BATTLEFIELD
EARTH
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
Cheered and enjoyed by fans and critics alike, the monumental and award-winning opus Battlefield Earth has been a resounding success since its initial publication, and it continues to be a worldwide publishing phenomenon, with nearly 7 million copies sold in twenty-six different languages to date. It was a New York Times bestseller in both hardcover and paperback. In 1986, Battlefield Earth was voted among the top three science fiction books of all time in a national poll conducted by Waldenbooks of science fiction readers, along with Frank Herbert's Dune and Robert Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land—noble company indeed!
L. Ron Hubbard's Battlefield Earth commands its remarkable popularity through a combination of engaging heroes and villains, an intriguing scenario, and a driving plot that carries the battle for Earth's destiny from combat and bravery through to intergalactic diplomacy and intrigue.
