Dawn of the Planet of the Apes: The Official Movie Novelization

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Thanks first to Pierre Boulle, of course, for the story that we’re all still riffing on fifty years later; to Charlton Heston and Roddy McDowell and the rest of the cast of the first movie, for bending my head when I saw it on a Saturday afternoon Creature Feature; to Cath Trechman, Steve Saffel, and Alice Nightingale at Titan, for bringing me in and for perspicacious reading; to Josh Izzo at Fox, for answering some key questions at key times; to Michael Erard, for a fascinating conversation about language over beers one night; and to everyone involved in Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, for giving me so much to work with. I hope everyone enjoys reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it.
