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 aquire 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.

Everyone thought Visser Three and Ax were the only Andalites on Earth–until now. The Animorphs have discovered two other warriors who escaped from Ax's Dome ship, and they may be able to help fight against the Yeerks! Gafinilan and Mertil were living their own quiet, secret lives on Earth, until they were caught on home video and shown on TV.

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? Ax is torn. The Andalite team wants him on board–especially the cute young female cadet named Estrid.

he Animorphs' latest adventure takes them where no man has ever gone before... into Marco's left nostril. Who else could be responsible for this mess but a crew of miniature egomaniacs? The Helmacrons have returned to demand the morphing cube because they need more power to escape Earth's atmosphere. In the middle of their threats, Rachel tries to destroy their ship, and some of the little warriors bail... right into Marco's body.

Cassie is on her own. There's no Jake to lead the mission. No Marco to tell stupid jokes. And no Rachel to say "Let's do it!" It's just Cassie. Alone. In Australia. 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.

Rachel is falling apart. Literally. Her newest morph has the ability to regenerate its 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.

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.

Eleven-year-old Willodeen adores creatures of all kinds, but her favourites are the most unlovable beasts in the land - strange beasts known as 'screechers'. The villagers of Perchance call them pests, even monsters, but Willodeen believes the animals serve a vital role in the complicated web of nature. Lately, though, nature has seemed angry indeed. Perchance has been cursed with fires and mudslides, droughts and fevers, and even the annual migration of hummingbears, which are a source of local pride and income, has dwindled.

Der schon in die Jahre gekommene Gorilla Ivan lebt in einer heruntergekommenen Zirkus-Mall. An seine Zeit in den Bergen in Freiheit kann er sich fast nicht mehr erinnern, mit seinem tristen Dasein hat er sich abgefunden.

Das letzte große Abenteuer der Gefährten. Während ihrer Erlebnisse in Nedarra und Dreyland wurde Byx und ihren vier Freunden eines bewusst: Krieg liegt in der Luft. Khara, inzwischen aufgestiegen zur Führerin der exilierten Familienclans, schart Freiwillige um sich, die die Friedenstruppen bilden. Gemeinsam wollen sie das Töten verhindern, vor allem durch kluge Strategie und Verhandlungen. So wird Byx als Botschafterin zu den Wasserwesen entsandt. Doch wird es den Freunden wirklich gelingen, den Krieg aufzuhalten?

Um herauszufinden, ob sie wirklich die Letzte ihrer Art ist - der "Endling" - , begibt sich Byx mit ihren neuen Freunden in die schneebedeckten Berge von Dreyland. Sie hofft, dort vielleicht eine Spur anderer Dalkins zu finden. Doch die Bedrohung eines herannahenden Krieges wirft ihre Schatten auf das Land, und für die Gefährten wird die Reise hoch oben im Norden immer gefährlicher.

Byx ist die Jüngste im Dalkin-Rudel, und wie alle Dalkins besitzt sie eine besondere Gabe: Sie kann Lüge von Wahrheit unterscheiden, immer. Doch in Nedarra werden die Dalkins gejagt. Den Menschen, die sich hier zur Herrschaft aufgeschwungen haben, sind die hundeähnlichen Wesen ein Dorn im Auge. Als Byx eines Tages von einem Streifzug zu ihrem Rudel zurückkehrt, geschieht das Furchtbare: Sie findet alle Dalkins tot vor, ermordet von den Schergen des Machthabers Murdano. Ist sie nun ganz allein, die Letzte ihrer Art, der Endling?
