Re: Official Review: Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard
Adding to the 1,000 pages are extras, including Hubbard's very long introduction, an interview with him, and lyrics to songs he wrote to go along with the book. To readers concerned about whether or not Scientology plays a part in the plot, it does not. However, there are questions and answers about it at the end of the book. There is also an opportunity to receive a free ebook that gives more information about the Battlefield Earth characters.
That's me. I hear L. Ron Hubbard and think of Scientology. It's too bad that what seems like a great piece of sci-fi gets obscured by the author's reputation as a cult leader. Thank you for your review.

I'm planning to read this epic novel.
What a fantastic Classic sci-fi novel.
Outstanding world-building with all the elements of exciting sci-fi -- technology, a hero's epic journey, a quest, action, adventure, and aliens.
Irresistible!
Thank you for your great review!
