Title: Battlefield Earth
Genre: Science Fiction
Science Fiction is a Great Resource for Mom’s of Teens
Battlefield Earth is one of the sci-fi classics like Ender’s Game and Dune.
For the 40th Anniversary, I want to give it a shout-out and recommend that you check it out.
For the sphere space opera scope of it (and its addiction quality) it is like the book form of Star Wars or even Star Trek—suspenseful with lots of action and some creative alien species.
The unabridged audio has thousands of 5-star reviews on Audible.
It is popular with teens as well as adults and has been included in the Accelerated Reader program and has been Lexile rated, for those mom’s looking for great reading suggestions.
Here is the Amazon description:
Sadistic Aliens...
...Man is an endangered species.
Is it the end of the world or the rebirth of a new one?
In the year A.D. 3000, Earth is a post-apocalyptic wasteland. The great cities stand crumbling as a brutal reminder of what we once were. When the aliens invaded, all the world’s armies mustered little resistance against their advanced weapons.
Now, all that stands between mankind and total extinction is Jonnie Goodboy Tyler—the courageous young warrior determined to rally the scattered tribes of humanity in an all-out battle for freedom.
The fate of the Galaxy lies on the Battlefield of Earth.
