Author's Notes

Thanks everyone for all the reviews! I've really enjoyed writing this so far, although the last few chapters I found really difficult and had a huge case of writer's block!

Disclaimer: (yeah, yeah, yeah…) Most of what you read here is owned by K.A. Applegate – the Andalites, and Yeerks, the terminology. And of course Jake and co. But Sam, Philip, Ferdie, Asha and Maggie and any others you don't meet in the books are all mine. My creation, my guys, and I can do whatever I like with them. Hehe.

PS. I'm planning to do a Fan Art as the 'front cover' to this story, although I still haven't got round to doing the first one yet. When I do it should appear on Elfwood (see http/elfwood.lysator.liu.se/fanq/j/e/jennalo3/jennalo3.html) sometime (although god knows when I'll get round to it!). Will probably be Ferdie turning into the stag as I think that morph really suits him. Not sure yet. Any suggestions?

Thanks to:

Quillian: Hi! Thanks for all your reviews for far! Yes…I thought about them catching a plane too, but then that would make a very short and boring story. It would also be very much like Book 16 and we can't have that! Besides, I've something exciting planned for the next story and it can't take place on a plane! Hehe.

LittleMidgett – Thanks for your many reviews! I'm grateful! Probably wouldn't have bothered updated as much as I do otherwise!

Gryphinwyrm7 - Yeah, I think I worked it out at about ten-thousand miles in all. That's a long way. You didn't think it would be a quick two-day train journey, did you? This has got to fill four stories! Lol! Luckily, I've got something in mind. Got another story before that one first though!

Nea - Yeah, Philip's got a secret! You'll find out more in the third story. He'll be narrating, by the way.

In the Third Story:

The Assassin: When Sam is held prisoner on board a Yeerk infested ship, Philip must confront his past and take command of the group. But it soon becomes clear that there's someone else in the equation - and are they friend or foe?
