    Only You Can Save Mankind by Terry Pratchett Read by Richard Michley
    As you can see, I cheated on this one and just listened to the book on tape. It does exist as a book, though. Johnny Maxwell plays a video game in which the object is to annihilate the alien ships. Very usual right? Wrong. In this game, the aliens send Johnny a message; they surrender. They want Johnny to give them save passage to the Border, a place where humans cannot follow. The line between reality and fiction blurs for Johnny (and the book) as he embarks on the mission to save mankind from humans. There are some anti-war feelings projected in this book, as we take a look at the violence espoused by video games.
    Happy reading.
