"The Andalite Chronicles" is a science-fiction novel, and is the second companion book to the "Animorphs" series, written by K. A. Applegate. Within the timeline of the series, this book takes place before the first book in the series, "The Invasion". The book was published in late 1997, and was followed the next year by the second companion book in the "Chronicles" series, "The Hork-Bajir Chronicles".

Plot summary

Takes place before and leading up to the events in "The Invasion". It is narrated by Elfangor-Sirinial-Shamtul, or, as he is later known, Prince Elfangor. It begins with him uploading his memory into the computer before facing Visser Three at the abandoned construction site. The rest of the book is then a flashback of Elfangor's personal history, beginning with him as an "Aristh", a warrior in training, and ending with him at the construction site.

Elfangor and his fellow "aristh" Arbron rescued two humans from the Skrit Na: Loren and Hedrick Chapman. They were assigned to return them to Earth under the leadership of a disgraced War-Prince, Alloran-Semitur-Corrass. However, upon realizing the Skrit Na were in possession of the mythical Time Matrix, they were forced to go after it. Arbron became trapped as a Taxxon, and Elfangor became responsible for Alloran's infestation. Eventually, Elfangor, Alloran and the Yeerk controlling him, and the humans fell into a black hole. They were forced to use the Time Matrix to escape, which took them to a fragmented universe created from Elfangor, Loren, and the Yeerk (now Visser Thirty-Two)'s memories. Elfangor and Loren were able to escape to Earth, where he permanently morphed a human and stayed in that form. He married Loren some time later, but just before she gave birth to Tobias, the Ellimist repaired Elfangor's "timeline" and returned him to the Andalite homeworld. Elfangor went on to become a great Andalite hero, leading to the events of the first Animorphs book, where Visser Thirty Two, (Esplin 9466) having somehow escaped the collapsing universe, has been promoted to Visser Three.
