About the author

It was Mr. Hubbard's trendsetting work in this field from 1938 to 1950, particularly, that not only helped to expand the scope and imaginative boundaries of science fiction and fantasy but indelibly established him as one of the founders of what continues to be regarded as the genre's Golden Age.His culminating works of science fiction—Battlefield Earth and the ten-volume Mission Earth series—blazed new paths in the landscape of modern speculative literature.Widely honored recipient of Italy's Tetradramma D'Oro Award and a special Gutenberg Award, among other significant literary honors, Battlefield Earth has already been translated into twenty-five languages and easily ranks as the biggest single-volume science fiction novel, at 1,050 pages and nearly 430,000 words, in the history of the genre.The Mission Earth dekalogy has been equally acclaimed, winning the Cosmos 2000 Award from French readers and the coveted Nova Science Fiction Award from Italy's National Committee for Science Fiction and Fantasy. In a span of just twenty-three months, each of its ten volumes became New York Times bestsellers—a feat unequaled in publishing history.
