Two years after Caesar lead his colony of nearly two-hundred to freedom, there still seems to be an ongoing battle between mankind and the apes that feels never-ending. Between cultural development amongst his tribe members and the constant looming threat of their tyrannical Hominidae cousins, Koba bears witness to everything with great disdain and anticipation as one of his right-hand advisers and council members. His king has liberated him from those awful labs, along with many others, and thus he follows him devotedly... but is their bond strong enough to overpower his hatred for man- especially when one is placed right at their front doorstep? After the thrilling conclusion to The Simian Forest Saga Volume I: Not Like You, we travel back to when it all began- before Slate raised Koba's spear to his brother's neck, before Krissa was thrown into their seemingly peaceful life and well before the triplets were even born. Enjoy the action-packed, chilling tale of Koba's past, recounting his internalized trauma and reliving the events which lead to the scars that litter his body, all whilst trying to adjust to his newly-found life and freedom.

"The rain grew colder, the canopy enamoured and blushing even deeper shades of auburn and gold. The tension was growing and the entirety of the large ape colony knew that it would snap at a moment's notice. They were all waiting-- waiting for something to crumble." Greed, tyranny, bloodlust, betrayal. Mankind has done nothing more than pollute and poison what is rightfully ours. After an entire reset of the food chain, man has all but disappeared, all thanks to a human-made virus called the Simian Flu. Apes around the globe, in turn, have become advanced both cognitively and externally, adapting their own form of sign language, as well as learning to speak. The year is 2029. Krissa may very well be the only survivor. Will she manage to weather the trials and tribulations that come with living deep within the Oasis? Proud winner of the Trident Awards
