War for the Planet of the Apes Prequel Book Coming

New book bridges the gap between Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and War for the Planet of the Apes

Put up your paw if you’re excited about Caesar’s triumphant return in this summer’s hotly-anticipated War for the Planet of the Apes, the third in the awesome, revamped Planet of the Apes franchise, following 2014’s brilliant Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

Written in close collaboration with the film team, the story — told ONLY in this novel — should get every hardcore Apes freak’s pulse pounding. We know ours is!

Meanwhile supporters of Koba’s revolt are spreading dissent among Caesar’s ranks…
