shining example of his talent and creativity. If you're a fan of science fiction, this is a must-read.
OFFICIAL BLURB:
Man is an endangered species...
...sadistic aliens hunt them for spot
Will this be the end ... or a new dawn for Humanity?
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.

Richards (author of Unidentified)
