[quote=Captain Jordan] For a science fiction book, it didn't seem to understand a lot about science fiction fans. Note that Trekkies are not automatically delusional, tinfoil hat-wearing, paranoid, tabloid-combing, conspiracy theorists who believe that Star Trek not only real, but is taking place in our timeline. Any serious Trekkie realizes that Star Trek is a of Earth, not a contemporary, and so it would be impossible to meet an alien species now that is part of a Trek-like Federation. Also, Jake just randomly decides to expose their morphing powers? So the campers, those who remain after the book, are just set free to wander and tell anyone they like? Jake even reasons himself that a Controller will eventually hear from them, and one will probably be infested, interrogated and the Animorphs discovered. That was the move in the entire book series thus far. What's worse, is nothing happens. The campers disappear into thin air and the plot never resurfaces again. That's how you know the story is bad, when Applegate refuses to reference it again. Thankfully, she's back to writing the books full time a couple books later.
