Apes Story: Caesar's Journey

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Planet of the Apes franchise, a unique and one-of-a-kind chronicle has been created: an illustrated life story of Caesar, the brave and extraordinary leader of the apes, as told by his best friend, Maurice. After the events of War for the Planet of the Apes, Caesar's tribe has finally found a safe refuge from the last remnants of the humans who wish to see them wiped out. Sadly, Caesar passes away before he can witness the apes thriving and prospering in their new home. As a gift to Caesar's son, Cornelius, Maurice decides to recount and chronicle Caesar's story so that his son can truly understand the uniqueness and bravery of his father, and be inspired in turn.

Caesar's Story is this chronicle, which follows the journey of Caesar from his earliest days under the care of scientist Will Rodman, to his life with the ape colony in Muir Woods after the outbreak of the Simian Flu, his interactions with Malcolm and Ellie, the dangerous ape Koba, and his ultimate battle with and imprisonment by the vicious and unstable Colonel. The book also delves into the events that transpired in-between the events of Rise and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, as well as the events between Dawn of and War for the Planet of the Apes.

The book includes Maurice's personal thoughts and reflections on his long-standing companionship with Caesar, as well as contributions from several other key apes who knew Caesar intimately. Through these accounts, readers are offered a truly comprehensive and immersive experience, celebrating the new Planet of the Apes trilogy and the franchise as a whole.

This illustrated narrative is a testament to the enduring legacy of Caesar, the brave and extraordinary leader of the apes, and serves as a heartfelt tribute to the rich storytelling and character development that has defined the Planet of the Apes franchise over the past 50 years. It is a must-read for both longtime fans and newcomers to the series, providing a unique and insightful perspective on the apes' struggle for freedom and the profound impact of Caesar's life and leadership.
