Animorphs #24:
The SuspicionPlot:
Earth now as another alien invasion, this time by tiny little people called
Helmacrons. They believe Cassie stole their ship. Cassie thought it was just a toy, and
gave it to charity. But, not taking that as an answer, the Helmacrons unleash their own
weapon- the ability to convert matter into different sizes. So the Animorphs are shrunk,
but, on the bright side, so is Visser Three . . .
Comments:
Since this is a Cassie-book, I'll try to look on the bright side. There are some
interesting aspects on the reason behind the Yeerk's plan and on morphing that had
previously not been revealed. Umm . . . there are a new group of aliens that have been
introduced. Though it follows an interesting theory I once read (I believe it was Michael
Crighton's The Andromeda Strain) that perhaps if there was life on another
planet, it would advance by getting smaller and more efficient rather than getting larger
and more complex as it has for Earth, there isn't much you can do with the "tiny
aliens" thing. Of course it's one of those #-4 comedy books, but often instead of
being funny it was just weird. |
