About this ebook
Sarah Connor and her son, John, know the grim tomorrow that awaits their species if the Cyberdyne Corporation gets their Skynet system on-line. Targeted for annihilation because of their future destinies, the Connors have already survived two separate attempts on their lives by advanced Terminator killing machines. But enough T-800 detritus remains from their last life-and-death struggle to enable Cyberdyne to recover. The nightmare is back on track. And the most fearsome and relentless cyborg weapon of all has been dispatched through time to ensure Skynet's victory: a machine so like its human prey that detection is virtually impossible. Considered a dangerous terrorist by the U.S. government and hiding out in Paraguay, Sarah sees another T-800 similar to the cybernetic killer from whom she once narrowly escaped. But while his form and features will eventually be duplicated on many Terminator units, former counterterrorism operative Dieter von Rossback is very much a man, irresistibly drawn to the puzzling, beautiful, deadly serious Sarah Connor and her brilliant teenage son. And once Sarah reveals her dark history and awakens him to the impending possible extermination of all human life, Dieter is drawn to her revolution as well. But the machine masters of the near future have ensured that they will not be thwarted again. A new breed of enforcer, on designed to effortlessly infiltrate the ranks of the enemy, has been firmly entrenched in the uppermost level of Cyberdyne Corporation. With a vengeance-seeking FBI agent on a tight leash and the inexhaustible resources of Cyberdyne to support the hunt for the Connors and their allies, the 1-950 Infiltrator is relentless, programmed to pursue Skynet's goal until all targets are dead. But unlike its technological predecessors, the Infiltrator understands how humans think and feel...and she truly enjoys the blood and the chase. Exploding out of the long shadows cast by Terminator 2: Judgement Day—the cinematic action masterwork that rocked the world-T2: Infiltrator marks a bold new beginning in the stunning apocalyptic epic that has already become a legend.

Not very well written, anticlimax at the end. One or two excellent characters which were exciting to read about but the rest were boring, unbelievable or again very poorly written, with one in particular strangely missing for almost all the second half of the book. if you're a big Terminator fan there should be elements of this you'll enjoy, if not I wouldn't recommend. I found it entertaining for the most part but will probably not read the other two.

As a fan(atic) of the Terminator story... I utterly and completely loved it. All fans craving for more will enjoy this. Well done Stirling. And thank you so much for writing this. Terminator has been a part of my childhood and an Sarah Connor is a continual inspiration. I suprised myself and cried at the end of the last Terminator movie because I thought... it's over, there wont be any more. But I stumbled on this a week ago and have devoured it. I will read the next two in this series. If you feel any pull to write more, please do. Thank you again Mr. Stirling. I appreciate this more than you can know.
