With the help of another player, Kirsty, who calls herself "Sigourney" (as in Weaver), Johnny must try to get the ScreeWee home. This might all be the result of an over-active imagination except that the ScreeWee have disappeared altogether from everyone else's copy of the game. After accepting the surrender he finds himself inside the game in his dreams, where he must deal with the suspicious Gunnery Officer as well as the understanding Captain, and work out exactly what they're all supposed to do now. However, he has not been playing for long when the ScreeWee Empire surrenders to him. Twelve-year-old Johnny receives a pirate edition of the new video game Only You Can Save Mankind from his friend Wobbler. The setting of the novels in the modern world was a departure for Pratchett, who wrote more regularly in fantasy world settings. The following novels in the Johnny Maxwell Trilogy are Johnny and the Dead (1993) and Johnny and the Bomb (1996). Only You Can Save Mankind ( 1992) is the first novel in the Johnny Maxwell trilogy of children's books and fifth young adult novel by Terry Pratchett, author of the Discworld sequence of books.
