"A vivid movie of the mind!" (AudioFile)Publishers Weekly #1 Best Seller and Earphones Award Winner! In response the Voyager launched in 1977, the alien Psychlos remorselessly wiped out the human race with a poisonous gas barrage, and ground and air bombings. They killed more than 99.9% of the people on Earth, not to mention their sadistic hunting sprees of humans for pure bloodthirsty pleasure for the ensuing 1,000 years. 3,000 Psychlos are now stationed on Earth, mining her remaining natural resources, and mankind is an endangered species. Terl, the greedy and sadistic Psychlo Planetary Security Chief assigned to Earth, has a selfish plan for a future of abundance and prosperity. This plan requires enslaving humans to mine precious gold in the treacherous Rocky Mountains, and then wiping out all of the evidence, including all remaining human life. Enslaved by Terl, Jonnie Goodboy Tyler must turn a small desperate band of the last survivors into a tightly coordinated rebel force. Pitted against impossible odds, they must outsmart this cunning and vicious alien adversary that has conquered all opposition across the galaxy into total oblivion. Is Jonnie's fight to save humanity from these gigantic, technologically superior, and cruel monsters a losing battle where humanity will become forever extinct in this high-stakes science fiction adventure?

I saw the movie when it was new, having never heard of this book before. And I am so glad I watched it. Not because it was a good movie (it isn't) or brilliantly directed (absolutely not) or had some top notch acting (seriously it's so bad) but because after I laughed my way through the movie with my dad, I found the old paperback in a thrift store and noting how large it was, I was baffled that the movie could have come from such a large book. I bought it, took it home, and started reading it, expecting something similar to the movie I had just seen. I couldn't have been more wrong.This book has become one of my very favorites, and one I can read again and again and never get bored with it. Often, when I have nothing new to read, I will take this from the shelf (I still have the old paperback) and flip randomly to a section and start reading. It never fails to elicit an emotional reaction for me. Anticipation. Excitement. Satisfaction. Disgust. Fear. Admiration. This book has it all: fantastic action, detailed characters, romance, adventure, a complicated villain, and something that most scifi books have trouble with: a truly alien species. The Psychlos wind up a very complicated race, despite the initial impressions of being rather two-dimensional and universally evil. I love this book.I also had the great fortune to pick up the audio book, and I was thoroughly impressed. This is not one man reading you a story, this is engaging and fascinating. It's more like an old radio play, or what I imagine it would be like to watch a movie blind. Several actors fill the many roles, and the sound effects really flesh out the world you've built in your head.
