Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000 is a 1982 science fiction novel written by L. Ron Hubbard. Hubbard also composed an accompanying soundtrack to the book called Space Jazz. The book has often been considered in light of Hubbard's role as the founder of Scientology, though he denied that it bore any influence upon the novel. The Church of Scientology reportedly compelled members to buy multiple copies of the book to ensure that it would be a bestseller. In 2000, the novel was adapted into a film starring John Travolta, which is widely considered one of the worst films ever made.
