Official Review: Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard

Post by **Lal Roni** » 03 Jan 2025, 23:31

Hubbard's vision of a post-apocalyptic Earth is incredibly vivid. From the desolate landscapes to the remnants of human civilization, I felt like I was right there alongside Jonnie Goodboy Tyler.

This sounds like an interesting science fiction novel. Though lengthy, I appreciate that the author developed the characters well enough to keep readers interested in the story, ensuring they engage their imagination. This review did justice to the book. Thank you, and congratulations to the author on being selected as BOTD.

I'm concerned about how L. Ron Hubbard maintained the flow of characters in the 1000-page "Battlefield Earth", as explained in the review. I say this because he is known for his short science fiction. The styles used in it, like twists and surprises, which I believe make it interesting, hence making it a must-read.

I'm excited to see how this book takes a new spin on the 'humans fighting back against evil aliens who took over the world' plot. There also seems to be more content than usual. Great botd!

This is a great review of today's BOTD. The enthusiasm in this review serves as a guarantee that though the text is lengthy yet it's appealing to all lovers of sci-fi. Hubbard's description of aliens exploiting the earth's minerals reflects the system of the world where powerful nations exploits weaker ones.

In my opinion, L. Ron Hubbard can easily be named one of the best writers in the genre and his works are well worth the title of classics. I read many of them, and it never ceases to amaze me how creative and logical his imagination is. Regarding the current book, I read it twice and watched the movie and can't understand why it wasn't more successful at the box office. Congrats on BOTD!

Thank you for including the reader discretions in your review! Very well done!
I love how you included that bit from the introduction that this book is DEFINITELY NOT fantasy. The author explains quite well in the introduction the difference, which I found incredibly fascinating. This author went in depth with this as you pointed out as well, this author created a science fiction so good that 1000 pages were well-edited, this author noted it was them relaxing a bit from strict writing standards they had as a professional, they gave more insight on characters separately; the depth and professionalism and care this author put into this novel is incredible. I do agree with you as well, there is something beautiful about older science fiction novels, they knew what they were doing, it was an art they gave great care to that doesn't exist as much today.

The review highlights the book's length and the author's ability to maintain reader interest despite this.

This book follows the narrative that Earth cannot completely be annihilated, regardless of the apocalyptic ideas of nanny people. While this book is fictional, it shows a critical side of humans.

I didn't know that Battlefield Earth is a sci-fi classic. The book seems well written and I like the it has detailed descriptions. The book is lengthy but given its good reviews it must be worth reading. Congratulations on making botd!

"Battlefield Earth" by L. Ron Hubbard, a science fiction book that features aliens and the caracter Jonnie. It will be interesting to find out how the mining oof the natural minerals were carried out. A book to be read.
