Author's Notes

Hey guys! That's so much for reading my fan fic – I hope you enjoyed it!

Sorry to leave you hanging at the end like that – I love the idea of a good cliff hanger!

There's going to be another three stories in this series, when I get round to writing them, as we follow the fugitive Animorphs across Britain, the Atlantic, and across America in search for Jake and co. I know this one was a bit hard going – a lot of information and not a huge amount of action. But it will be much more action packed in the next three I can assure you! My second story - The Confrontation - is now finished!

Disclaimer: (yeah, yeah, yeah…) Most of what you read here is owned by K.A. Applegate – the Andalites, and Yeerks, the terminology. And of course Jake and co. But Sam, Philip, Ferdie, Asha and Maggie are all mine. My creation, my guys, and I can do whatever I like with them. Hehe.

PS. Just in case the thought had ever crossed your mind… I'm planning to do a Fan Art as the 'front cover' to this story, it should appear on Elfwood (see http/elfwood.lysator.liu.se/fanq/j/e/jennalo3/jennalo3.html) sometime (although god knows when I'll get round to it!). Will probably be Samantha turning into the Lanner falcon, or maybe her greyhound. Not sure yet. Any suggestions?

Animorphs Fan Art Done! I have drawn Sam morphing into a lanner falcon. I have submitted it to Elfwood (address above) but as they take ages to be moderated it probably won't be up til September! So if you really want to see it, I've posted it on my MSN space at:

http/spaces. spaces, then 'Aizxana') Sorry about this - it's the only other place I can put pics. You'll have to traipse through loads of rubbish and boring stuff…(it's in My Art and Other Stuff) but if you have the time I'd love some reviews of it! (Oh, you have to have a Hotmail address to see it…damn these corporations!)

Thanks to:

LittleMidgett – I guess, no they probably wouldn't! So I've changed chapter 21 and 22 a little to make it a bit more likely! Thanks for that! And come to think of it, I'll probably draw Sam as the falcon.

Walkatdog – oops, I'm always making silly bloopers like that! Thanks for pointing that out, I think I've corrected it all now!

In the Second Story:

The Fugitives make their way across the mountains of Wales, but encounter more than the bargained for along the way.

You'll be seeing a lot more of Maggie, and will find out a little more about Philip's reluctance to being the leader. They'll be new morphs, and adventures and lots of hilarious antics from the lovely Flawless, who'll be narrating the next one.
