I think Florence Meyeres has translated “...so long as you, Cassie, don't have to end up turning into me” into French as something like “...so long as you, Cassie, don’t become what I have become.” (This was the first Animorphs book I skimmed in French, the one in which I first saw terminology like Vysserk—AFAIK, visser in French means “to screw (in/on)”.)
"YPM aside, it seems most Yeerks buy into the whole deal that they don't have any other choice; it's either a life of blind helplessness or aggressive domination."
Does exactly this book show a third choice? It might not even mention Yeerks being able to quickly release and take control while in a host, as Iniss does in #2. And like I’ve said in a comment to an earlier post, I wonder why Cassie would become a caterpillar rather than continue as Aftran’s voluntary host. Also, wouldn’t some kinds of alternatives depend on the actions of others, rather than the Yeerks themselves?
