Captured and sent to a research facility, Ulysse must convince the apes of their mutual origins. But such revelations will have always been greeted by prejudice and fear...

the great original
My first run-in with planet of the apes was with the films which I absolutely love. I then came across this book for which the original film is based on. Everything is more or less the same though there are certain key differences which is probably why it was still interesting to read even for those who have seen the film. More importantly the story is still great. I’ve had a physical copy and now the ebook copy. I look forward to re-reading this again at some point.
