Planet of the Apes: Colony

By William T. Quick

A race of intelligent primates has made a distant world their home. Over the years their numbers have grown. And now, needing more room, the colony sends scouts into theunknown land beyond. But by venturing forward, the apes are encroaching upon hostile ground -- where creatures dwell that can rip an adult simian to pieces in less than an instant; monstrous reptilians whose incredible savagery isequaled only by their awesome brainpower. To venture into their midst is almost certain doom -- but to remain behind would be suicide. Because another foe is lurking in the shadows: the enemy called Man. And in the ruins of a crashed human starship a hideous melding of brain, flesh, and metal lives on -- waiting ... plotting ... refusing to die as long as a single ape draws breath on the planet.

Customer Reviews

Sequel to THE FALL is pretty good

Those who read PLANET OF THE APES: THE FALL might want to check this book out, since it continues the story. Like THE FALL, it is set in the Tim Burton movie continuity, but way before the events of that film. You see the apes in the early part of their history, as they colonize the planet, and deal with the conflicts that arise. The book is fast-paced. The story was interesting and the characterization is pretty good. The focus is much more on the apes this time. The content was toned down from THE FALL, which was nice. There is not nearly the amount of profanity. The left-wing elements were also not as strong. COLONY has more of a PG-13 feel. When THE FALL was published in 2002, it was said to be the first in a new series. So far there are only two books in the series and there doesn't appear to be any more coming. If another one was published I would read it.
