Plot Summary

The Animorphs have encountered some strange aliens in their time. Some are terrifying, some are helpful, and some are downright annoying. So when Guide the Iskoort makes a trip to Earth, it really isn't all that surprising. Nor is the fact that he's gotten himself into some trouble and wants the Animorphs to bail him out. And as always, there are more complications.

Guide has angered the Pythagi Conglomerate and now, his entire race is in danger of being exterminated by the Kelbrid. On top of this, Marco's memory loss is beginning to cause real problems, not only in his relationship with Jeanne. It has become a threat to his life as well. In order to rescue the entire Iskoort race from destruction, the Animorphs will have to go deep into enemy territory, to a planet controlled by those who want to destroy them…
