L. Ron Hubbard:Battlefield Earth
Ron Hubbard is an interesting case.
First he wrote Sci-fi, then founded a
religion and then returned to Sci-fi.
He also died some time ago. His books
are well written, usually bestsellers
and THICK. A 1000-page paperback is
something that must be seen before it
can be believed. In addition to BE he
at least started to write a ten part
Sci-fi epic called Alien Affairs,
where Earth is sold and everybody
becomes a slave. That happens in the
first part, that is. Every volume of
saga contains over 1000 pages, so
there is quite a bit reading there.
Battlefield Earth is located about
a thousand years into the future. It
tells about Johnny Goodboy Tyler, who
starts as a member of dwindling human
race. Earth was conquered by Psychlos,
a race that governs all the galaxies in
all sixteen universes. Johnny is caught
by the security boss of the Earth
branch of Psychlo mining corporation,
and an intelligent young man that he is
he learns how to overcome Psychlos.
Therefore he overcomes them, blows
their homeplanet to hell with 10 planet
busters and overtakes Psychlo mining
corporation, thus changing the face of
interplanetary, intergalactic and inter
universal politics for times to come.
The book is quite an adventure. Like
some pro-critic said, it is like a
mixture of Rocky I, II, III, IV, Star
Wars -movies, Raiders of the Lost Ark
and some other whopping action pics. I
liked the book so much, that I bought
two volumes and have read them twice.
Language is fluid, vocabulary suffici-
ently simple and plot incredibly high-
flying. An A 1 choice of good literat-
ure. Also, offer valid in USA only,
there is a soundtrack available,
composed by the author.
