This was first released back in 2002, so 11 years after the film (which was 1991), but only a single year before 'Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines'. I think I remember reading at the time that it closely followed elements of the plot of the (then) proposed third movie: re-reading this, it is interesting to see how many of those elements actually made it into the movie, or even into 'The Sarah Connor Chronicles' TV show (all of which are now no longer considered canon).

This (obviously!) follows the events of T2, with the Connors hiding out in Paraguay after having ended (or so they think!) the Skynet threat. Of course, this proves not to be the case, with a 'master terminator' (the Infiltrator if the title) sent back in time (again) to make sure that Cyberdyne's work carries on. This 'master terminator' takes the form of a female - T3, anyone? - and is actually a human hybrid rather than a machine in her own right (so, basically, a cyborg), so that she is better able to infiltrate the humans she hunts (in the future, and in the present). In this respect, she's probably closer to the original vision of the Terminators as somebody you could walk past in the street, rather than the hulking Arnie of the movies!
