Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Fans waiting for a new instalment of the Terminator saga can stave off the cravings a little longer with T2: Infiltrator, an official sequel to the film franchise. The adventure kicks off after the end of the last film, with Sarah and her son John, who was hunted by the last Terminator unit, settling in Paraguay. Things are fine and dandy until one day Sarah encounters another "Arnold" unit in the town square. He's not, however, another killer robot but a former terrorist who served as the physical model for the Terminators. He tells Sarah that Cyberdyne, the company that created the killer cyborgs and was thought destroyed by Sarah in the film, has backup systems that must also be eliminated if they are to prevent the destruction of the human race.
Predictably, another evil Terminator unit is hot on their heels but this one is slightly different to its predecessors--it has taken the form of a beautiful woman and is the deadliest yet.
Heavily rumoured to follow the proposed plot of the third film (should it happen), Infiltrator is a solid story and well-written by genre veteran SM Stirling, though it does sag in places. The action is competently handled but never matches the adrenaline-pumping special effects of the big screen outings. The characters are well handled, especially Dieter whose path to redemption is sound and logical, and the female Terminator offers plenty of feisty femme-fatale action. The ending has a little less "whizz-bang" than the build-up suggests but paves the way for further promised "book" sequels. --Jonathan Weir --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Being a big Terminator fan and having watched both movies several times and read the novels too I was pleased to see this book available. I've never even heard of the author but enjoyed it a great deal. If you like the terminator world and have seen at least T2 you should enjoy this book too. If you haven't seen either film you really should before starting this book.

Okay I might be some flaws which I had not he picked up because of my dyslexia but the whole series by S. M. Stirling is how the third film should have taken direction. The whole story starts with Connor's making some kind of new life for themselves in Paraguay after destroying T-1000 in the steel mill, Sarah has become very relaxed and soft compared to her tough attitude, unaware that events from the future of going to take her back to the nightmare were it all started. the books Gives more insight of how the whole resistance started and alternative future which Connor's alternative after the they killed T-1000 hoping to stop judgement day.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
An exellent action-packed novel which picks up a few years after the events of Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Sarah is now living in South America under a new identity, while her son John attends an elite military school in preparation for the war against the machines, which Sarah and John think they have prevented yet remain on their guard. However, a Skynet creation, more advanced and more human than anything it has previously developed, it sent back in time to infiltrate Cyberdyne Systems and ensure Skynet is created. Sarah and John team up with an unexpected ally to investigate and try to stop Skynet for a third time.
A fantastic read which I couldn't put down, this novel is a far more believable sequel to T2 than the T3 movie was. If you like the film franchise, I highly reccomment you stop watching the movies after the second installment and pick up this book instead of the sub-standard third movie.

A great continuation, not a typical rehash, of the story
