About this book

In the year 3000, Earth has been invaded and conquered by the Psychlos, a ruthless alien race who traced humanity's Voyager 1 probe back to the planet a thousand years earlier. The aliens have devastated the world, nearly exterminated humanity, and stripped the planet of its resources. As the human race faces extinction, a man named Jonnie Goodboy Tyler emerges to unite the remnants of humanity and launch a desperate uprising against the seemingly invincible invaders. Battlefield Earth combines action and adventure with themes of rebellion and redemption. The novel explores whether humanity will become an instrument of the planet's destruction or the seed of its rebirth. Over its 40-year history, the book has been a New York Times bestseller and international bestseller. It was voted among the top three best English language novels of the twentieth century by the Random House Modern Library Readers Poll and has received numerous awards, including the US Golden Scroll and Saturn Awards, Italy's Tetradramma d'Oro Award, and France's Gutenberg Award. This 21st Century Edition includes the author's handwritten notes, an exclusive author interview, original song lyrics by L. Ron Hubbard, and cover art by Frank Frazetta.
