Product Description
Product Description
The full-length novel Earthblood by Keith Laumer and Rosel George Brown chronicles one man''s struggle to find his destiny in a future where the very existence of Earth is a legend that few believe. According to the legends, Earth had fought a desperate war against the hostile aliens called the Niss, but had finally been defeated. This happened millennia ago and humanity had scattered across the galaxy. If Earth still exists, if it ever existed, its location has been lost through the ages. Roan had heard the legends, and even though he had been raised by a kindly alien couple, he knew that he was human - and nothing was going to stop him from finding his lost homeworld. Not even the conquering space fleets of the Niss. Plus, for the first time in one volume, all of Keith Laumer''s other stories of the alien Niss are included with Earthblood, as well are a generous assortment of stories by Rosel George Brown, who was a master of pointedly humorous adventure.

This is one of the few books I read more than once as a teenager. In fact, I was reading it on February 9th, 1971 at 6:01 a.m. when the big Sylmar earthquake hit. What a rude way to have a good book interrupted. Anyway, it's a great science fiction book and it doesn't always cause earthquakes.

I first read this book many years ago as a teenager (was it Asimov who said the Golden Age of Science Fiction is thirteen?), and have read it again several times since then. It's even better with age. It's a classic, unapologetically politically-incorrect tale of a human child who claws his way to the top in a universe after the downfall of the Terran Empire. If you like classic Heinlein (not the bizarre self-indulgent stuff he cranked out in his last years), you'll love this book.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is a book i read many years ago.It has alway's stuck in my Mind as one of the greatest stories i have ever read.It has everything a good story needs. A beginning ,middle and a great ending. It fulfils all areas of the life of the main Charector ,and the supporting charectors.It never leaves you hanging on what or how or where they became a part of the story or why. I have bought about 4 copy's of this book in my lifetime so far.Everytime i lose one or wair one out.One young mans fight for survival,the history of mankind and the people and races he helps along the way.Including the human race. As our real forfathers did.It shows great kindess and justices ,even to the enemy's of his and mankinds.The words Duty,Honor<Justice,Love Kindness,And Humility Are all part of this story. If ever you read this it will be part of you forever.
