Another book review is here and this time I am reviewing a book that was partof the campaign from @bookinfluencers.com. The book is a Science Fiction classic that is written by L. Ron Hubbard.
In the past, I’ve already posted anotherwork by the same author. I recall that it was an amazing read as well. This time I am reviewing Battlefield Earth, a book that was reviewed by many, and that it intrigued me to read and explore. The review is my opinion spoiler-free.
The story takes us to 1977 when NASA launched Voyager 1 in order to explore if there is life beyond our planet.
Thousand of years later, a new discovery showed that the Psychlos, a race that is super powerful managed to removefrom Earth all of its natural resources and made human beings face the risk ofextinction over 3000 years. Jonnie Goodboy Tyler, a natural-born leader and possiblesavior for humanity, had to raise an army to fight the invincible race. If thisis not successful, the human race will no longer exist thus resulting in theend of everything.
This international bestseller is the book that one could easily read on a cozy wintery night since it is a book that hooks you from the very start! It iscrazy if this has to be possible and made me reflect a lot. The book is an epictale of adventure, war, and love. It is action-packed and definitely worth aread. It has a dual way of reading it and while I made use of the audiobook aswell, I absolutely enjoyed this book with a mug of steaming hot chocolate and a blanket. Transporting myself into the ultimate battle was a journey that I will never forget.
