The original novel that inspired the films!
First published more than fifty years ago, Pierre Boulle’s chilling novel launched one of the greatest science fictionsagas in motion picture history.
In the not-too-distant future,three astronauts land on what appears to be a planet just like Earth, with lush forests,a temperate climate, and breathable air. But while it appears to be a paradise, nothingis what it seems.
They soon discover the terrifying truth: On this world humansare savage beasts, and apes rule as their civilized masters. In an ironic novel ofnonstop action and breathless intrigue, one man struggles to unlock the secret ofa terrifying civilization, all the while wondering: Will he become the savior ofthe human race, or the final witness to its damnation? In a shocking climax thatrivals that of the original movie, Boulle delivers the answer in a masterpiece ofadventure, satire, and suspense.
