"A stunning spin-off... crucial to Salvation's set-up" **** -- Total Film
Product Description
In Terminator: Salvation, the highly anticipated new installment of the Terminator movie franchise, set in post-apocalyptic 2018, Christian Bale stars as John Connor, the man fated to lead the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators. From The Ashes, written by Hugo Award-winning author Timothy Zahn, is the official prequel novel to the high-octane new movie, revealing the full story leading up to the movie s events. In post-Judgment Day LA, two lost kids named Kyle and Star keep watch for Terminators; a jaded Marine struggles to keep his rag-tag community together in the face of unrelenting danger; and John and Kate Connor assemble their Resistance team for a brutal assault on a deadly enemy. This is the story you must read before the brand-new movie hits theatres!

Like the film that this precedes, From the Ashes is great fun. The writing is vigorous and coherent, and the action scenes are well described. It's also cool to read about Kyle Reese surviving without the aid of the resistance, and to see early glimpses of the hero we all know he becomes (it's interesting that his protective attitude towards Star parallels the one he develops with Sarah).
If you're a Terminator fan, you'll love it, and probably give it repeated readings.

Being a huge fan of the terminator franchise I could not wait for this book.
So when I got around to reading it that night I was heartbroken as it was total rubbish.
The Book is advertised as the prequel to the upcoming film and on that front it delivers. Telling the story so far of John Connor and his resistance team existing, fighting and surviving in the post apocalyptic world, the book lives up to its name but as far as the way it is written and background story of the other characters surviving in the world of the machines needed a lot more work.
The writer did not keep suspense at any point and seemed to take ages describing seemingly useless and uninteresting points.
The only reason I finished this book is because I paid for it and hung onto hope that the plot may deliver something of any interest.
I have never read a book before that I could not wait to finish so I could get started on another.
Ultimately I feel that the concept and story were there but the writer did not deliver the goods.
If I were you I would stay away and just wait for the film.
