The future war is now, September 20, 2009


Story (not much different than the movies, just more details of what happened where):

Despite (and maybe because) of their best efforts John Connor and Sarah Connor have failed in preventing Skynet from becoming self aware. Most of the world is caught unaware as the nuclear missles fall and kill billions in a matter of minutes. All that is left are those who were quick enough to get to shelters, the fledgling resistance members and eco/anti technology groups that unknowingly serve skynet. The only hope for humanity is for John Connor to rise up to his destiney and take the fight to skynet before it attempts to go back in time and change history so he never exists.

==============

This was a pretty good book considering how many differnt versions of the story their are (the orignal movies, the new movies, the tv series etc). It definetly keeps moving and you want to know what happens next. My only problem with this book was that toward the end it did start to jump forward a lot. In one chapter you would be 5 years in the future and then the next chapter you might be another 10 years in the future. I guess the author go told to wrap the series up when he still may have had another book to write. It doesn't detract from the story in this book it just seems like a lot is crammed into the last 5 or 6 chapters. I would recommend this to anyone who likes the terminator uninverse and wants more details as to why this and that happened and those who like good scifi adventure stories with plenty of action. One side note this is part of a trilogy, but you dont have to read the other two to enjoy this one. My guess is they kind of stand alone. m.a. ( )
