Final part of S.M. Stirling's trilogy of books that present an alternate story than that told in <i>T3: Rise of the Machines</i> and <i>Terminator: Salvation</i>.

Unlike the previous two entries (<i>T2: Infiltrator</i> and <i>T2: Rising Storm</i>), this is not so much the one-on-one of the Connors versus a single Terminator, but is rather humanity versus Skynet which, remember, had become sentient at the end of the last novel. While the beginning of the novel does take place pre-Judgement day, the bulk of it actually takes place during the war itself: a war only hinted at in the first two films.

I quite enjoyed this read, and how it tied into both the films and earlier novels. In short, one of the better expanded universe novels out there (though you would have to read the first two first).

Great action scenes (1 more)
Very good SFX
The sequel to T2 we have been waiting for!
The trailer alone got my hopes up and seeing James Cameron involved definitely made me think this could be a good Terminator film. T2 set very high standards that sadly the following Terminator films have failed to live up to in various levels.
Finally we have a film that feels like a true sequel to T2. Some old characters are back again, there are plenty of action packed scenes and crazy stunts with a bit of humour chucked in. In many ways it feels a bit like a retread of Judgement Day in terms of the plot. Though if it's not broke why fix it?
So finally we have the Terminator sequel we have all been waiting for. Check it out as who knows if Terminator will be back again.

Well, I think this book pretty much broke my heart, and I was quite happy for it to do just that. Beautifully written, it tells the story of Anna and Nick. They meet at their summer job at the local cinema and fall fast and hard for one another. But Anna is a Jehovahs Witness and her life is mapped out: marriage, babies and wait for the judgement.

But Anna can’t seem to give Nick up, and they have a summer of poetry, music and love, before Anna realises that she will have to give up this life in order to live the life expected of her. She can’t imagine losing her family.

Nick never forgets her, and everything feels like second best. Then something awful happens and Anna and Nick meet again years later.

 I loved this book and would most definitely recommend it. It’s just wonderful!
