Spoiler question about a brilliant tactic Ax uses in this alternate timeline book that he doesn't use in the prime Animorphs timeline.
[spoiler]At the start, the Drode offers Jake a deal: The Crayak can undo Jake et al ever going through that construction site to become Animorphs! Jake, traumatized by the long war, agrees, but in his mental exhaustion, he forgets to specify that the Crayak prevent the Yeerks from coming to Earth! PP 106-7: Ax appears on a TV station, but is quickly removed. PP 135-136: Ax appears on all stations except Channel 7, and is able to stay on long enough to summarize the whole Yeerk infiltration situation. Why didn't Ax ever try that tactic in the prime Animorphs timeline? [/spoiler]
