buffyangellvr23.livejournal.comAx and the Animorphs have always believed he was the only non-infested Andalite on Earth. That he alone survived the terrible battle between his people and the yeerks.
Until now.
There WERE other survivors. Other Andalites. And they're here on Earth. Trying to keep a low profile. Trying like Ax and the Animorphs to stay alive until help finally comes.
If help finally comes...
This is one of my favorite of the later books. I see someone made a post about it a little bit back, and now I'll always wonder as I read it lol.
What do you think of Gafinilan's actions trying to save Mertl? I find it highly ambiguous like so many other things in the series. It's nice that he was trying to save his friend but bad he'd risk another Andalite to do it. I'm reminded of his "no one understands" lament.
Why do you think Andalites look down on vecols so much? I can really see the comparison to humans here. Unfortunately some humans have similar patterns of thought. I hope Ax learned a few things from the experience.
I know Gafinilan didn't have long but should he or Mertl have showed up again later on, in another book? Maybe more Mertl than him...
Bonus points for the Unsolved Mysteries part. I can see the whole thing complete with Robert Stack voice and music in my head as I read that part because my mom used to watch it all the time. She still watches it all the time, although it's the new one now. LOL I can even still quote you the old information number spiel they gave at the end I think. And the beginning spiel. Scary lol
Hmm, prompt..."A Friend in Need" works I think.
Next week we read Megamorphs #4, the last Megamorphs book, before we get to The Familiar. (another one I like)
