All Our Base Are Belong to You (Only You Can Save Mankind)

Twelve-year-old Johnny Maxwell is just a normal, slightly boring kid...until the aliens in his videogame surrender to him. That's new. What's even weirder, though, is that when he tries to lead them to safety, they disappear from everyone else's copy of the game too... Writer and editor Steve Lamattina joins us to talk kids, war and videogames in Terry Pratchett's 1992 novel ONLY YOU CAN SAVE MANKIND.
