Will, My award winning suggestion for this discrepancy (it bagged me a
Medicom Greatest Ape!) was that Caesar may have only been known by that
name privately - and that on his papers, the ones that are shown to the
guards
at the heliport and to Kolp and Breck - PERHAPS there was another name, a
public or stage name like "MARVELO the performing chimp".

He was the top act for Armando's circus so maybe Breck was looking for
'Marvelo - the performing chimp' and not Caeser?

feeble but possible.

Makes sense to me! Good job winning the Greatest Ape!

Hi Dan,
It's nice to be back on the Planet of the Apes! I feel like quoting
Taylor's soliloquy from the beginning of PA68, but I'll refrain!

Thanks for the article on Tagawa. It was great to see the photos of
him now as well. Tagawa carried himself well as Krull, the noble
warrior silverback. I'm glad that my first post back on this group
after a long hiatus is on the subject of PA01. It is hard to
generate much interest in that ape world among POTA fans, and you
have to search hard for the good bits. I hope to find some readers
here of the POTA novels based on the 2001 movie. Those novels placed
some meat on Tim Burton's movie's meager bones, and are worth a try.
I recently read through "Leo's Logbook: A Captain's Days in
Captivity", and am just starting to re-read Colony. I am getting
much more out of it the second time around.

They actually were going to write TWO more?...I didn't think there

Hi Glen,
You're quite right. The acting was poor, mostly due to the flat
script as well as some poor casting. No character development, and
no reason to care whether the lead roles lived or died. That's a
recipe for a bad movie. There's no doubt that PA01 was a squandered
opportunity to revisit the Apes saga. I like The Fall a lot, but I
agree that I engaged with it more as a good SF novel than a POTA
book. The Fall was a great SF horror story, and lots of spine-
tingling suspence. Colony is a weird book. I honestly don't know
what to make of it, but I do find the story compelling to read. My
dilemma with Colony is that there are no likeable characters. Even
the "hero" of the tale is bad to the bone.

I gather that Harper Collins has absolutely no intention of
completing the POTA novels that it commissioned. They cancelled
books 3 and 4 of the novella series before they came to fruition. I
have tried to contact both of the advertised authors (Bright and
Whitman) about whether they had actually written the two remaining
books prior to their cancellation, but I had no luck in either case.

So, it would seem that they managed to tame the dinosaur planet in a
span of only a few hundred years. In that time, the humans of the
Oberon developed into two tribes: the Teks and the Wildings,

Hi Glen,
I think I know what's going on. We're talking different novels!
There were five PA01 tie-in novels:
1) POTA, movie novelization, W. Quick
2) POTA: The Fall, W. Quick
3) POTA: Colony, W. Quick
4) POTA: Force, John Whitman
5) POTA: Resistance, John Whitman

All five were published by Harper Collins, but the last two were
done through their "junior novel" series. They were about 100 pp.
each, and illustrated with nifty graphics, and trading cards. John
Whitman also writes similar series of novellas for Harper's Star War
series. They are a must have. They are readily available on
Amazon.com. In Toronto, I have found them in those giant bookseller
overstock places. It looks like no one bought these books, so they
are not hard to get. Force and Resisitance take place 12 years
before Leo Davidson's crash, and give you histories of all of the
