BATTLEFIELD EARTH: A SAGA OF THE YEAR 3000.

New York: St. Martin's Press, [1982]. Octavo, blue wrappers printed in black. Advance copy (uncorrected proof) of the first 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. Anatomy of Wonder (1987) 4-280. A fine copy. (#168801) (29601). Item #29601
