Synopsis

We can't tell you who we are. Or where we live. It's too risky, and we've got to be careful. Really careful. So we don't trust anyone. Because if they find us...well, we just won't let them find us. The thing you should know is that everyone is in really big trouble. Yeah. Even you._________________________________________________________Visser One is constructing an enormous new Yeerk pool in an effort to feed the Yeerk reinforcements landing on Earth every day. The visser is blasting giant holes in the ground, obliterating whatever buildings, land, and people happen to get in his way. The subtle invasion is over. And the human population is now aware of the awful reality happening on their planet.Jake and the other Animorphs want to seize the pool ship and stop Visser One from constructing the new feeding ground. It would be a huge conquest-possibly the end of the war. But they can't do it alone. They enlist the help of U.S. military troops. Unfortunately, the general doesn't come through for them, and Jake and the others end up trapped in what will soon be the new Yeerk pool. It looks like there is no way out-unless help comes in the most unexpected form. The Taxxons.

The Animorphs have won a major battle, but they haven’t won the war. The big Yeerk pool on Earth is gone. But the Pool Ship has now landed to keep the parasitic Yeerk troops alive. This of course becomes the new target of the Animorphs, as destroying the ship could put an immediate stop to the Yeerk......more

My reaction to this book as a whole: AAAAAAAUUUUGGGHHHHHH [claws at face] The sudden jolt when Jake gives you his last name is jarring, disorienting. After the setup of the last few books, we now get a sense of all the curtains being torn away: he just lays it all bare for us and it's astonishing, be......more

Goodreads review by Juushika on November 14, 2019

It's only right that Jake gets the final single-narrator book, and it's a good one. Reveals like his full name, age, height, and the series's timescale are devastating in that they ground everything that's come before, making it feel more real--despite, of course, various narrative inconsistencies.......more

Goodreads review by Swankivy on August 07, 2014

Nuts. The world is still reeling from knowing they're being invaded by aliens, but now they have to deal with the fact that it's probably going to end in enslavement for all of them. Jake . . . Jake is the leader. He has to decide. The weird aliens who suffer from insatiable hunger--the Taxxons--are......more

Goodreads review by Kara on January 29, 2019

I read #53: The Answer and #54: The Beginning back-to-back because this book ends on a cliffhanger. Like the rest of my reviews of Animorphs, I’m not really flagging this as having spoilers despite discussing the plot, because I figure that if you’re reading this review of the end of a 50-book serie......more
