"Applegate, Katherine A - Animorphs - 21 - The Threat" - читать интересную книгу автора (Applegate Katherine A)

And since that awful night when Prince Elfangor died at the hands of the
Yeerk leader, Visser Three, we have used those powers to fight them.

Sometimes we even win.

5 We found Elfangor's younger brother, Aximili. (We call him "Ax.") That
made six of us. And that was it. Five kids and one Andalite against the
might of the Yeerk Empire.

Just us six. Until . . .

Until David found the blue box. We assumed it had been destroyed. It hadn't.

Now, we had it hidden. But too late to stop the trouble that followed.

David found the box and bad things started happening. Bottom line: Both
his parents were taken by the Yeerks. They were infested with Yeerks.
They are both Controllers now.

What could we do? We had to use the blue box to make David one of us.
The sixth Ani-morph.

But the timing could not have been worse. We were just starting on what
would be our most vital mission.

The leaders of the United States, Japan, Russia, Germany, England, and
France were meeting in secret to try and work out the problems in the
Middle East.

We learned that one of those leaders was in fact a Controller. And we
knew that all the rest were targeted by the Yeerks.

The Yeerks were going to try to use the conference to infest the leaders
of the entire free world.

6 If we let that happen, that was the ball game. Earth was done for. We
had to try and stop it.

On our way to scope out the Marriott resort where the meeting was
supposed to happen, we saw a stealth-shielded Yeerk spacecraft kidnap
the President's helicopter. Or maybe it wasn't the actual President's
helicopter. It might have been a decoy.

Confused yet? Not as confused as we were.

The Yeerks stunned everyone on the chopper and then used holographic
projections to make it look like the helicopter was still flying along.
They dragged someone from the helicopter. Someone with a gash in the
bottom of his shoe.
