Following on from the end of T2: Infiltrator, this novel continues the story started in that novel. The infiltrator of the previous novel may have been destroyed, but she has left behind 2 clones who continue her work, while Sarah Connor recuperates in military hospital from the wounds she received destroying it.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Much more than even the first book.
John Connor is truly becoming the man who takes down skynet. Of course, I saw (view spoiler) from a mile away but hey, mankind HAS to create Skynet, right?
More of the differential timeloops are talked about, so it will be interesting to see how Stirling wraps up that side of things. Looking forward to the final book.

Second of three in Stirling's Terminator series. Not nearly as good as the first novel. Lots of jumps in logic in this one (why are they returning to their house in South America? That is the most obvious place that the authorities would be looking... DUH!!) Will not be reading the third novel.
This trilogy should have been the T3 movie (or probably another series of movies) instead of the crap they actually filmed. I love this series, and have read it before. I've recently gotten back into T2, and wanted to read the series again. SO much better than T3!!
The 2nd part of a trilogy set 6 years after the events of the T2 film, and ignoring the T3 story, this is about John Connor, now 16, and his mentor Dieter - the human model for the future Terminators - trying to stop Skynet from being created. I haven't read books 1& 3 but have ordered them on the strength of this as it was pretty good, and is faithful to the storylines of the original 2 films.
An excellent read for anyone who loves the Terminator franchise. This is book #2 in a trilogy.
For anyone who enjoys sci-fi set in the T2 universe this trilogy is a good read. This book talks about how skynet becomes self-aware, and the quest of the other 2 infiltrators from the first book, "Infiltrator" are on a quest to insure that this does happen, by any means necessary. It's definitely a good read as it talks about some of John Connors background from living in South America during his travels with his mother. I'm normally not a S.M. Sterling fan, but this book as well as the others...more
Worth reading.
I gave it four stars because I love the Terminator story, but I debated on giving it three. The second book in the T2 series, this one was a little slower than the first one. I couldn't get into it as much. I also thought some of the things that happened were overly far-fetched so that was a bit of a turn off. But some major things happen in this book, so you can't skip it as part of the series. It ends with a major cliff hanger... so be sure you have book 3 ready to start reading right away.

A really good series for the Terminator Fan.
This series puts the T3 movie to extreme shame. They should have made a movie out of these!
