Written by S.M.Stirling. This is the third of Stirling's TERMINATOR trilogy, wrapping up the John Connor story. Here, John and his mother are living in Alaska with an ex mercenary named Dieter (whose likeness was used as the mold for the T-100 Terminator!). Skynet has become sentient, in part due to Connor's mistake, but they are unable to stop the nuclear war from happening. Machines such as cars, plans, army vehicles start having a mind of their own (actually Skynet's), because of a chip secretly implanted in them. And the super computer also starts pitting man against man. The rise of the machines begins. While John becomes a leader for the survivors that he's been trained to be Sarah travels down to South America for more help and resources-and manages to bring back a U.S. nuclear sub that's not controlled by skynet.Skynet starts manufacturing Terminators and HK's from the fully automated factories, from information installed in it by one of the Terminators sent back in the first book. John and his Resistance fights them.And, of course, there's Kyle Reese, who Connor is all too aware about, and we get his story, from his parents, to when he's a child until he jumps into the time machine to save a young Sarah Connor from the Terminator.If you were somewhat unsatisfied by the third TERMINATOR movie you need to read this book. It's more true to James Cameron's vision and much more satisfactorily ends the story. You will not be disappointed.
