Only You Can Save Mankind (Johnny Maxwell Trilogy)

Book Description

It's just a game . . . isn't it?

The alien spaceship is in his sights. His finger is on the Fire button. Johnny Maxwell is about to set the new high score on the computer game Only You Can Save Mankind.

Suddenly, a message appears:
We wish to talk. We surrender.

But the aliens aren't supposed to surrender—they're supposed to die!

Not Discworld, but an excellent Pratchett story.......2007-05-14

The Johnny Maxwell trilogy is a great deal of fun. Pratchett's different perspective of the way the world works is thoroughly entertaining. It's not part of the Discworld series, but the same sense of humor pervades it. If you like Pratchett's other works, give it a read.

Who else indeed?.......2006-01-31

That's really the question, isn't it? The old saw says that one person can make a difference, but no one ever thinks that it's them so no one does anything. And no difference is ever made. That's what the question on the cover of the book points out, if not you, then who else will?

In this case, Johnny is that one person, one out of thousands, but the only one who listens and takes on the responsibility of trying to do something. He has no power in the "real" world; his parents are on the verge of splitting up and he feels like he's just drifting through life. But now he has both power and responsibility, as little as he thinks he wants either.

It's always been just a game to him; kill the aliens and advance to the next level. But what happens when the aliens surrender? When they place their lives in his hands, ask for his protection? They just want to go home, to escape the strange humans who attack them without provocation. Johnny has the challenge of not just helping them, but learning to see them as people instead of just "things." Because it's all too easy to kill a thing. When you let that "thing" become a person to you, become real instead of an object, then it's not easy anymore.

And that's the lesson here, in a story where the first Gulf War is always on the TVs and being discussed in the background. It's all too easy to wage war when you see your opponents as less than human. When they're nothing more than a target on a screen. It's a lesson that Johnny initially fights against learning, but one that he comes to accept, just as he accepts that he's the only one both willing and able to help these aliens who are becoming people to him.

Eventually he does have help in the form of a genius with the nickname of "Sigourney" (good ode to the "Aliens" franchise). A girl who despite her intelligence, is caught in the mindset of having to win at everything, even if it means killing everything. It's the hardest on her to learn that the ScreeWee are people, and the lesson doesn't drive home until it's nearly too late. Her character is a good commentary on the entire "kill 'em all!" mindset and the way high intelligence doesn't always negate prejudice or massive blind spots in morality.

As always with Terry Pratchett, I have the distinct feeling that a great deal of the humor is going far over my head in that British way that, as an American, I just can't grasp. However, the story itself is so solid, as are the characters and the messages, that it doesn't matter much. There are plenty of jokes that I did get and I enjoyed the rest of it for what it was. I'll be looking forward to seeing the other two books published here in the states.

Thoughtful and enjoyable--a good one.......2005-11-06

What would you do if you were set to win a space simulation shooter and the enemy starship suddenly surrender? At first, Johnny Maxwell figures he'll shoot them anyway. He wants the end of game screen, wants to know that he, in the last experimental spaceship, actually did save mankind. But the alien starships have stopped shooting--and really seem ready to surrender to him. Accepting their surrender isn't easy--as Johnny discovers when he learns that he's abruptly become responsible for the safety of a huge fleet of starships--torn by internal dissention but needing food, protection from other starfighters, and hoping for a distant dream of safety and a homeworld of their own.

Johnny has a lot going on in his life--he's a 12-year-old kid, after all, so he's got school, friends, and 'The Troubles' at home (as his parents' gradually break up). The last thing he needs is a bunch of aligator-shaped space aliens depending on him. Still, he's given his promise--and other computer gamers keep hunting down the fleeing fleet and hammering away at it.

Author Terry Pratchett sets his book during the Gulf War and very real smart-bombs, joystick-launched killing, and anti-different propaganda form a highly serious backdrop for a story that manages to be simultaneously funny and thought-provoking. Shattered remains of ancient and extinct 'Space Invaders' add a poignant touch. Johnny's relationships with the alien captain, his friends, and especially Kirsty/Sigourney seem real and troubled, further adding to the story.

ONLY YOU CAN SAVE MANKIND is targetted at the grade 5-8 market and the writing is certainly accessible to that group. I wonder, though, whether Pratchett's concepts are a bit subtle for that age group. Older and adult readers will find a lot to like in this thoughtful story.

A novel containing all the elements of an AMAZING read.......2005-08-12

Johnny Maxwell is playing a video game called "Only You Can Save Mankind" when a strange message flashes on the screen: "We wish to talk." HUH? There's nothing in the manual about messages. The player is just supposed to shoot down the ScreeWee ships. When Johnny fires again, another message appears: "We surrender! PLEASE!" Johnny quits playing for the evening.

The next day, the ScreeWee captain appears on the screen and tells Johnny that they surrender. The ScreeWees want to go home, and they ask Johnny for safe conduct. He agrees even though he's not sure what he's complying with.

Meanwhile, Johnny's family is going through a very difficult time. His parents may be splitting up; they're certainly unhappy. Johnny mostly fends for himself and watches tons of television, especially news coverage of the war in progress in the Middle East.

Johnny starts waking up in the middle of the game --- actually sitting at the star fighter controls. It's just a dream. Or is it? It doesn't feel like one, or smell like one, either.

The ScreeWees vanish, leaving only space in all "Only You Can Save Mankind" computer games and in Johnny's nighttime adventures. Where are they? When he sees the ScreeWees again, other human players are attacking them. The humans die and they return to play again, but when the ScreeWees die, their lives are over.

The war images on TV are not all that different from what Johnny sees in the game. Which is reality? Which is a game?

This first book in the Johnny Maxwell Trilogy has literally everything to make it an amazing read: breathless adventure, humor that causes the reader to laugh out loud, a main character who anyone can relate to, unexpected friendships, plus huge dead-serious ideas to sink one's teeth into. It just doesn't get any better than this!

powerful condemnation of war .......2005-07-05

Twelve years old Johnny Maxwell loves to play computer games especially those with alien battles. His favorite game at the moment is ONLY YOU CAN SAVE MANKIND in which he battles the ScreeWee.

However, something weird out of virtual reality happens when a ScreeWee Captain announces to him that she and her troop surrender and ask for safe passage back to their sector of space. She explains that this is no game for when a ScreeWee dies they really are dead. A stunned Johnny does not know what to do with all these prisoners of war as he is only a preadolescent. Adding to his burden is when he sleeps he seems to enter the computer world in which he can only wake when he dies as the Americans bomb Baghdad in Gulf War I.

Written during the first Gulf War, ONLY YOU CAN SAVE MANKIND is a powerful condemnation of war as a means to solve disputes. The story line targets the preadolescent crowd, but adults will enjoy the action-packed tale as the bewildered hero makes a plea for peace. Making no apology with his in your face claim that we are all humans whether we live in America, Darfur, Iraq, North Korea or ScreeWee, Terry Pratchett argue we need to live together in peace and harmony instead of sending our young (that is someone else's children) to fight when we ought to seek respectful peaceful solutions to a crisis.

Anyone who can chronicle world history from 500,000 B.C. to present times--and do so in a lively, entertaining style--deserves a medal. Luckily, the bestowers of the very first Newbery Medal in 1922 thought so, too. The warm, personable tone of Hendrik Willem van Loon's writing lends itself to true learning in a way that stern, dry textbooks never do. In the introduction, he describes climbing a tower in Rotterdam in his youth. Years later, the perspective at the top inspired the author to develop a metaphor of history as a "mighty Tower of Experience, which Time has built amidst the endless fields of bygone ages."

This genuinely enjoyable charmer, for history buffs and the historically challenged alike, covers human history from prehistoric times, when our earliest ancestors were learning to communicate with grunts, right through to the issues of the latter 20th century: gay rights, Arab-Israeli conflicts, and health and fitness. Revised and updated several times since 1921, van Loon's inviting classic is filled with stories (and witty parenthetical asides) that bring history alive. His pen-and-ink illustrations, maps, and animated chronology contribute to the cozy, round the fireplace aspect of the book. (Ages 12 and older) --Emilie Coulter

Book Description

Winner of the first John Newbery Medal, here is Hendrik van Loon's renowned classic, updated for the twenty-first century. First published in 1921, The Story of Mankind has charmed generations of readers of all ages with its warmth, simplicity, and wisdom. Beginning with the origins of human life and sweeping forward to illuminate all of history, Hendrik van Loon's incomparable prose enlivens the characters and events of every age. His unique ability to convey history as a fascinating tale of adventure has endeared the book to countless readers and has accorded it a unique place in publishing history. This new version, which retains van Loon's original illustrations, has been brought up to date by John Merriman, professor of history at Yale University. It incorporates the most important developments of the last two decades--including space exploration, the emergence of the developing countries, the Cold War, the Internet, and the astounding advances we have witnessed in medicine and science--and looks forward into the prospect of the twenty-first century. Over 500,000 copies sold; translated into eighteen languages, the #2 best-selling nonfiction book in 1921, the year it was first published.

Download Description

Such a King, by the grace of his soldiers, was called a ``Tyrant'' and during the seventh and sixth centuries before our era every Greek city was for a time ruled by such Tyrants, many of whom, by the way, happened to be exceedingly capa- ble men. But in the long run, this state of affairs became unbearable. Then attempts were made to bring about reforms and out of these reforms grew the first democratic government of which the world has a record.

A Nostalgic Great.......2007-04-22

I first read this book when I was in the second grade, and everytime I read it, it gets better and better. The stories are well written and easy to read, and it covers all the topics essential for a young child to know. Even though it is over 400 pages long, the book goes by as quick as a Dr. Seuss book. Everyone should read it.

Bad Publication of a Good Story.......2007-04-06

This copy of the story is very poorly published (my version is from Hard Press). One example - there is a TOC (table of contents) with about 67 chapters listed (a recollection, as I have already returned my book). The chapter titles in the TOC do not correspond with the titles at the beginning of the chapters, but to a description of each chapter. All of the chapters listed in the TOC are not in the book, there are only about 44 in the book, only the first part of The Story of Mankind. I sent mine back and will look for a different edition.

Among my most prized possessions.......2006-08-20

My 1926 edition of this book is among my most prized volumes. The book is a much-compressed look at events, some facts obviously "of their time", from the beginning of time up to the "present". But is it also an opinionated, old-fashioned, wistful, and occasionally angry snapshot of the state of civilization, and more importantly **how educated people in Europe and America thought**, right after World War I, before Fascism and Communism were to wreck the world once again.

Van Loon was born in the "old Europe", immigrated to and was educated in America. In 1921 he found himself on the threshold between a destroyed civilization and the rebirth of a new one. Now, as Earth begins to endure yet another cycle of destruction and renewal, those with open and especially young minds should read this book, put themselves in the shoes of Van Loon in 1921, duly note its anachonisms, and put aside policial correctness to think constructively about the never-ending cycles of history.

a rather satirical , philosophical and whimsical take on the history of civilization.......2006-05-23

Written in 1922 , this book is a history of the world from pre-historic man to the First World War , written in a rather satirical , philosophical and whimsical style that makes it a great piece of literature.
He deals quite comprehensively for 400 pages with this broad work on civilization.
It also flows nicely.It is fascinating to read of the murder by the Bolsheviks of the Romanov family , as described by the author as a recent event.
It is indeed written from the perspective of 1922:"The world has just passed through an agony of pain compared to which the French Revolution was a mere incident. The shock has been so great that it has killed the last spark of hope in the breasts of millions of men. They were chanting a hymn of progress, and four years of slaughter followed their prayers for peace. ``Is it worth while,'' so they ask, ``to work and slave for the benefit of creatures who have not yet passed beyond the stage of the earliest cave men?'' "

That being said , the work is not free of the authors own prejudices.
A incorrect bit is his refferal to the ancient Land of Israel as Palestine , when speaking about he entry of the Hebrews into that land in 1700 BC.
The term "Palestine" came from the name that the conquering Roman Empire gave the ancient Land of Israel in an attempt to obliterate and de-legitimize the Jewish presence in the Holy Land. The name "Palestine" was invented in the year 135 C.E. Before it was known as Judea, which was the southern kingdom of ancient Israel. The Roman Procurator in charge of the Judean-Israel territories was so angry at the Jews for revolting that he called for his historians and asked them who were the worst enemies of the Jews in their past history. The scribes said, "the Philistines." Thus, the Procurator declared that Land of Israel would from then forward be called "Philistia" [further bastardized into "Palaistina"] to dishonor the Jews and obliterate their history. Hence the name "Palestine."

The Best History Book I've Ever Read.......2006-03-25

And I've read a several. I'm an avid student of history, and this is the best. More critical history of the world is compressed into this tiny book that I ever imagined possible. I continue to re-read it to gain perspective on history.

Additionally, it is a great pleasure to read. A tremendous pleasure. It's like reading Arabian Nights. It will instill in kids a love of history, and that is as good as a hundred books on history.

Furthermore, it taught me a few critical things about history:
1. Histories from one man's viewpoint really are the best kind. It is precisely the fact that Van Loon is with us, telling us the story, that makes it so exciting. A textbook with multiple authors and diligent weeding out of all viewpoint makes for passionless writing, and pleasureless reading. On the contrary, points of view animate us. They may indeed bias us, but they will motivate us to seek other points of view.
2. Be kind to people and places different from your own. You might have done the same thing in that situation. Van Loon has a lot of sympathy for the people of history, and he explains to us why they did the things they did.

The Memory of Mankind is an illustrated history of the unique role libraries have played in the history of civilzation.

Don Heinrich Tolzmann took the classic German-language work The History of Libraires by Alfred Hessel (published 1925 and translated by Reuben Peiss in 1950) and expanded it with additional text to cover the important past 75 years.

Product Description

A highly original work that deals a shattering blow to all our preconceived notions about our past and human origins. Worldwide legends refer to giant flying lizards and dragons that came to this planet and founded the ancient civilizations of Mesopo-tamia, Egypt, India and China. Who were these reptilian creatures? This book provides the answers to many of the riddles of history such as: What was the real reason for man's creation? Why did Adam lose his chance at immortality in the Garden of Eden? Who were the Nefilim who descended from heaven and mated with human women? Why did the serpent take such a bum rap in history? Why didn't Adam and Eve wear clothes in Eden? What were the "crystals" or "stones" that the ancient gods fought over? Why did the ancient Sumerians call their major gods USHUMGAL, which means literally "great fiery, flying serpent?" What was the role of the gigantic stone platform at Baalbek? What were the "boats of heaven" in ancient Egypt and the "sky chariots" of the Bible?

I was pleasantly surprised to see so many comments about this wonderful book! I read it about 2 years ago and even though I usually re-sell my books on Amazon.com after reading them, I just could not let this one go! I knew that I would want to go back to it and either read it all the way though again or use it for reference. It is chock full of historical information and references! It is one of those fascinating books that are so packed with good stuff that it may not all sink in the first time around! So that one is on my re-read list, for sure!

Whether you agree with the author's premise or not, it is worth the money, time and effort! With the great "Intelligent design/ evolution debate in full swing, this book is timely and insightful. While I personally, have an open mind about such things, I strongly feel that if they teach intelligent design in the schools, they need to teach the ancient astronaut theory as well!

Just in case that never happens...........
I'm passing my copy of this book on to my kids!

Peace and Happiness to ALL!

A must read!.......2006-03-06

Ever since I was around five years old, my life has been one of seeking out the hidden history of the past. Knowledge that has been covered up by organized religions and scientists. What steered me in this direction was a passage from some kid's book my mother read to me during my developmental years concerning Adam and the Garden of Eden. The only thing from the story that cemeted itself strongly in my mind was a description about the dusts used to create Adam. It read "The dust was of various colors - red, black, white and green. Red was for the blood, black for the bowels, white for the bones and green for the pale skin." At that point, my mind went down a divergent path of thinking, trying to understand why the color green for skin? That shouldn't have been right. Why wasn't it pink or brown?

Years later, in the mid 1990s, I was directed to the first publication of R.A. Boulay's book that he had on the web at the time (still have it all in Word document form, cleaned up and finished by myself since he never completed the last four chapters. So I transcribed them from the second edition book). Many things in one's life go full circle and this is a case of that situation. There, in the book, to my amazement and delight, was the secret behind Adam's description I had heard so long ago in my youth. It was from the Jewish Haggadah and delt with the first Adam, not the genetic creation that came afterward, which we call a Cro-magnon and looked like modern man does today. I've always believed that there was a race of reptilian beings not of this world that resided on the Earth so many thousands of years ago. The evidence of their involvement in mankind is felt in every culture worldwide and can not be denied. I knew, deep within, that we never had any connections to the dinosaurs. How could we? They all died off. Evolution does exist, but not mankind from dinosaurs. But a reptilian star race does follow a similiar line of genetic origin. Even Carl Sagan, the well-known and respected astronomer, knew that Cro-magnon man could not have evolved from the Neanderthals without outside assistance in genetics. The change is way to dramatic and quick. Also, Cro-magnon man was living at the same time as the Neanderthals.

R.A. Boulay's book is a treasure trove of hidden historical knowledge that is a must read for anyone seeking the truth behind the veil of misinformation that organized religions and scientists have stood so firm on for centuries. I've always been one to question life, the universe and everything; to think up theories about this or that on historical subjects like what is disclosed in this great book. I've never had a theory shot down yet. When I think one up, evidence to support it is normally found. Nearly everything in Boulay's book was once something I thought and theorized about. Then his first edition, and now this better second version that also includes his novel on Dragons (which are purely symbolic of the Annuna race), came along and totally gave foundation to all the ideas I had about history. The same goes for Graham Hancock's superb "Fingerprints of the Gods" and Erich von Daniken's "The Eyes of the Sphinx".

If you desire to know about the Annunaki, the reptilian race that assisted and hampered the development of human evolution and civilzation (they aren't the only star race to be involved though), then this book is a must own. I HIGHLY recommend and love this book. Boulay went to great lengths to search out detailed information on everything he can find about the Anunna from the Middle Eastern, African, Egyptian, Indonesian, Chinese, South American and Native American cultures. Each one was founded or damaged by the involvement with the Annunaki and have based their religions and myths on their culture and activities. Some Annuna were favorable toward mankind, like Enki, while others were destroyers of cities, like Adad (also known as Yahweh and Jehovah). Their technology was highly advanced, though we are getting very close to their many scientific and technological achievements in today's society with genetic manipulation, plastics, computer advancements, aircraft, and many other things.

You will not be disappointed in purchasing this book. It will open your eyes to knowledge about the Earth's true past in relations to star races like the Anunna and the Sirians. This is a true historical book loaded with information, photos, sketches and references to the Anunna and their hybrid ancestors. Scientists are still finding evidence of their destructive technologies today in Middle Eastern archaelogical digs.

Flying Serpents and Dragons.......2003-05-06

OK. I have spent years studing off-beat stuff like this and the more I read the more I find puzzle pieces fitting together. This book takes the ancient past and helps make sense of a lot of the biblical stories. Now, no one will lose their faith over this book if they are basically Christian, because, the old testament is not the new...after all, JC himself said that he came not to uphold the old law, but to establish a new law. And the new law is what Christians believe in...(or should). If you have a passing belief that man was started by the Annunuki as described in "the 12th planet", then this book will reinforce that belief, but give you a twist that you really wouldn't expect. Upon absorption of the books contents, you won't read the old testament in the same manner again, I will grant you that. I might suggest that as an additional read to go along with this book, you should look at "Rule By Secrecy". It will further answer questions, and is by far, the best book on conspiracy stuff...you know...the illuminati, Tri-lateral, Knights Templar...and so forth...well put together and fun/easy to read.
No little green men here. But maybe big green lizards, yes.
4 stars instead of 5 only because the last 40 pages or so tend to cram a bit too much info from other sources into it. Boring if you have read the other books that it is taken from, otherwise, eye-opening for the novice.
You will have a good time with this one. Veritos Vos Liberati!

I am a dragon and I agree with this book.......2002-03-19

I suggest you read this book not all of it is 100% right but yes dragons are from somewhere else but it was not completely all dragon kinds fault that they put sin on mankind. It was actually a higher alien race I call the master, if you want a good read then read this book, I believe is 86% right and the rest like the garden of eden which was later added to the bible is not true. The aliens wrote it up so mankind would see it as some truth and have christians fallow it, also make sure people see it as hob wash because thats basically what it is. So be confused cause the aliens don't want you to know the ancient technology exist and they will make sure of it too, thank you for reading this review and keep studying the unknown. I already know too much as it is.

A Relevant (though dated) Look at Seers from the Ages.......2006-03-22

THE STORY OF PROPHECY IN THE LIFE OF MANKIND FROM EARLY TIMES TO THE PRESENT DAY (hereafter TSP) by Henry James Forman (New York: Tudor Publishing Co., 1936/1940) is a well-written, level-headed, engaging, and still relevant--if dated--story narrative on the subject of clairvoyant prophecy (foretelling) as it has shown itself down through the course of human history. TSP is NOT an examination of eclusively Judeo-Christian subjects, though a number are included, but a panoramic view beginning with the Great Pyramid in Egypt and running to the present day. Forman with ironic eloquence chides the skeptics and the scoffers of the mid-twentieth century with more than a dozen chapters of documented evidence to support the veracity of the many clairvoyant phenomena witnessed throughout the world over thousands of years. TSP includes an interior diagram of the Great Pyramid and twelve b/w (black and white) plates of paintings or photographs of notable prophetic personalties from history. Endnotes, bibliography, and general index are also included. The most amazing moment in this book comes on page 73 when Forman states that "Pyramid prophecy does not run . . . . [past] September 2001 A.D., mankind, pyramidologists believe, will have reached another stage in its growth, another civilization--perhaps a theocratic world-state--and all things will be made new." TSP is recommended to all prophetic persons, and others, who may be interested in expanding their understanding of what has already been communicated through many different personalities, and by what variety of means.
