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.

An incredible and gripping tale. A magical romp through the nature of man and beast. The Planet of the Apes is a social commentary on man, his beliefs, and his temporary place in the univerae.

Thrilling!

It’s sad that this story has never been told correctly and that most people will never know it.
Well worth the listen. It’s a great novel.
