Beautifully tragic

I've been waiting for this one since I started listening to the entire series in order. I remember reading this book as a kid and thinking how tragic it was for Marco. This is one of the most tragic moments in the series, a series known for being surprisingly tragic and dark. And Ramón did a fantastic job portraying that.

Character voices

Ramon did a great job of voicing the various Animorphs pretending to be Andalites. His voice of Rachel morphed as Jara Hamee (male Hork-Bajir) was good, too. However, his voice for Tobias as Ket Halpek (female Hork-Bajir) didn't seem quite right. maybe he and the director didn't know that Tobias was morphed as a female Hork-Bajir.

Great Storytelling

As always, another great title that explores difficult decisions in extreme circumstances. War is never easy and the author and narrator do a great job of c9nveying that to the listeners.
