L. Ron Hubbard, classic from the golden age of Science fiction, you either like this style or you don't.

Before he invented a science fiction religion that Hollywood seems to think is real, L. Ron Hubbard wrote science fiction novels. Battlefield Earth is a massive effort that takes a good long time to read. The story pits aliens against humans, although by the time the story starts the aliens have pretty much prevailed. Will freedom-loving humans eventually turn things around? The story follows sf traditions but adds little to them. Peter Hamilton's more recent Salvation trilogy covers much of the same ground with more complex characters and a better plot. Some of Hubbard's novel is entertaining but it doesn't do enough to justify the word count or the investment of reading time that it demands.

A great read - a true science fiction classic! I could hardly put it down.

A unique and interesting tale of a future where Earth is just a resource mine for aliens and humans have become an endangered species, fighting against impossible odds to regain their home. If they can gain some alien sympathizers, they might just have a chance, but the odds will still be against them. Absolutely thrilling!

Science fiction classic that should be on EVERYBODY's book shelf.
