Extract (may contain spoilers)
The Advanced Defense Systems Complex was built with the newest, strongest alloys and ceramics.  It was hardened to withstand a near miss from a high-yield warhead, and was full of armed servicemen.  It had sophisticated security systems making it almost impossible to penetrate or attack.  Even for Eve, it was no soft target.
    But it could be done, with the right knowledge.
    Once inside the elevator, she found the electronic keycard that she'd taken.  She touched it to a glowing sensor, then entered the six-digit security code on a touchpad.  By now, the humans would be fully alert to her presence.  They would surely stop the elevator at level A, the ensure they met her when she exited.  There was little she could do about that, so she accepted it as a mission constraint, and pressed the button for that level, 1000 feet below.

THE FIRST IN A TRILOGY OF ALL-NEW NOVELS BASED ON THE POPULAR FILM!

Following the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Sarah Connor and her son, John, had thought they'd been able to alter the future so that neither the artificially intelligent SkyNet nor its Terminator killing machines would ever be created.  But if they were so successful, why, then, are they now being hunted by yet another Terminator that's traveled back in time to ensure that John never grows up to be the charismatic leader of the few humans that survived Judgment Day?  And when a band of human warriors from an alternate timeline make an unexpected appearance, have they come to help John - or the killing machine...?

Told from the perspective of John himself, The New John Connor Chronicles provides insight to the thoughts and fears of a young man who already knows what Fate has in store for him - and the burdens he has to bear along the path he must travel to become humanity's future savior.

AN ALL-NEW ADVENTURE BY THE AUTHOR OF THE TEMPTING OF THE WITCH KING

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
