The Conspiracy
by Katherine Applegate
read by MacLeod Andrews
Part 31 of the Animorphs series
Jake and Tom's maternal great-grandfather dies suddenly. Their mom immediately travels out of state to help make arrangements for the funeral. Jake, Tom, and their father are to follow in two days when their dad can take off from work, and stay for a few days. This, of course, creates a problem for Tom (who, as we know, is a Controller and needs to get to a Kandrona every three days.)
Tom resists. But his father insists. They're going, and they're staying for at least three days. No arguments. Jake, too, for his own reasons, would rather not go, but he's much more interested in the fact that Tom is in a bind. How should he play it? What should he do? Jake is so worried about whether he should hope Tom's Yeerk starves to death, possibly forcing the Yeerks to kill Tom, that he completely misses the other possibility.
When Jake gets home the next evening, he finds a note from his dad crumpled in the trash. It had obviously been stuck to the refrigerator, someone had snatched it off, and thrown it out hurriedly. Their father says he's going with Tom to a meeting of The Sharing. Tom had used obligations to The Sharing as his excuse for not wanting to attend the funeral. Jake figures out that Tom must have convinced their father to offer an in-person excuse to his superiors at The Sharing.
Jake is in a panic. The note doesn't say where the meeting is. Or when it starts. But Jake is sure of one thing: Tom is going to force their father into involuntary infestation. It's Tom's escape from the bind he's in. For once, Jake's quick-thinking tactical mind freezes up. How is he going to save his dad without exposing himself, the other Animorphs, and Ax to the Yeerks...?

Rachel is falling apart. Literally. Her newest morph has the ability to regenerate it's limbs, but when Rachel demorphs there's a lot more Rachel than when she started out. One more Rachel, to be exact. Rachel is an okay person to have around. But two could be considered overkill. Especially two Rachels with completely opposite personalities: one is pathetically weak, one is super strong and super nasty.
Now the Animorphs have to figure out a way to put Rachel back together again. Because if it's up to the "twins," Rachel the weak will surrender to Visser Three. Rachel the superbold will try to single-handedly take him down. And twice the trouble may be twice as much as the other Animorphs and Ax can handle...

The Illusion
by Katherine Applegate
read by Michael Crouch
Part 33 of the Animorphs series
There is an Anti-morphing ray out there. It's purpose: to cause a person in morph to revert to his natural form. And the Yeerks have done a very good job in hiding it. Word from the Chee that the Yeerks are ready to test the weapon. Just one problem: They don't have a test subject. Yes, they could have Visser Three go into morph and them hit him with the ray. But Yeerk scientists say
there's a definite chance that the ray will prove fatal. The Visser isn't volunteering.
The Animorphs come up with a clever and exceedingly dangerous idea: To find and destroy the weapon, they will supply the test subject. They will deliberately allow the Yeerks to capture one of them, follow the captured person, and learn where the weapon is. The dangers are obvious. If they are too late, the Yeerks will use the device to forcibly demorph the subject and reveal his true form: Human. Ax points out that he should be the one to volunteer. The Yeerks will discover an Andalite. Just what they expect.
Then Tobias has an even better suggestion. He should go. The Yeerks can take him, assuming him to be a hawk. They'll try their ray and nothing will happen. He'll already be in his true form. The Yeerks will think the weapon doesn't work. There's just one other problem. The Yeerks will hold Tobias beyone the two-hour limit. So in order to play the part of an Andalite in morph, Tobias will have to demorph to Andalite at some point. Only one solution: Tobias must acquire Ax...

A single Arn, Quafijinivon, the last member of the race that created the Hork-Bajir has survived. He has seen his entire people wiped out. He has seen the Hork-Bajir enslaved. Now, after a lifetime of planning and plotting, he wants to get his revenge on the Yeerks. And he wants to atone for the problems the Arn have caused. He is old and weak. But he has something the Yeerks have reason to fear: the Ixcila, the mind pattern and persona of Aldrea-Iskillion-Falan. Prince Seerow's daughter and one of the main characters of The Hork-Bajir Chronicles. Dak Hamee's Ixcila did not survive. Aldrea's Ixcila is a powerful thing for the Arn to have. Because he's also learned that while Aldrea and Dak were alive they'd managed to steal and hide an entire transport of Yeerk weaponry. And now Quafijinivon wants the free Hork-Bajir on Earth to have the weapons to fight against the Yeerks. But he has to find the weapons first. And only Aldrea would know where they are hidden. The free Hork-Bajir notify the Animorphs of this Arn's arrival on Earth. When they meet, Quafijinivon feels that Cassie is the best candidate for Aldrea's Ixcila. Now, Cassie has within her own mind the mind of Aldrea. She, the other kids, the Arn, and Toby (the young Seer of the free Hork-Bajir colony), must travel to the Hork-Bajir home world, locate the weapons cache, and help launch a new Hork-Bajir liberation movement. One problem: The Aldrea persona must voluntarily surrender its hold on the host mind or decide to push the host aside. Did Aldrea's Ixcila choose Cassie because it sensed she was weak? Or was Aldrea drawn to the truly strong memeber of the Animorphs?

Part 35 of the Animorphs series
The Yeerks have decided to step-up recruitment in The Sharing-but it's not going to be celebrity endorsements this time. It's a cable TV show, one with a lot of interactivity: call-in and Web site.
The Animorphs and Ax are at a loss as to how to bring this threat down. The Yeerks have come up with a brilliant defense. The studio is in a large building with its own day care center. The day care center is right next to the studio and, to emphasize the family nature of the show, there's even a glass wall separating the studio from day care center. So now the Yeerks are hiding behind innocent children. The Animorphs and Ax cannot rist an attact. In any case, trashing a television studio won't accomplish anything.
Meanwhile, Marco has his own problems. Something Marco doesn't know how to deal with: His dad is dating. He has been for a while, and it's looking serious. The woman? Marco's new math teacher, Ms. Robinette. Marco seems unconcerned. The Animorphs and Ax wonder why he's not more upset. After all, he knows his mother is still alive, or at least he has reason to hope. But it just jokes it all away. No big deal. Even when he finds his father with a copy of Brides magazine, Marco acts as if it's all no big deal. But when Marco starts to have problems with his morphing, everyone knows something is wrong. In the middle of a battle with Controllers, he starts to morph into a gorilla and comes up with an animal that is half gorilla, half polar bear.
Of course, it's the stress that's getting to Marco. The very personal, unacknowledged stress at the thought of his dad remarrying. The reason he's fighting is the hope that someday, somehow, he can put his family back together again. That's when his dad decides on a sudden wedding. What will Marco say when the guests are asked whether anyone knows any reason why these two should not be joined in holy matrimony?

But after damaging the SeaBlade, the kids and Visser Three make a startling discovery: an underwater civilization, a sort of reallife Atlantis populated by mutated humans (gills and lungs) who call themselves Nartecs and live in huge underwater caverns filled with air. The Nartecs seize sunken vessels from the oceans of the world, adapt the ships' technology, and mummify the crews.
So now, the Animorphs and Ax need to survive the encounter with the Nartec and still completely destroy the SeaBlade (whose technology would allow the Nartec to create havoc in the world's oceans). And in order to do this and escape the Animorphs and Ax will Actually have to fight alongside Visser Three...

The Weakness
by Katherine Applegate
read by Emily Ellet
Part 37 of the Animorphs series
Jake has to attend a wedding out of town. No one has been designated to take over as leader of the Animorphs. But when Tobias tells the others that he's found the place where Visser Three currently feeds, there is a unanimous agreement on going after him. The kids acquire cheetah morphs to run the visser down. Unfortunately, there's a new player on the scene: an inspector sent by the Council of Thirteen to check on Visser Three's eternal problems. The inspector has a Garatron host body. Garatrons are the newest hosts: like Andalites, but with shocking speed, and no morphing technology. this Garatron-Controller outruns the Animorphs and Ax in their cheetah morphs, saving Visser Three. The kids soon realize this inspector may provide a way to do away with Visser Three. If they can convince the inspector that the visser is totally incompetent, totally unable to stop the "Andalite bandits," maybe the Visser will be recalled. Now a dispute breaks out: Who will run the mission in Jake's absence? Marco and Rachel are the main aspirants. Cassie takes herself out. Tobias and Ax bow out. In the end, Marco lets Rachel take control.
Rachel stages a series of reckless Rachel raids to harass known Controllers, with the goal of making the Visser seem impotent. But Rachel's recklessness and impatience betray her when her failure to plan results in Cassie being captured and taken to the Yeerk pool. Rachel's confidence collapses. She learns about the flip side of leadership, the difficult choices Jake makes all the time. The kids rescue Cassie with a spectacular assault on the Yeerk pool. Rachel has succeeded, but her interest in leading is considerably diminished.

The Andalites have returned! The main fleet flew off-course in an effort to stop the galaxy's newest threat—the Rakkam Garoo. But a small crew managed to reach Earth. Now it's up to the Animorphs to decide how to treat their new allies. Can the group be trusted? Or do they see the kids as a threat to their own mission?

Jake seems to have grown up overnight—literally. When he went to asleep, he was his usual kid-self, and when he woke up, about ten years had flown by! What's worse, the Yeerk invasion of Earth has succeeded. The newly adult Jake searches for Ax and the other Animorphs to find a way out of the horrific future—but he soon learns they won't be much help. They've all been killed or infested.
Luckily, Jake locates Cassie, who's part of a human-yeerk conspiracy movement to brutally conquer earth. When he attempts to help Cassie's rebel group though, he's captured by the new Visser Three. And now it looks like Jake's fate has been sealed.
Because not only is the new visser more powerful than the old one, he also has a smart, cunning host armed with intimate knowledge of how the Animorphs fight. Marco.
It all seems too horrible to be true. And there are things that just don't add up. That's when Jake begins to wonder if it's all just a really bad dream. Because if it is, he'll wake up and things will be back to "normal." If not, Jake is as good as dead...

Part 43 of the Animorphs series
Tobias and the other Animorphs have seen things so bizarre that no sane person would believe their story.

It all began when the latest Animorphs' mission took a bad turn—and Cassie hid in the cargo hold of a jumbo jet. Unfortunately for her, that jet took off, bound for Australia. And what Cassie didn't realize was that the Yeerks were still on her trail—a lone "Andalite bandit" is a pretty hot target.
Cassie ends up in the Australian Outback—with no friends to help her, and no knowledge of the terrain. Even worse, she doubts her survival skills are strong enough to get her back home. Especially when she notices someone else who's not exactly from the Outback. Visser Three.
