Product Description
Anything that could have possibly gone wrong since The Human War did. The human rebel Esau and the ape leader Seneca are facing a trial for crimes against the ape state. Once triumphant, they now await a hangman's noose. Never in their wildest dreams did they think they would be rescued mere seconds from certain death by the once great gorilla warrior, Attar! But Attar has an ulterior motive. Usually reclusive, he has received a cryptic message that could finally lead him to his friend, the long-disappeared chimp, Ari. Soon hunted by the implacable Commander Kharim, Esau, Seneca, and Attar head deep into the uncharted wilds where they find a besieged outpost of apes and humans, masters and servants, fighting side by side in a battle with a primal, ancient evil...one that reveals the dark side to the origins of ape and human alike!
From the Publisher
Planet of the Apes writer Ian Edginton brings a world of intriguing experience to his role as the writer of some of the top comics and graphic novels available today. The Birmingham, England native wasn't always a major player in the world of four-color storytelling, but he's led a colorful life, nevertheless. After spending a few years of his young adult life as a landscape gardener and dog groomer, the articulate Brit pursued other endeavors. Edginton entered the world of environmental activism as the public relations director for a wildlife agency and moonlighted as a freelance writer for underground film and indie music magazines, which he later went on to edit. The eclectic Edginton's knack for writing was clear from the start, and his fascination with science fiction and storytelling eventually led him to explore the world of comic books. Now, Edginton is an Eisner Award-nominated writer, and a creative contributor to some of the hottest comics and graphic novels of recent years including Marvel's Blade and X-Force, DC's Batman, and Dark Horse's Aliens, Star Wars, Predator, and Planet of the Apes books. He's also written a children's book and dabbles in television and radio work in his native England.
