It's the Andalites who invented the morphing technology. Only they have
it. Only they can take an otherwise normal creature and give him the
power to become any creature.

Yeah, now I'm talking about aliens. Crazy and crazier, right?

But that part's true, too. Earth is being

3 invaded. Not openly, not with Dracon beams blazing and quantum
explosives going off. That would be counterproductive. That's how humans
might do it: fast and hard and obvious.

But the Yeerks aren't like us. They don't want our land or our
resources. They don't want our pitiful, backward technology.

They want us. Us. Or at least our bodies.

They want our legs and hands. They want our ears and mouths. They want
our eyes.

In their natural state, Yeerks are slugs who live in a liquid pool and
absorb Kandrona rays for food. But evolution played an interesting trick
with the Yeerks. Slowly, over the course of millennia, they grew to be a
parasite species.

They found the Gedds, another species on the Yeerk home world. And over
time they learned to penetrate into the very brain of the Gedds.

Gross? Weird? There's a species of wasp that lays its eggs in the living
body of a caterpillar. When the wasps are born, they feed on the
caterpillar. They eat the living caterpillar alive from the inside.

That's on good old Earth. So what's weird?

Anyway, the Yeerks expanded. From Gedds to Hork-BajirtoTaxxons to ... us.

Now they are here. And now they are taking over human hosts, entering
their brains, controlling them, rendering them utterly helpless.

4 I know. I was a Controller. I'd still be a Controller, except that my
friends saved me and starved the Yeerk to death.

Not the first Yeerk death on my hands. Not the last.

We fight this war almost alone, me and my friends. We've learned of a
race of androids called the Chee who help us from time to time. We've
learned that not all Yeerks agree with the policy of expansion
throughout the universe. And we know that off in space, outnumbered,
outgunned, are the Andalites, fighting to push back the Yeerk tide.
