Battlefield Earth is an enormous epic of adventure set in the year 3000, when the future survival of what's left of the human race is at stake. When Jonnie Goodboy Tyler decides to venture out of the small and dwindling community of humans barely surviving in their Rocky Mountain retreat, he has no thought of challenging the order that for a thousand years has held the earth prisoner to the oppressive alien race of the Psychlos.
The Psychlos and their vast intergalactic mining corporation have dominated and exploited all known galaxies for centuries, ruthlessly destroying races who dare to resist. How one man - with the aid of a few surviving Scotsmen—tackles the greatest malignant power in the universe makes for a sprawling adventure of thrilling heroics, full of dangerous underground work, interplanetary wars, intergalactic financial intrigue, monster races, and complex political manipulation spread across a vast canvas of epic scale.

Ce que les critiques en disent
"A vivid movie of the mind." (AudioFile)
“The sheer scope of this production of the epic sci-fi adventure Battlefield Earth is breathtaking.” (Stefan Rudnicki)
"Pulse-pounding mile-a-minute sci-fi action adventure that does not stop. It is a masterpiece of popular adventure science-fiction." (Brandon Sanderson)
First off, I haven’t heard an audiobook with production values this high before. The full cast did a very good job performing their lines, and although the narrator was sometimes a bit overdramatic, he was easy to listen to. There was also decent soundtrack and sound effects where used (where appropriate).
With regards to the story: I enjoyed the first part up to what seemed to be the climax of the main story arch (even though it was a bit shallow and full of cliches). But I was very confused, since I was only about 1/3 of the way through the book. I continued to listen, and found that unfortunately, the rest of the story just went on, and on, and on (and on), meandering through a series of events that ranged from mildly boring to mildly interesting, without ever really achieving any real tension. I was tempted just to give up on the whole thing, but I decided to continue to listen since I didn’t have any other audiobooks available.
I wish that the author had a better editor, who suggested that he finish the book after the initial story arch concluded, then save (and further develop) the remaining material for a couple of other books. I think there is potential here, but the author failed to achieve it with this draft.
Overall, this book has some entertainment value, but it’s a bit tepid at best. But as I said earlier, it has great production values, and for those listeners looking for something a little longer to fill up the hours, you won’t find too many audiobooks longer than this.

I read the book and really enjoyed it as a tenager. Hated the movie as an adult but am much more entertained by the audio book as an "older" adult. i listened to it driving, chopping wood, and out hiking. Its worth the time!
It would be sweet to see this tale as a two season Crave series with full CGI to do the alien tech and characters justice. Sorry John Travolta you have to leave thIs next project to a lowly RATBRAIN!
Get it Ratbrain
