Greg Wise reads Pierre Boulle's chilling, iconic novel about a nightmare world where apes rule over men. In a spaceship that can travel at the speed of light, Ulysse, a journalist, sets off from Earth for the nearest solar system. He finds there a planet which resembles his own, except that on Soror humans behave like animals and are hunted by a civilised race of primates. Captured and sent to a research facility, Ulysse must convince the apes of their mutual origins. But such revelations have always been greeted by prejudice and fear...

The inspiration for several acclaimed cult films, Planet of the Apes is both a gripping, disturbing fable and a classic of science fiction.

I was amused during this tale and would recommend it. The reader is well spoken, even if the accent for apes is a little strange at times, very enjoyable.

Shockingly good

A great, fun and thoughtful story, well read. I found it very engaging. It makes you think about your humanity. And of course human kind’s treatment of animals and humans alike. How evolved are we really? If you’re a fan of the classic 1968 film this novel is both familiar and different enough to be thoroughly enjoyable.

Great!

Although dated this was wonderfully written and engaging. I listened to it non stop. Its also a cautionary tale of course... man takes nature for granted and one day....it will bite back. Highly recommend!!!

The original story and I loved it.

I really enjoyed this, it is so different to the film, showing the conclusion of the remake as the more accurate of the two films. This was just astonishing. And really performed well. Thank you!

Unexpected!
