Battle for Earth

Keith Mansfield

People in London are being taken away in unmarked police vans, never to be seen again...

While trying to keep up with his school studies and ensuring his football team stays top of the league, it's Johnny's job to safeguard planet Earth.

Suspicious of the strange occurrences, Johnny investigates to find that alien enemies are feeding humans to their Queen on a nearby planet. He then discovers a more terrifying secret: the aliens are planning a devastating invasion of Earth.

The battle for Earth will take all of Johnny's and his friends' strength and resolve. Can they win? If they do, what price will they pay to save the world?

Keith Mansfield

Keith Mansfield began publishing books about AI, specifically on neural networks, in the early 1990s, when these were considered extremely unfashionable. In the noughties he worked on major AI textbooks, before publishing Nick Bostrom's New York Times bestseller Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies in 2014 - a book that helped kickstart the AI Safety debate and led indirectly to the formation of OpenAI and the release of ChatGPT. A science fiction author in his spare time, he has worked at Oxford University's Future of Humanity Institute, and is currently the popular science publisher for Penguin Press, working alongside the likes of Khan Academy's Sal Khan on generative AI in education, and Senior Turing Fellow and Cambridge DeepMind Professor Neil Lawrence on the role of AI in today's society. Based in London, he is also the author of The Future in Minutes.
