Product Description:
The starship Oberon is searching for its AWOL pilot when it crash-lands on an unknown planet, leaving all but a handful of its crewmembers dead. And those who remain are not alone in this strange, inhospitable world. A savage insectile race waits just below the surface, massing to obliterate the unwanted invaders. And the Oberon's last human survivors must look to unlikely allies for help: the apes they carried onboard. Using controversial gene technology, the starship's scientists hope to transform the primates into a powerful army -- strong, agile, subservient...and intelligent. But the consequences of playing God promise to be more devastating than anyone could have ever anticipated, ushering in a dark and terrifying future that will pit slave against master, ape against Man.

So far, this is a good book, but I had to write a pre-mature review saying that it makes me cringe every time the author calls the apes "monkeys." I'm not sure he's done his scietific research to write these novels.

This is a very interesting book. It digs into the past of the recent ape movie. However, were the ideas was fresh it failed to hold my interest. It got receptive and long.
It's pretty good but I personally think it should have been gone though by the publisher a few more times.

As a boy in 1968 I had the pleasure of experiencing the "Planet of the Apes" phenomena first hand. I remember playing "Planet of the Apes" with my childhood friends. We would chase and capture each other as we took turns playing ape and marooned astronaut. I even remember collecting all the "Planet of the Apes" trading cards -- fond memories.
Consequently when I came across the book "Planet of the Apes: The Fall" when browsing I uncharacteristically purchased it on a whim. Unfortunately ... Read More

I was elated to see that someone attempted to write a new series of the movie, which to me, was somewhat of a let down.
Now, the book had a great idea in many different levels, but poor characters made it drag.
Just in my personal opinion, the apes were not written well, and most of the characters were not likeable, except the two brothers of human and ape mixed ancestry.
That was the best part of the novel, the human boy and his ape brother getting along, then separating at the end.

I was very impressed with this book. It is based upon Tim Burton's PLANET OF THE APES (POTA) film of 2001, which I really liked. THE FALL explains what happened to the Oberon space station that we see in the beginning. It adds much to explaining the backstory of the movie.
It's really cool. Mr. Quick does a good job with his characters as they are easily distinguished from each other. The writing is above average. A clear writing style and it is fast paced.
