Review # 1 was written on 2011-06-30 00:00:00 Christi Siebenthal The final part of his trilogy about what happens after the T2 movie, basically staying true to the James Cameron films but pretending that T3 and 4 never happened. This one begins with John, Sarah and Dieter hiding out in Alaska, unaware that Skynet has become sentient. When the dept of defence starts turning all military power over to Skynet, they realise the plan has gone wrong and are powerless to stop Judgement Day. The story follows what happens next, and neatly closes the time travel circle. My only disappointment was that you don't get to find out how Dieter becomes the model for the original Terminator; it doesn't look like there are any other books in this series so I guess we're not going to. A good fast read with lots of quotes from the movies - ""Come with me if you want to live"" and of course ""I'll be back.""

Review # 2 was written on 2017-07-01 00:00:00 James Ritenour Good continuation of the Terminator series Very good continuation of the Terminator series. Picking up from the end of T2: Infiltrator, when Skynet went sentient, we finally get to Judgement Day, and the fight of the resistance against Skynet. The story mainly takes place in the mid west and northwest US, and parts of Canada, with other parts of the world mixed from time to time. It starts with Skynet testing out its abilities after the US turns over complete control of its military to Skynet. Shortly afterwards, the nukes are launched. While the Conors, aided by Deiter, have prepared for this, convincing the rest of humanity is not easy, as the Luddites are unwittingly assisting Skynet; however, resistance cels are popping up, and the fight is escalating. Because the resistance knows how to make plasma weapons from the ones they captured in book 2, they are able to eventually do more damage to Skynet than Skynet is doing to them. The story ends with the first Terminator being sent to the past to kill Sara Connor, followed closely by Kyle Reese, setting up the whole story. While an excellent story, I would have liked more on Skynet's own actions and strategies during the course of the war, especially its attempts to counter the moves of the resistance successes; however, I really enjoyed this book and recommend it to anyone who enjoys the Terminator series.
