The Yeerks are finally starting to realize that the "Andalite bandits" are probably not aliens at all. That maybe they've been dealing with humans all along. And no one -- especially the newly appointed Visser One -- is happy about this revelation. When Tobias and the other Animorphs realize that the Yeerks are about to find them, it's by accident. But that doesn't make the discovery any less serious. Because in a war, one side wins and one side loses...

I love this series. Every single book, forever and all time. That being said there’s one thing that annoys me: Inconsistency. I understand that morphing is based on DNA and demorphing and then remorphing can heal injuries on morphs, and it would make sense if it did to the true form too, but that wasn’t the rule that was established earlier in the series. The logic was that the morph is made up of the DNA, but the true form gets extruded into zero space and is not completely remade every time they demorph, therefore if, say, Rachel had a bad haircut she couldn’t fix it by morphing and demorphing, which was exactly what she pointed out in book 2. Or if Tobias had a broken wing in his hawk form every time he would morph and then demorph his wing would still be broken, which was the case in the Megamorph where they went back to the dinosaurs (I believe. I haven’t read that book in decades though. Lol).
And it’s not like it’s just a little detail. Every plot that has spun off of zero space owes itself to that rule. And that was the only reason zero space was brought up in the first place! Without it I’m sure Ms. Applegate would have found another way to introduce Z-space, but that way was just very natural.
I’m totally fine with the way it is now and that’s how I would have wanted it to be from the beginning, but it wasn’t. That’s the only hole I have ever found in this series and I’m happy to ignore the consistency, I just had to point it out. Lol.

LOVE IT, but…

This is a great book which shows how far the Animorphs will go for each other and the results of their decisions. Tobias shows the listener a new side of himself.
This book also ties up a few loose ends throughout the series, and removes many of the boundaries the Animorphs had to deal with.
the narration and story are both excellent.

Win for Tobias

The fantastic plot aside, Ax trying to be a hoodlum whilst stating statistics about troubled youths is just too precious for this world.

Phenomenal

It was actually really intense, heartfelt, and I believe it’s my favorite one in the Animorph series. The best one so far!
