Publisher's Summary
Audie Award Winner • Earphones Award Winner • Best of 2016 Science Fiction Audiobook
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.

Get it Ratbrain
i compared the conquering nature of the intergalactic species to the colonial experience in Canada. Outside politcal forces taking taking and taking with no consideration of the Native people and land.
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!

the best audiobook I've listened to so far!
it was like listening to a movie. the short chapters were great for trips around town but the hardest part was pausing it as I wanted it to never end. Great performance and great material. I may even give it another listen!

Probably the best sci fi I read in my life. It’s a one of a kind with an absolute unexpected turn of events at every point.
The performance, the story, the development and finish are stunning. Movie barely touched on everything. Highly recommended you will not find a better sci fi novel anywhere else I promise!

One of the best.
I find this book amazing in general and exceptionally well written. Hearing it performed was even better and I would recommend it to anybody that enjoys almost any type of writing. All of that in spite of your personal feelings about the writer. Give it a listen you will be happy you did.
