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. The following novels in the Johnny Maxwell Trilogy are Johnny and the Dead (1993) and Johnny and the Bomb (1996). The setting of the novels in the modern world was a departure for Pratchett, who wrote more regularly in fantasy world settings.

4 stars

Audiobook with nephew on road trip.
In some ways dated, in some ways timeless. Helped that nephew had seen CDs and floppy discs at the museum recently (!)
He (aged 10) was engrossed and insisted we listen to it even after we got out of the car. Great introduction to the late great Terry P.
