Goodreads review by James on August 20, 2017

Sensational novelization of Matt Reeve’s heartbreaking, epic masterpiece “War for the Planet of the Apes”, based on the outstanding screenplay by Mark Bomback and Matt Reeves.

“Greg Cox is one of the most prolific, and successful, authors of media tie-in novels.”

io9 on the author

“Almost certainly one of the best tie-novelists out there.”

Wondrous Reads on the author

“I can’t stress enough how emotionally invested I’ve been in the travails of Caesar and his troop of super intelligent simian comrades over the course of this trilogy. In this final installment of the rebooted franchise, Caesar’s family is killed by the ape-hating Colonel Kurtz-esque leader of the human forces (Woody Harrelson), and Caesar must choose between exacting revenge or leading his friends to safety. ‘Apes together strong.’”
