Search Worlds Without End

The fantastic adventures of astronauts Alan Virdon and Pete Burke, accidentally time-warped 1000 years into the future -- to the Planet of the Apes...

Of Zaius, head of the Council of Apes, who forbids any knowledge of mankind's long dead civilization....

Of Urko, gorilla leader, who hates all humans and vows death to those who claim superiority....

Of peace-loving Galen, who could forgive Zaius' fear of knowledge -- but not his hatred of humans nor his vengeance upon the two men who carry the secrets of the past.

Contains the novellizations of the episodes "The Cure" and "The Good Seeds".

"Savages, they're nothing but savages!"
"They must be caught and punished!"
"They must be taught their place!"
"They must be obliterated like the plague!"

So began the reign of terror. Humans, already enslaved, were now to be exterminated. The Dragoons, a band of vicious apes, swore to drive the humans from their land, burn their huts, murder their children, and imprison the last sorry survivors in the Forbidden Zone.

Only Galen, Virdon and Burke stood between the doomed humans and their terrible fate. Only they could expose the Dragoons and their dangerous secret. Only they could keep the apes from destroying an entire race and every remnant of their dead civilization.

But in this desert of brutality, small flames of reason and kindness still flickered. An ape doctor and a frightened blind female become the unwitting aides of human salvation....

Contains the novellizations of the episodes "The Surgeon" based on the teleplay by Barry Oringer, and, "The Deception" based on the teleplay by Anthony Lawrence and Joe Ruby and Ken Spears.

THE DEADLIEST CHOICE OF ALL -- A SINGLE HUMAN LIFE... OR THE SECRET OF THE AGES

The ancient projector cranks into motion. The old reel begins to unwind. Civilization, human civilization lives. Its secrets unfold before astonished eyes.

Then the rusty, outdated machine grinds to a halt. The secrets will remain secrets forever.

Unless the machine can be made to work. Only two men have the key, only two men can empower the machine that will unlock the mysteries of the ages.

But a vicious band of bloodthirsty gorillas have seized one of them. The other's choice is simple: the machine or the man, the sum total of scientific knowledge or the life of a friend!

Contains the novellizations of the episodes "The Legacy" and "The Horse Race".

Take two astronauts time-warped 1000 years into the future to find Human civilization destroyed and the Apes in control - and you have a terrifying vision of what the world may someday be like.

The Orangutans rule.

The clever Chimpanzees are the administrators and the bureaucrats.

The powerful and brutal Gorillas staff the military and police.

And Humans are enslaved.

Only the astronauts Burke and Vurdon and the companion Galen are free in this savage world. But theirs is the freedom of perpetual fugitives...
