Synopsis not on file
Extract (may contain spoilers)

A dozen human soldiers fired from a row of four army trucks. Juanita joined their group from the another direction, barely acknowledging John before firing off bursts of ammunition with an M-249 light machine gun. One of the younger men threw a pipe grenade, then leant back against the truck, awaiting the explosion - which came, seconds later. It scarcely fazed the Terminators.

A squat "wrestler" Terminator stood, and charged forward, firing a stolen AK-47. Juanita kept her cool and fired back, distracting the cyborg with a hailstorm or metal: 750 rounds of ammunition per minute. "Just hold it there, beauty," Cecilia said, taking aim with her laser rifle. A pulse of brilliant light caught the Terminator in its skull, from which the human flash was hanging in gruesome shreds. The light pierced the cyborg's metal skull, but must have missed the CPU. Cecilia fired again - a better shot, this time - and suddenly the Terminator was just a tangle of flesh and metal. It went down, taken out as cleanly as John had ever done.

"Good work," he said.

CONTINUING THE TRILOGY OF ALL-NEW NOVELS BASED ON THE POPULAR FILM!

Judgment Day is coming! Following the events of Book 1 (Dark Futures), the future war between the human Resistance and the forces of Skynet takes an unusual twist as Terminators from an alternate timeline invade the world of John Connor and his mother, Sarah, seeking to bring about the inevitable war that the Connors had merely delayed with their actions. But another cyborg has traveled across the dimensions to protect John - and nothing is going to prevent her from carrying out her mission!

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.
