BENEATH THE PLANET
OF THE APES
. . . in the buried ruins of what was once New York City, lived an incredible
race of men, mutated beyond belief by the effects of the ancient Holocaust.
. . . in the ashes of atomic dust, chimpanzees picketed for peace while their
gorilla leaders prepared for war.
. . . where a great church once shone in the sunlight, dark religious ceremonies
paid tribute to the Great Bomb, bringer of life and death.
This is the Earth, thousands of years from now, and this the story of two men
from the 20th century who somersaulted through a time warp into the most
plausible and yet most fantastic adventure ever conceived.
