BATTLEFIELD EARTH: A SAGA OF THE YEAR 3000.
[London]: New English Library, [1983]. Octavo, printed blue wrappers. Advance copy (uncorrected proof) of the projected first British edition. "Galactic goodies-versus-baddies. Hubbard's comeback novel after decades misspent as a religious prophet. Extremely long, and very old-fashioned, it has no virtues." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 27. "There is a degree of badness that is not even funny ... unremittingly dreadful." - Roz Kaveney, Foundation. The first part of the novel was adapted as a 2000 film starring (and partly financed by) John Travolta. Released to critical and commercial failure, "Battlefield Earth" is frequently described as one of the worst films of all time. New English Library did not publish the novel due to a contractual dispute with Bridge Publications. The book was published in the UK in 1984 by Quadrant Books.
