A new independently-published book about the Planet of the Apes films is now available. The 322-page Timeline of the Planet of the Apes, by Rich Handley, is described as ‘the definitive unauthorised chronology’ and is released to coincide with the franchise’s 40th anniversary.
As fans of the movies and TV series will know, Planet of the Apes continuity is complicated and at times appears to be contradictory – this book aims to sort out the mess! Even the cartoon series is included.
