| Summary |
If you liked Dune, Atlantis Gene and Star Wars-you will love the audiobook Battlefield Earth ! In the year A.D. 3000, Earth is a dystopian wasteland, plundered of its natural resources by alien conquerors known as Psychlos. Fewer than thirty-five thousand humans survive in a handful of communities scattered across the face of a post-apocalyptic Earth. From the ashes of humanity rises a young hero, Jonnie Goodboy Tyler. Setting off on an initial quest to discover a hidden evil, Jonnie unlocks the mystery of humanity's demise and unearths a crucial weakness in their oppressors. Spreading the seeds of revolt, Jonnie and a small band of survivors pit their quest for freedom in an all-out rebellion that erupts across the continents of Earth and the cosmic sprawl of the Psychlo empire. For the fate of the Galaxy lies on the Battlefield of Earth. Superlative quality-a new standard for all audiobooks. Unlike any other audiobook ever produced. A fully immersive experience, this unabridged audiobook features more than 65 actors including Grammy Award-winning audiobook producer and narrator Stefan Rudnicki. This state-of-the-art audio engineering has created a wholly cinematic soundtrack with: 47½ hours of pulse-pounding drama and action professionally recorded with high-definition sound. A gorgeous cinematic soundtrack with full orchestral compositions and more than 150,000 sound effects. A cast of more than 65 actors - many of whom are celebrity voices from TV, films, and games - performing 198 characters. Written with a phenomenal burst of creative energy in a sustained eight-month period in 1980, and first published in October 1982, Battlefield Earth became a breakaway New York Times and international best seller, hailed as one of the classic science fiction novels.
