Dak Hamee is a unique Hork-Bajir. His people call him a seer. He learns more quickly and completely than the rest of his docile race. Hork-Bajir like him are born once a generation.

Aldrea is a young Andalite. Daughter of the notorious Prince Seerow. It is only after she and her family are sent to the Hork-Bajirhome world that she begins to fight the Yeerks—and, with Dak's help, ultimately discovers their hideous plan.

Esplin 9466 is the Yeerk that will become the feared Visser Three. He has set out to defeat the Hork-Bajir, and begin the building of the Yeerk Empire.

This story chronicles the fierce Hork-Bajir wars in a time before the Animorphs.

The narrators for Aldrea and Dak Hamee took a little bit of getting used to, but I settled in soon enough. Getting used to Esplin's narrator took a lot longer, though. Esplin is referred to as "he" in one of the final chapters of the book. Most fans consider Esplin to be male because the only female host he ever took was [SPOILER ALERT]

Aldrea, and that was only barely and never got completed before Esplin's previous host pulled him out of Aldrea's ear at the last second. All of Esplin's other hosts, before that time and afterward, were male (his first Gedd, the two Hork-Bajir, and later Alloran). I guess Melissa Ellard (the producer) wanted to do something different just for the sake of being unexpected.

Unusual choice for Esplin's narrator

They used a female voice for a male character, one that has had a male voice actor in the past no less. The female sounding Yerk is a male in case you're reading this before hand.

This was a perfect 10/10 book. 10/10 voice actors, 10/10 Story, 10/10 Characters. Best money I have ever spent.

Great story! I love getting to see more of the animorphs universe from the perspectives of other aliens involved.

But I have to say that I did not realize Esplin was supposed to be male until they say so at the end of the story. Because of the VA choice for that character, the whole time I thought this was about another female antagonist from the series.

Overall I found myself having to listen to this at 1.25 speed because the rest of the voicing was done at a slower than usual cadence.

This was a great jump backwards into my childhood. The entire animorph catalogue is peak fiction. So happy to have this.

Extremely well produced.
