They tie into the brain. Like you or me accessing a computer with a
keyboard. They can see all of your memories. They know all of your
thoughts. All.

And they can control you utterly and cornpletely. They move your hands.
They move your feet. They aim your eyes and tilt your head and make that
familiar smile everyone knows is yours alone.

We call them Controllers. The slaves of the Yeerks. The Hork-Bajir
people were the Yeerks' first great alien conquest. Then they
infiltrated the Taxxons. They have had skirmishes with a dozen other
species. But now they are after their greatest prize: Homo sapiens.

Humans. Humans, with fingers more delicate and capable than any Taxxon
or Hork-Bajir or Gedd. Humans, who could be fed almost anything, unlike
the bark-eating Hork-Bajir or the eternally ravenous, cannibalistic
Taxxons. Humans, who exist in numbers far greater than all those species
combined.

We are the perfect host bodies. Not as dangerous as a Hork-Bajir can be,
but infinitely more adaptable.

4 Billions of unaware, skeptical human beings. We look, to the Yeerks,
like Aztec gold looked to Cortes. We could be the solution to all their
problems. We could give them the sheer numbers to explode from Earth and
ravage every other species in existence.

Fighting against this invasion are the Andalites. Outnumbered,
outgunned, unprepared. Like firemen trying to put out a firestorm that
leaps from building to building, the Andalites try to outsmart and
outfight the Yeerks.

Sometimes they win. Other times . . .

The Andalites came to Earth to crush the Yeerk invasion. Instead they
were destroyed. Ax, our friend Aximili-Esgarrouth-lsthill, made it to
Earth and survived to join us.

His brother, Prince Elfangor, also made it to Earth. Knowing he was
about to die, he gave us the ultimate prize of Andalite technology: the
power to morph. The ability to touch any living animal, absorb its DNA,
and then to literally become that animal.

And who is "us"? Me. My best friend, Rachel. Jake, our very cute and
very fearless leader. Marco, Jake's best friend. Ax the Andalite. And
Tobias.

Tobias is living the downside of morphing. See, there's a two-hour
limit. If you stay in morph longer than that, you stay permanently.
