I had briefly wondered what I would feel when I killed one of my own people. My tail twitched and severed Alloran’s head from his pathetic body. I had nothing but contempt for the older Randalite before me. He was weak, and therefore he was useless. The Randalite and former host of Visser Three, body weakened by the venom as his mind was obviously weakened by a lack of will that allowed the Yeerk to take it over, could not stand on his own. Pah! If Ayn Rand were writing this, it would be all: Once again Ax manages to come so close to killing Visser Three, only to be foiled at the last moment by something resembling morality. So it will be up to the Animorphs to do their best to hold the fort until the Andalites get around to sending a fleet. The Andalites don’t consider Earth a priority. We and they now have more context, and going forward, this is going to be a whole new war.īecause, thanks to Ax’s brief contact with the homeworld, we know that the humans are on their own for now. The human Animorphs begin to break down the last of Ax’s barriers, so he can finally become one of them. Thanks to his knowledge as an Andalite, he also allows Applegate to share more background about the Andalite–Yeerk war. As with the introductions to each of the human Animorphs, this book lets us hear in Ax’s own words why he is fighting the Yeerks. It is Ax’s first time as narrator, and so with this book, all of the six Animorphs have had a chance to tell their story. The Alien represents the end of the First Age of Animorphs.
