I'm currently stuck in the middle of the uneasy, vacuous no-man's-land between final draft and publication, so <I>any</I> feedback is much appreciated - even more so when someone has so many nice things to say about the book! Right now, the plan is for the rest of the series to be released at four-month intervals, which means that <I>Contact</I> is due out here in October... which means that I really should get on with writing it - one last ghostwriting project to get through, and then it's all systems go. As for the <I>Animorphs</I> thing... it would be pretty hard to overstate how much of a K.A. Applegate junkie I was in junior high school. Kids turning into animals to fight aliens? Sold. That was everything I was looking for in a story, right there. Thanks Alistair!
