SUMMARY

David, the "sixth Animorph," is back. When the Animorphs and Ax decided to give another human being the power to morph, it was one their biggest mistakes. David tried to destroy all of them - and almost succeeded. Rachel and the others thought they'd seen the last of him when they trapped David as a nothlit. Leaving him on a deserted island to live out his days as a rat... They were wrong. Rachel knows what a threat David is. He's cunning and dangerous. Worst of all, he knows their secrets. Now he's captured Rachel as part of his plan to take over everything. David wants power. Money. But more than anything, he wants revenge...

TRIVIA

A highly anticipated book by the fans, David finally returns here after 24 books, having his supposedly last appearance in #22: The Solution. Crayak's interest in Rachel is fully played out here as he tries to bring her to his side by giving her ultimate raw power. This storyline begins as early as #6: The Capture when Crayak (known only as Big Red Eye at the time) notices Jake when his Yeerk dies, and it isn't until #26: The Attack when Crayak comes to have a new found hate for Jake after his Howler race has been destroyed. Crayak then tries to kill Jake in Megamorphs #3: Elfangor's Secret, but yet again, fails. Crayak, from that point on, then sets his sights on Rachel to get to Jake, and uses his minion The Drode to do the job. The Drode then makes a brief appearance in the next book #27: The Exposed and yet again in Megamorphs #4: Back to Before, however, it isn't until here that they finally try to persuade Rachel into betraying Jake, in favour of giving her the power to defeat Visser Three. The fate of David at the end of this book is debated by many fans over and over, as it is left open to speculate. Either ending is possible in its own way and neither are confirmed nor denied by K.A. The ending is, however, briefly touched upon again by Cassie in #50: The Ultimate when they begin to discuss recruitment. There, Rachel is immediately against the idea and reminds them of David. Cassie (to herself) acknowledges the history they had with David, including the events that unfolded here in this book with Rachel and David, but she too is unsure about whether Rachel had killed him in the end or not, and speculated that it is something that Rachel would never tell her either. ANIBASE: The cover of this book features Rachel becoming "Super Rachel", a hyped up version of herself. To create Super Rachel, cover artist David Mattingly hired a female body-builder to pose for the body, then he pasted an image of the Rachel model's face on top of it!
