Battlefield Earth - The Book
Review of Battlefield Earth - L. Ron Hubbard by MeatHook

Advantages: Entertaining and engaging
Disadvantages: Very long, perhaps overly so, and extremely far fetched.

Battlefield Earth has recently been made into a high budget Hollywood movie by John Travolta, who has been trying to raise funding for the project for some years. A sci-fi epic isn't the most obvious project for Travolta to champion, but he is linked to it by the fact that he follows the religion of Scientology, and the author of Battlefield Earth, L. Ron Hubbard is the founder of the Church of Scientology. Anyone reading the book with a critical ...
...the book's hero, Johnny Goodboy Tyler, rises from an uneducated inexperienced hunter in a small mountain village, to the Emperor of the multi-dimensional universe. The plot when viewed as a whole stretches credulity beyond the limit of most peoples tolerance, but in fact while reading the book - which is in it's paperback version amounts to over a thousand pages - the plot is paced in such a way and is sufficiently engaging that it's only after ...

Battlefield Earth - L.Ron.Hubbard
Review of Battlefield Earth - L. Ron Hubbard by Maximus-Qualitus

Advantages: Its Ok
Disadvantages: Its Just Ok, No More

Battlefield Earth. Author - L. Ron. Hubbard. Have read a few of his books and have seen the film, so I thought I'd give the book a go. The review will be short and concise, so you can probably already guess what I thought of the book. Synopsis. ~~~~~~~ For over a thousand years Earth has been conquered and ruled over by a race of humanoid beings called the Psychlos. Free humans live in only the remotest parts of the planet and number only ...
...of new slaves and hunt the remaining humans mercilessly. They need them to mine and strip the Earth of all its mineral wealth and resources. Enter our hero, Jonnie, who is restless and leaves the mountains to explore the nearby valley. However, Jonnie is captured by Terl, the Psychlo security chief for Earth (Played in the movie by John Travolta) He is taught the Pyschlo language and trained to carry out Terl's plan to make himself rich and powerful. ...

Don't watch the film...read the book!
Review of Battlefield Earth - L. Ron Hubbard by poodu

Advantages: A saga of Star Wars proportions
Disadvantages: Some would question its realism...but it is Sci-Fi after all!

Maybe you saw the hype surrounding the appalling failure of the film "Battlefield Earth" with John Travolta and Barry Pepper. However, did you know that it was adapted from an epic novel by L. Ron Hubbard? I suspect most of you do, but are wondering how good the book might be considering how bad the film was. Rest assured, this book is a thousand times better than the film. As with the film, the story is based upon an Earth in the year 3000AD where ...
...thousand years before and started to mine the planet dry for all of its natural resources. At this point in time, mankind has been all but wiped out with small pockets living in the most inhospitable parts of the world. The Rocky Mountains, the Scottish Highlands, the Congo and so on. These places are of little interest to the Psychlos and so man can live there in almost peace. However, the part of the mountains where Jonnie Goodboy Tyler and his ... Read review
