Historia
As the mighty alien fleet from the very latest computer game thunders across the computer screen, Johnny prepares to blow them into the usual million pieces. And they send him a message. We surrender. They're not supposed to do that! They're supposed to die. And computer joysticks don't have "Don't Fire" buttons...It's hard enough trying to save Mankind from the Galactic Hordes. It's even harder trying to save the Galactic Hordes from Mankind. But it's only a game, isn't it. Isn't it?

Short, Sweet, and Entertaining
Revisado: 06-12-07
I was a little skeptical when I decided to purchase this audiobook. It's only 2 hours 47 minutes, which is around the length of one of today's "epic" movies. For over $10.00, this seems rather steep for an audiobook, when you can buy 50+hour books for the same credit...
As far as the story goes: it's an interesting take on "do unto others..." but with a video game twist. I liked its non-violent approach to solving problems, and I feel that it would have been a good read for a kid 8 to 15, especially when said kid is slightly violent. (Don't get me wrong, I video game all the time and I don't think that video games cause violence, but it's a nice view on an alternate solution)
The narration is very good as well, and I didn't feel like I was just being read to.
All in all this was a nice story. Was it worth $10+? No, I don't think so, (which is mainly why I rated it 4 instead of 5) but I had a bunch of extra credits that were just sitting around so I went for it. If you're a Pratchett fan, you'll enjoy this story. If you're older than 15 or you prefer more "grown up" stories, check out his Diskworld series.
