SCIENCE FICTION NEWS/REVIEWS

HUBBARD’S "BATTLEFIELD EARTH"
MARKS 20TH YEAR AS AN INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

HOLLYWOOD, CA—The 20th anniversary of one of the best-selling science fiction stories of all time—-L. Ron Hubbard’s "Battlefield Earth"-—will be celebrated with a special 20th anniversary hardcover edition, marking the novel's two decades as a world-wide bestseller. The book will premiere in stores across the country next week, Galaxy Press announced today.

"When I started out to write this novel, I wanted to write pure science fiction… To show that science fiction is not science fiction because of a particular kind of plot, this novel contains practically every type of story there is—detective, spy, adventure, western, love, air war, you name it." L. Ron Hubbard said in the introduction to "Battlefield Earth".

The biggest single science fiction novel ever published at 428,750 words and 1,050 pages, monumental in scope and action as it swings across the Earth and the vast expanses of 16 galaxies, "Battlefield Earth" was initially released in 1982 as a breakaway New York Times and international bestseller. The book has also been released in an exciting, fast-paced 8-hour, 6-cassette audio (abridged) narrated by film and television legend Roddy McDowall whose world renowned acting career included such memorable films as Planet of the Apes, How Green Was My Valley, Lassie Come Home, Fright Night I and II and Dead of Winter.

L. Ron Hubbard’s "Battlefield Earth" was voted one of the top three English language novels of the 20th Century in a nationwide Modern Library Reader's Poll and ranked as one of USA Today's top five science fiction and fantasy novels. Its continuing, world-wide popularity has been keynoted by its appearance on over 500 bestseller lists, with nearly 7,000,000 copies of the book sold in 25 languages.

During his remarkably prolific and influential 55-year writing career, L. Ron Hubbard published over 250 works of fiction in genres ranging from adventure, western, mystery and suspense to science fiction and fantasy, including 15 fiction "New York Times" and worldwide bestsellers. Nearly 45 million copies of his fiction works have been sold in 25 languages.
