ANIMORPHS #49 |
STORY | BOOKS | CHARACTERS
SUMMARY
The Yeerks are finally starting to realize that the "Andalite bandits" are probably not aliens at all. They're finally starting to realize that maybe they've been dealing with humans all along. And no one - especially the newly appointed Visser One - is happy with this knowledge. Not happy at all.
When Tobias, the other Animorphs, and Ax realize that the Yeerks are about to find them, its by accident. But that doesn't make the discovery any less serious. Because in a war, one side wins. And one side loses...

TRIVIA
- A fan favourite, Loren makes a surprise return here from The Andalite Chronicles. Look out for another character close to Elfangor, from the same book, to make a significantly important appearance in #53: The Answer.
- Their secret identities are finally out in this book, something which the Animorphs feared and carefully guarded from the very beginning.
- ANIBASE: The author of this book had this story to share about a particularly memorable scene from The Diversion:
"Near the end of the book, when they charge through the toy store, Marco the gorilla jumps on a scooter and flies through the store. When I wrote the book, those little razor scooters hadn't jumped onto the scene yet. I was thinking of the old scooters you'd see in Leave it to Beaver or Little Rascals, and I imagined this scooter in this toy store being totally retro. But by the time the book was published, razor scooters were the big rage, so it turned out that I was almost cutting edge! It's one of the few times in my writing career where my timing has been perfect."

CHARACTERS
ANIBASE: Introduced as a teenage girl in The Andalite Chronicles, we meet a very different grown up Loren in this book. After an accident rendered her blind and without her memories, she was deemed incapable of raising her son and eventually she went to live by herself in a run down neighborhood with her eye seeing dog, Champ. Now that she's morphed, the natural healing power of the morphing technology has made her capable of sight. Unfortunately, morphing doesn't repair memories as she still doesn't remember Tobias, and never will.
