(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, April 27, 2016 ) Hollywood, CA -- Following the announcement of a new special edition release of L. Ron Hubbard's New York Times bestselling novel "Battlefield Earth", Terl, the Psychlo alien antagonist in the story has been on a world tour of his own reaching from Los Angeles to London. This time it was at the famed Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Blvd. where tourists and locals questioned his presence as an alien. The character was brought to life based on the cover art done by the legendary Frank Frazetta.
"Frazetta captured the essence of the beast in his art named ‘Man the Endangered Species' that he painted for the book. It is set 1,000 years in a dystopian future where man is on the verge of extinction and Psychlos are the dominant race of all the galaxies." said John Goodwin, President Galaxy Press. "Bringing him to life has been quite an adventure and he certainly leaves an impression wherever he goes."
The new edition of the book, set to release on Father's Day 2016, has 50 pages of additional content including author hand-written notes, the last public interview done with L. Ron Hubbard and, of course, cover art by Frazetta. In addition to the book format, Galaxy will be releasing the largest science fiction multicast audiobook of all time—"Battlefield Earth" unabridged with full sound effects. The cast includes 67 renowned voice actors and the 47.5 hour production has over 150,000 sound effects. Both properties are already garnering critical acclaim and are available for pre-order on Amazon.com.
Terl made his first appearance in Hollywood today to gasps, squeals, cheers and fist bumps. Last week he was seen in London and prior to that Salt Lake City and Silicon Valley. The question is…where will Terl turn up next?
