During a writing career that spanned over 50 years, L. Ron Hubbard's hugely versatile and prolific ability to capture the imagination of every type of reader was demonstrated by his publication of over 250 works of fiction in nearly every known genre. His ever-growing popularity with people who love to read has been vividly underscored by 18 New York Times bestsellers, including the perennial international bestseller Battlefield Earth, which has sold more than five million copies in 20 languages around the world and which was voted the #1 science fiction novel of the 20th century by the American Book Readers Association.

A classic of modern science fiction, the impact and lasting popularity of Battlefield Earth s saga of alien conquest and human rebellion has made it one of the best-selling science fiction novels of all time.

Hailed by critics and fans alike, Battlefield Earth is as intriguing and imaginative now as on the day it was published, and to commemorate the 20th anniversary of this science fiction epic, a special hardcover edition is being released. This extraordinary commemorative will be a landmark edition that includes special supplementary material, making it an absolute must for the speculative fiction reader.

In the year 3000, man is an endangered species at the mercy of a space-plundering race of nine-foot-tall, gas-breathing alien conquerors from the planet Psychlo. Against terrific odds, the remnants of humanity have engaged in a desperate and grueling battle for Earth against the alien oppressors-and so begins this epic adventure that surges across the Earth and explosively ignites across the galaxies of an alien empire . . . to become the gripping tale that has kept countless readers enthralled for the past two decades.
