Battlefield Earth

In the year 3000, Earth is a dystopian wasteland, plundered of its natural resources by alien invaders known as Psychlos. Fewer than thirty-five thousand humans survive. From the ashes of humanity rises a young hero, Jonnie Goodboy Tyler. In their quest for freedom, Jonnie and a small band of survivors spark a rebellion that erupts across the continents of Earth and the cosmic sprawl of the Psychlo empire. You can read the first 13 chapters or listen to the first hour of the audio for free.

“A pulse-pounding mile-a-minute sci-fi action adventure that does not stop. It is a masterpiece of popular science fiction.” —Brandon Sanderson (The Stormlight Archive series)

MacTyler Avocado and Pistachio Tart

You are probably wondering about the origin of the MacTyler Tart. Following Jonnie’s sabotage of the Psychlo gas drone, he lay recovering in the defense base high in the Colorado Mountains. It was during this time that the people of Earth began to migrate to the conquered Psychlo compound in Denver. Cultures began to mingle. New goods and foods from around the world were available for purchase. Avocados came with the South Americans. And pistachios came from a desert south of Europe. One of the old Scottish women made this lovely tart for MacTyler to help cheer his spirits and aid his recovery.

“Jonnie, his horse walking dead slow behind Bittie MacLeod, looked over this joyous mob. They were shouting and waving at him and cheering. He had never seen so many people since the gathering of Scotland. There must be three hundred here! …

“The people of Earth, their hopes kindled, could rise and be alive again.”

Kerbango Kookies

Popular with Psychlos, kerbango is the favored drink/substance of their race. When “under the influence,” Psychlos have been known to do such things as gamble away vast sums of money, crash ground cars, and get into a variety of other troubles. Kerbango Kookies use a unique ingredient to create the pleasure of kerbango without these side effects. They are edible by humans, unlike the Psychlo kerbango (alien food).

“He put on some pants and boots. He opened up a pan of kerbango and sank back in his chair, luxuriating. Home to wealth and power. That’s where he was going now.” —from Battlefield Earth, about Terl, Psychlo Security Chief of Earth, year 3000

Rocky Mountain Bliss

Jonnie Goodboy Tyler was born in a small village in the Rocky Mountains in the year 3000. The Rocky Mountain Bliss dessert was inspired by the beauty of the snow-capped mountain peaks. Chocoholics will delight as both white and dark chocolate combine with a hint of coconut in this confection (includes keto diet recipe).

“He felt awe. Was this how it was to be an eagle? Is that how the world looked from the sky? The panorama of the mountains to the west began to open in relief. And in a few moments he realized they were now higher than Highpeak, seen whitely in the cold clear air.” —from Battlefield Earth, about Jonnie Goodboy Tyler, the hero, on his first flight
