A Classic Space Opera of Alien Invasion, Dystopian Resistance, and Non-Stop Action & Adventure

"This has EVERYTHING: suspense, pathos, politics, war, humor, diplomacy and intergalactic finance. " --PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

"A pulse-pounding mile-a-minute sci-fi action adventure that does not stop. It is a masterpiece of popular science fiction." --BRANDON SANDERSON, Author of The Way of Kings

"One of my favorite works of science fiction ever, I've probably read it eight times." --HUGH HOWEY, Author of Wool

1977. 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.

Über den Autor
With 19 New York Times bestsellers and more than 350 million copies of his works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard is among the most enduring 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. Then too, of course, there is all L. Ron Hubbard represents as the Founder of Dianetics and Scientology and thus the only major religion born in the 20th century. While, as such, he presents the culmination of science and spiritual technology as embodied in the religion of Scientology.
