This collection of Planet of the Apes novels includes both the classic movie novelizations from the 1960s and 1970s and original tie-in fiction from the early 2000s. The original Planet of the Apes (1963) by Pierre Boulle started the franchise, followed by novelizations of the sequel films.
The early 2000s entries, including Planet of the Apes: The Adult Novelization (2001), The Fall (2002), and Colony (2003), expanded the franchise with new stories set in the Apes universe. These books blend the established mythology with new characters and conflicts.
