CAN THE HUMANS OVERCOME THE ALIEN INVADERS WHO HAVE ENSLAVED US FOR OVER A THOUSAND YEARS?
Now available for the first time ever: the 21st Century Edition of L. Ron Hubbard's New York Times best-selling book Battlefield Earth.
This special edition features new material never before published in book form including: the author's handwritten notes (annotated), an exclusive author interview, original lyrics for the novel written by L. Ron Hubbard, and cover art by legendary fantasy artist Frank Frazetta.
Battlefield Earth is an epic science fiction saga of adventure, daring and courage, when man is an endangered species and the future survival of what's left of the human race is at stake.
In the year 3000 AD, man has been savagely ruled for a thousand years by the Psychlos, a space-plundering race of nine-foot tall, highly intelligent, gas-breathing conquerors with razor sharp claws and superhuman strength.
The villainous Psychlo, Terl, enslaves a man-creature and forces him to mine Earth gold. Terl's plan: to teleport the gold to Psychlo, where he can then return wealthy beyond the dreams of avarice.
The slave emerges in the form of Jonnie Goodboy Tyler, a member of the dwindling community of human survivors hiding in the caves of the Rocky Mountains.
However, Jonnie has plans other than to make Terl wealthy-namely, to free mankind from alien tyranny-and cause the ultimate destruction of the Psychlo invaders.
For Jonnie has discovered the alien's one weakness-their "kryptonite"-a substance native to Earth that is absolutely deadly to them. Jonnie and a small ragtag brand of courageous rebels set out in search of a secret vault where the last remaining stash of this weapon is hidden away.
But is Jonnie's fight to save humanity from these gigantic and technologically superior monsters a losing battle? Or will humans regain the Earth once more?
Now, discover the fate of our world for yourself in L. Ron Hubbard's pulse-pounding novel Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000!
