War for the Planet of the Apes: Revelations
by Greg Keyes
This novel picks up immediately after the last movie (Rise). The Apes find themselves in San Francisco and are worried about attacks from other humans that were contacted previously. They hunker down at key points, including the Bay Bridge and wait for the humans to arrive. Sure enough, a large ship comes into the Bay and conflict starts.
In this novel, we meeting the Human Commander, McCollugh, and his team. Among his team is his son and several other key members who we get to know a bit. The Commander is focused on eliminating the threat of these 'talking apes' understanding that there is a pivot in history that must be stopped.
Caesar knows that he is about to be in a vice, so he sends the females and children of the tribe back to the woods and then sends his son, Blue Eyes and Rocket to the south in order to find a possible new location for everyone.
Caesar's plans are disrupted from within, however and he finds himself on the defensive for most of the novel. He continually brings new challenges to his human foes, however and the novel sets several story lines in motion that are played out in the movie War for the Planet of the Apes.
In all, I really enjoyed the novel as it provides insights into characters and ideas that the movies don't have time to address. Specifically we get to know Blue Eyes, Rocket and Caesar's wife along with answering the question 'Why are there Apes on both sides of the conflict as it is portrayed on the Movie posters.'
