Almost nothing could be as bad as finding out your mother is Visser One, the most powerful leader of the Yeerk invasion of Earth.
But it happened to Marco. And even though he's been handling it pretty well, he knew there'd come a time when he'd have to face
her again, knowing that the Yeerk in her brain has taken his mother away.
So when Marco and the other Animorphs discover that Visser One is overseeing a secret underwater project, they know they have
to check it out. But Marco's not sure if this is a battle he'll be able to fight.
Jake's made a pretty amazing discovery. It seems like there may be other people who know about the alien invasion of Earth.
Others who know about the Yeerks. Jake finds a website devoted to revealing the existence of the Yeerks, but he and the other
Animorphs suspect it might be too good to be true.
If they try to investigate the site and it's a trap, the Yeerks could find out who they are. If they don't check it out, they'll never know
if they're the only ones fighting. Whatever Jake and the others decide to do, they've got to move quickly, because Visser Three
isn't the only one dying to meet them.
