The Deception by K.A. Applegate

5.0

It's interesting when Ax ponders about human morality, and their changing of minds according to situation. Is he still willfully ignorant of Andalite hypocrisy? After so many accounts of his people causing him shame? I love Ax, and Elfangor was great, but I'm not very fond of Andalites. They have in most cases acted as major dicks.
This is it, folks. No more guerrilla warfare. This was the first open fight with human military involved. There's no going back now. Government must have been notified after that carnage. They have alien bodies and Bugfighters as evidence. Will the humanity start fighting back? And will Ax be able to come back from what he's done? Would he have gone through with it? He doesn't seem sure that it was just a bluff. How big is the blast from nuclear missile? It would have destroyed the whole town surely, and all the Animorphs families and friends. How about surrounding forest? Would the radiation reach the Hork-Bajir colony? Can his friends look at him the same after this? HOW THE HELL ARE THESE CONSIDERED CHILDREN'S BOOKS? I'm an adult and I'm traumatised.
