"Applegate, Katherine A - Animorphs - 05 - The Predator (3)" - читать интересную книгу автора (Applegate Katherine A)

Well, you can stop wondering. It's happened.
The Yeerks are parasites. They live in the
brains of other species
-
humans, for example.
They turn human beings into mindless slaves
-
human-Controllers.
So when I say that the aliens are here, don't go
looking around for some cute little thing like
E.t. You won't see the Yeerks. They are
parasitic worms, evil gray slugs that live in
the heads of
humans.
They can be in anyone. Your best friend. Your
favorite teacher. The mayor of your town. Your
brother. Sister. Mother. Father.
Anyone might be a Controller.
You
might be a
Controller.
So I won't tell you my last name. Or where I
live. But I will tell you the truth. The truth that
only the Animorphs know.
Animorph. Animal morpher. A human
capable of becoming any animal. It's our one
weapon
against the Yeerks. Our only power. Without it,
we're just five regular kids.
But with that power comes certain extra re
sponsibilities
...
as I was trying to explain to my
best friend, Cassie.
It was a Sunday night. It was late. The circus
had finished its last show. Their trailers and tents were
clustered around the back side of the big
City Arena. The Arena is a place where they hold
rock concerts and ice shows and play
basketball games. And where they have circuses.
"Look, we both saw what we saw," I told
Cassie. "Are you telling me it doesn't make
you mad? That jerk using a cattle prod on an
elephant doesn't make you mad?"
"Of course it does, Rachel," Cassie said.
"I
don't even like circuses."
"I don't, either. But my dad had tickets, and
it was our big once-every-other-week, father-and-
daughters thing. I had to come."
