Biography[]
Leo Davidson is an astronaut in Earth-orbit who in his ship accidentally falls through a vortex to another world inhabited by talking bipedal apes who enslave him. Leo escapes from slavery alongside other native humans and plans to try and return to Earth. Leo encounters and befriends Ari, a high-ranking female chimpanzee, who helps him.
Leo makes it to his downed ship which he was separated from in the vortex. The ship landed thousands of years prior, thanks to the vortex, the apes on board escaping and creating the current ape society. Leo leads a human rebellion against the apes; as the fighting continues, another Earth ship descends into the battle, which is a podship that was following closely after Leo's ship into the vortex.
The podship contains a trained chimpanzee from Leo's time which the current talking apes interpret as the return of their God-creator, Semos. Hostilities between humans and apes cease, Leo gives the chimpanzee to Ari and takes off in the newly arrived podship, piloting it through the same electromagnetic storm that brought him there. Leo ends up crashing in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., on Earth in what he believes to be his own time. As Leo realizes the memorial is of General Thade, ape police officers surround him.
