Publisher's summary

Something is very wrong with Ax. He's sick, and the Animorphs don't know what to do about it. They can't take him to the hospital. They don't know how to contact the Andalite home world. And Ax is dying.

Cassie and the other Animorphs come up with a plan. But it involves finding a new way into the Yeerk pool. There's just one problem: Jake, Rachel, Tobias, and Marco all come down with Ax's sickness. And now, for the first time, Cassie is on her own....

My favorite animorph book so far!

This was such a great story, and it was perfect for me to have listened to right now, during a time that I got sick myself, but with no other symptoms, other than my brain being affected.
I would recommend the story to anyone who hast to stand against a group of people or against your own family like I have had to do for the sake of my well-being, and for what is right, when the group thinks that they are the ones who are right, but their right is based on the fear and domination, whereas my right is based on freedom and love. this story represented and talked about the latter in a perfect, inspiring way.
I would even recommend a story for Anyone who has experienced or is experiencing long cove it, because I have heard long. Covid affects the brain as well. I hope for the healing of anyone who reads this, and to have hope of being healed. I hope everyone who reads this is as inspired as I was by this story.

Wonderful production!

This has got to be one of the best Animorphs books ever, and I love this reading of it. I especially love the way Aftran's voice is done -- she sounds like a weary middle-aged woman who has seen too much, and it fits the character perfectly.
