"If youre 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 books 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 dont have the best track record, but this as an exception, with great pacing, some deep character building, and smart writing all around. Plus its got me hyped for the next movie so from a marketing perspective Id call that a total success." - Aint It Cool

"An entertaining and engrossing read." - City of Films

"Entertaining and fast paced." - Horror Talk

"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 youll 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
