It's the battle that was bound to happen! The battle that will spark a new war between the ape nation and the collaborative ape-human resistance. But some allegiances -- and destinies -- are still left undefined. Will Attar, the once imposing military captain, return to Derkein to try to stop the bloodshed before it starts, even if it costs him his life? And, will Esau, the human rebel leader, stand at Seneca's side, or make an unpredictable move to bolster solely human forces, and rid the planet of their ape overlords...forever!?
