Animorphs Chronicles
The ''Animorphs Chronicles'' is a series of 4 books written by K. A. Applegate alongside the main series as a companion collection to detail the backstories of characters introduced in the series, and help explain and expand upon concepts that were briefly defined in the series, but, as the series is told from a human point of view, were limited in terms of what could only be explained through in-story dialogue. Four ''Chronicles'' books were published; '' The Andalite Chronicles'' in 1997, ''The Hork-Bajir Chronicles'' in 1998, ''Visser'' in 1999 (the only Chronicles book not to feature the words "the" or "chronicles" in its title), and ''The Ellimist Chronicles'' in 2000. The ''Chronicles'' books are unique amongst the ''Animorphs'' continuity in that they are told from previously largely unfamiliar aliens' perspectives, and not from one of the 5 main human points of view (nor Ax's, after being introduced), bar the beginning and end of ''The Hork-Bajir Chronicles'', which are n ...

Earth
Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life. While large volumes of water can be found throughout the Solar System, only Earth sustains liquid surface water. About 71% of Earth's surface is made up of the ocean, dwarfing Earth's polar ice, lakes, and rivers. The remaining 29% of Earth's surface is land, consisting of continents and islands. Earth's surface layer is formed of several slowly moving tectonic plates, which interact to produce mountain ranges, volcanoes, and earthquakes. Earth's liquid outer core generates the magnetic field that shapes the magnetosphere of the Earth, deflecting destructive solar winds. The atmosphere of the Earth consists mostly of nitrogen and oxygen. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere like carbon dioxide (CO2) trap a part of the energy from the Sun close to the surface. Water vapor is widely present in the atmosphere and forms clouds that cover most of the planet. More sola ...

The Beginning (Animorphs)
''The Beginning'' is the 54th and final book in the ''Animorphs'' series. Unlike other Animorphs books in the main series, but similar to the Megamorphs, all characters conduct narration instead of just one. Plot summary Continuing on immediately from '' The Answer'', Rachel attacks the Yeerks in control of the Blade ship, and kills Tom Berenson and his Yeerk, before being killed at the hands of his Yeerk allies shortly after; before she dies, the Ellimist briefly stops time to tell his own story to her and answer a question about her contribution to the war. As soon as her question is answered, Rachel dies. Tom's morph-capable Yeerks escape in the Blade Ship, abandoning the disabled Pool Ship to the Animorphs. Visser One, realizing that he is defeated, leaves Alloran-Semitur-Corrass's body after being knocked unconscious by Ax.
