Since I have been reviewing a lot of backlist titles this year, the only one of these that I have reviewed so far is Battlefield Earth. You can read my 4 star review here. Interestingly enough, when I posted this review on Amazon, I was accused of being a Scientologist shill. In actuality, the only thing I know about Scientology is what I've seen on the tabloid covers while waiting in line at the grocery store. The fact is that, regardless of the author's beliefs, this is one of the most incredible & "cinematic" audio productions I've ever listened to and fully deserves to be on any 2016 "best of" list.
And one more time...
