Battlefield Earth was a huge book.

"Invasion: Earth" was a series of about a dozen or so.

I think it's his "MISSION EARTH" Series that you're thinking about ... 12 or 13 books, pretty much unreadable.

Now, BATTLEFIELD EARTH, although a fairly long book, was, I thought, a pretty good read in a post-Armageddon Alien Invasion Campbellesque-SciFi Swashbucker kind of way: outnumbered, innovative Earthlings battle against all kinds of alien invaders and, because of their pluck and daring, succeed in overthrowing the inter-galactic status quo.

Ahhh. Didn't realize there was a difference.

I only made it one and a half book into “Mission Earth”, and yes, unreadable.

I thought “Battlefield Earth” was somewhere within those 12-13 books.

Mascot = Keyboard Assault Trooper. Military uniform (perhaps several different mascots from several different eras in American history) carrying a standard weapon that matches the era, and a a big (but not too big) keyboard strapped over the back instead of a backpack.
