ā€œIt's like a full-blown feature film inside your head.ā€ —Audiobook Heaven

ā€œA vivid movie of the mind!ā€ —AudioFile Magazine

ā€œA pulse-pounding mile-a-minute sci-fi action adventure that does not stop. It is a masterpiece of popular science fiction.ā€ —Brandon Sanderson, author of The Way of Kings

ā€œOne of my favorite works of science fiction ever, I’ve probably read it eight times.ā€ —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.

I love the book but i can't get the whole damn thing to download. I paid $41.95 last March and only get Ch 9 - 32. I've asked for help and haven't even got a response from Google. LAST DAMN TIME I EVER BUY ANYTHING THROUGH THIS APP.

I read this book and I loved it, the book just seemed to be great Science Fiction. Now this book is a huge book divided in to two parts. The first part is what John Travolta tried to bring to films, the problems with the film adaptions was, the Psychlos, put Travolta on stilts is not what I expected from reading the book, many parts of the first part of the book were dropped. What was dropped would of given people context. What is with Psychlos and gold you never know from the the movie. The movie did not end as the first half of the book ended and if the movie was do well it would of been hard to introduce the story and character of the second part of the book. The better half of the story in my opinion
