This is the second book in the new stories of John and Sarah Connor written by S.M. Stirling. Here, John is eighteen years old and partnered with a human who bears an uncanny resemblance to the Arnold terminator.
It's stated that when Skynet designed the bodies of the terminators they used certain mercenaries and soldiers as models--and this Austrian, Deiter von Rossbach, was one of them. Sarah Connor was injured in the last book and now is back in the psychiatric hospital dealing with old acquaintances. And now her son and their new mercenary friend have to stop another installation that's going to start Skynet, an installation in the Antarctic. But people are trying to stop them....there's the biological clone/terminator, called an infiltrator, who plans their destruction and the government agents who see the Connors as a threat to their own plans. John Connor also gets his first girlfriend, a computer savy MIT student. Together, the trio go to the Antarctic to try and stop Skynet from becoming sentient--and make a horrible, horrible mistake. One of them is killed and John is horribly scarred in the face by a seal remote controlled by the head terminator (explains how he got that scar as an adult in T2). A really good story that makes me want to read more of the adventure...
