[edit] Plot Summary

A free Hork-Bajir is captured by the Yeerks and involuntarily reveals the location of the Hork-Bajir valley. The Animorphs (most of them) morph beavers to make a dam to flush the Yeerks out of the valley. Just before the battle for the valley, several Star Trek fans (believing the Animorphs to be actual aliens) assist the Animorphs. One of them is killed as a result. Meanwhile, every other chapter consists of somewhat-related diary entries from Lt. Isaiah Fitzhenry, a distant relative of Jake's great-grandfather, who fought in the American Civil War.
