Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000

The subtitle supplies the date, the year 3000, and nothing else printed on the book describes the story: the back cover is given over entirely to reviewers. St. Martin's Press published Hubbard's novel in hardcover in 1982. Bridge Publications fitted all of it into one thick paperback in 1984, under Gerry Grace's cover and a starburst promising a motion picture.
