Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000

<h3>In the year A.D. 3000, Earth is a barren 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.</h3><h3><br /></h3><h3>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.</h3><h3><br /></h3><h3>For the fate of the Galaxy lies on the Battlefield of Earth.</h3><h4><strong><it><b>“Over 1,000 pages of thrills, spills, vicious aliens and noble humans.
