Bookroo's summary

Ax, an Andalite warrior-cadet, is stranded on Earth after his ship is destroyed by the Yeerks. Teaming up with the Animorphs, he seeks revenge against Visser Three, the alien responsible for his brother's death. As they fight to protect Earth from the Yeerk invasion, Ax must navigate the challenges of being an alien in a strange world. Can he balance his quest for vengeance with the need to protect his new friends? The stakes are high, and the battle for survival is just beginning.

From the publisher

What would you do if you were the only alien trapped on a strange planet? Probably freak out, right? Well, that’s what Ax feels like doing. But as an Andalite warrior-cadet, he has to be pretty cool about stuff like that. He’s been hanging out with the Animorphs ever since the Dome ship was destroyed by the Yeerks and his brother, Prince Elfangor, was destroyed by Visser Three.
