Der offizielle Prequelroman zum brandneuen Film "Planet der Affen: Revolution" schließt die Lücke zwischen den Ereignissen von "Planet der Affen: Prevolution" und denen der lang erwarteten Fortsetzung. Caesar und sein Gefolge entkamen den Klauen der Menschen und kämpften sich ihren Weg über die Golden Gate Bridge, um im Redwood-Nationalpark - auch bekannt als Muir-Wald - Zuflucht zu suchen und Frieden und Ruhe zu finden. Dort begannen sie, sich eine neues Zuhause aufzubauen, weit weg von der Spezies, die sie so schrecklich misshandelte ... Jetzt hat die Menschheit Schlimmeres zu befürchten als einen Vergeltungsschlag durch die Affen. Die "Affen-Grippe" breitet sich rasend schnell an der ganzen Westküste der USA aus. In San Francisco fallen ihr in kürzester Zeit Abertausende zum Opfer. Die Epidemie ist nicht mehr aufzuhalten ... Der Untergang der Menschheit und ein Wettkampf gegen die Zeit hat begonnen. Rettung bieten nur die Affen, angeführt von Caesar, die sich bald einer heimtückischen Jagd durch die Menschen gegenübersehen ... Doch aus Gejagten können auch Jäger werden!

“A wonderful tale . . . It crackles with suspense and excitement from start to finish.”—Terry Brooks Two thousand years ago, the Born Queen defeated the Skasloi lords, freeing humans from the bitter yoke of slavery. But now monstrous creatures roam the land—and destinies become inextricably entangled in a drama of power and seduction. The king’s woodsman, a rebellious girl, a young priest, a roguish adventurer, and a young man made suddenly into a knight—all face malevolent forces that shake the foundations of the kingdom, even as the Briar King, legendary harbinger of death, awakens from his slumber. At the heart of this many-layered tale is Anne Dare, youngest daughter of the royal family . . . upon whom the fate of her world may depend. Praise for The Briar King “Starts off with a bang, spinning a snare of terse imagery and compelling characters that grips tightly and never lets up. . . . A graceful, artful tale from a master storyteller.”—Elizabeth Haydon, bestselling author of Prophecy: Child of Earth “The characters in The Briar King absolutely brim with life. . . . Keyes hooked me from the first page,and I’ll now be eagerly anticipating sitting down with each future volume of the Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone series.”—Charles de Lint, award-winning author of Forests of the Heartand The Onion Girl “A thrill ride to the end, with plenty of treachery, revelation, and even a few bombshell surprises.”—Monroe News-Star (LA)
