"A smartly realized extension of the story, one that is
genuinely engaging, infused with a solid sense of dread, and sets a
pretty exciting stage for "Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes." - The
Playlist
"A quick, entertaining read that will get you pumped up for
the new film." - Geeks of Doom
"Fans of the Planet of the Apes franchise will greatly enjoy this
book. Reading it right before going to see the new Dawn of the
Planet of the Apes film is an extra added bonus." - Geek Girl
Project
"Firestorm” is a great bridge between the Planet of the Apes
films." - Retrenders
"If you’re a fan of the Planet of the Apes franchise and the
rebooted series, then this is worth a read." - Pop Cults
"Keyes’ prose in Firestorm is lean and to-the-point, and sprinkled
with zoological and anthropological insights. But the book’s main
selling-point is its plotting, which juggles storylines that
accelerate quickly, as the world begins to fall apart." - The
Dissolve
"I thoroughly enjoyed the novel, and would recommend it for anyone
intending to see the movie." - Red Orbit
"Books that are tie-ins to movies don’t have the best track record,
but this as an exception, with great pacing, some deep character
building, and smart writing all around. Plus it’s got me hyped for
the next movie so from a marketing perspective I’d call that a
total success." - Ain’t It Cool
"An entertaining and engrossing read." - City of Films
"Entertaining and fast paced." - Horror Talk
"I read it in a single sitting just because I couldn’t stand to put
it down." - Comic Book Review
"An entertaining and engrossing read for fans of the series, giving
insight and empathy to the very moment when the Earth shifted back
from human to ape, and the conflict involved wherein." -
Examiner
"Firestorm is a worthy addition to the Planet of the Apes mythos
filled with figures you quickly develop an attachment to." - Den of
Geek
"To say that I enjoyed Dawn of the Planet of the Apes: Firestorm
would be a gross understatement. 5/5 stars." - SciFi
Mafia
"A rare treat. As a fan of the franchise, I can state that the
material which pre-existed is handled with reverence and care by
author Greg Keyes, and that which did not pre-exist is carefully
crafted, smartly written so that I can easily embrace the plot and
be entertained as well as emotionally invested." - Muggle Net
"I recommend it for any Planet of the Apes fans." - Agents of
Geek
"If you thought the first film was entertaining and wanted to know
a little more of the ‘Planet of the Apes’ mythos – I highly suggest
picking this one up!" - ScienceFiction.com
"More than a novelization, Firestorm is among the best movie tie-in
novels you’ll find. It is much more than a quick read, and
Keyes delves into social, political, and scientific issues in so
many ways to provide a story steeped in the morality tales of
classic science fiction, while carrying with it that wide scope of
action and excitement that readers want." - Borg.com
"One of Keyes' best works and could end up being better than the
film in a lot of readers' eyes." - BGG Magazine
