Leo discovers Calima, the forbidden, but holy temple of 'Semos', the first ape whom the apes revere as a god.Ĭalima turns out to be the remains of the Oberon which had crashed on the planet's surface and now looks ancient (the name Calima coming from the sign ' CAution LIve ani MAls', the relevant letters being the only ones not covered in dust). The murderous General Thade and his junior, Colonel Attar, march ape warriors to pursue the humans. Limbo, an orangutan trader in captured humans, sees them but is taken prisoner to ensure his silence. Leo escapes his cage and frees other humans. Ari decides to buy Leo and a female slave named Daena to have them work as servants in the house of her father, Senator Sandar.

Pericles's pod heads into the storm and disappears. With a deadly electromagnetic storm approaching the station, a small space pod piloted by Pericles is used to probe the storm. His favorite ape co-worker is a chimpanzee named Pericles. In 2029, aboard the United States Air Force space station Oberon, Leo Davidson works closely with apes who are trained for space missions.
