Editorial Reviews

“L. Ron Hubbard was one of the big change agents of science fiction. He helped shift the genre from a cold exploration of machines, technology, and alien worlds, to a warm exploration of human beings and how they reacted to such machines, technologies, and worlds. Battlefield Earth is a prime example, a character-driven epic that grabs you from the start and never lets go. You root for the heroes and despise the villains, all the while becoming immersed in a compulsively-readable science-fiction tour de force, complete with breathtaking action, non-stop adventure, and enough creativity to fill a dozen novels.” —Douglas E. Richards (author of Unidentified)

“Battlefield Earth is one of my favorite works of science fiction ever.I’ve probably read it eight times or so. It’s always in my top five. As a writer myself, I think about the pacing and the plotting of that book and just marvel that he pulled it off. It’s really brilliant.” —Hugh Howey (author of the Silo Series, an Apple+ TV show)

“Pulse-pounding mile-a-minute sci-fi action adventure that does not stop. It is a masterpiece of popular adventure science fiction.” —Brandon Sanderson (author of the Mistborn series)

“I re-read Battlefield Earth occasionally. It is pulp science fiction of the top rating. It is a fun book. It is very well done. It goes from a tribal society level and turns eventually into a planetary society operating on a galactic level. You wouldn’t expect it to go there from where it started. He’s built a big world.” —Jim Butcher (author of The Dresden Files)

“Battlefield Earth is an incredible accomplishment, and so thoroughly enjoyable I read it twice! This is what science fiction is all about: action, adventure, politics, the future of the human race and a healthy dose of aliens.” —Rebecca Hardy (author of The House of Lost Wives)

“Non-stop and fast-paced. Every chapter has a big bang-up adventure.”— Kevin J. Anderson (co-author of the Dune sagas)

“This has everything: suspense, pathos, politics, war, humor, diplomacy and intergalactic finance.”— Publishers Weekly

“Space opera that hits the right notes. It’s provocative, exhilarating and genuinely enjoyable.” —SCIFI.COM

“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

I recommend this book to readers who enjoy good science fiction and like having a well-defined hero. If you appreciate classic science fiction, you will relish this book. It is for readers seeking heroes, adventure, aliens, and sci-fi technology.” —OnlineBookClub.Org
