"The Deception" is the forty-sixth book in the "Animorphs" series, written by K.A. Applegate. It is known to have been ghostwritten by Elise Smith. It is narrated by Ax.
Plot Summary
The Animorphs find out that the new Visser One (Esplin 9466) has a plan to conquer the world by a war between the most populated country (China) and the United States. The humans would exhaust their weapons and would not be able to retaliate. They steal an F-16 from an air base and fly out to sea to an aircraft carrier. They crash it into the sea so the Yeerks would not think they were being invaded. They infiltrate the ship and find Visser One and Visser Two, whose host is a high ranking officer in the army. The Yeerks find out that the Animorphs are on the ship. The Animorphs attack and Ax commandeers a Grumman F-14D Tomcat fighter loaded with a nuclear warhead, against Jake's decision, abducts Visser Two, and threatens to use the bomb to destroy the city along with the Yeerks. Visser Two is unable to call Ax's bluff (although even Ax himself is not sure if he was bluffing) and he surrenders.
