Summary: Second in a great series
Review: "T2 Rising Storm" is the second book in S.M. Stirling three book series set after Terminator 2, as with the first book, Mr.Stirling does a great job in letting the reader get a clear metal image of the action taking place in the book. The pace of the book is great and able to hold the reader's attention. Overall, this is a follow-up the first book and should not be missed by any fan of the Terminator Series.

Summary: Amazing
Review: After "Infiltrator" the story continues.
The book is wonderful and worth reding. But maybe wait for its paperback edition to come out.Definatly, a must for Terminator and Arnold fans.

Summary: I hope there is another in the series
Review: I must say that this book was hard to put down. Only the heat of the sun by the pool caused me stop and seek somewhere more cool. This book continues, where Infiltrator left off. I enjoyed the little references to present day events and trivia (star wars fans will find it amusing). I feel that the author really tried to be true to some aspect of time travel (if thats possible) and the way the original timeline keeps trying to reestablish itself. Saying more, would give away to much. Needless to say, it was an interesting twist in the tale.
Anyway, if you enjoyed Infiltrator, you will look forward to reading Rising Storm (although, the title as very close Approaching Storm for the star wars buffs...same concept?)
You must however read Infiltrator first to truly get into this book. I hope there is more in the series, since there were some loose ends that were not tied up.

Summary: Predictable, and cliche.
Review: I really can't recomend this even to people who loved Infiltrator. Which I did. I figured out how it would end less than halfway through. But then, there's the obligatory love interest, the disaproving mother, escapes that are too convenient, and the last one is by far the worst. A needless death of a loved one to turn a character from a sympathetic hero, to a hardened warrior. What a let-down. I could almost have enjoyed the book but for that last one.

Summary: T2: Rising Storm
Review: Much as I said about T2: Infiltrator, T2: Rising Storm is a well-written sequel #2 to the second Terminator movie--Terminator 2: Judgment Day. In fact, Infiltrator and Rising Storm, written by veteran SciFi writer, S.M. Stirling, are a much better sequels to Terminator 2 than is the third movie in the series. I had hoped, in vain as it turns out, that the next movie (Terminator 3) would follow Stirling's series. Stirling is a powerful fiction writer and his understanding of combative behavior is refreshing. (See some of his other works such as Drakon and Island In The Sea Of Time.) This one is a good read.

Summary: A worthy sequel
Review: Stirling's follow up to Infiltrator is not quite as good but it still provides plenty of thrills. Dieter Von Rossbach, ex-Sector agent and template for the T-101 Terminator, is a worthy addition to the Terminator mythos. He's an excellent character and a role model for future savior of humanity John Connor. Lots of action and features a twist to the creation of Skynet that was unexpected. Loads of action and character development for John Connor. The villian is not quite as interesting as her predecessor and this detracts from the enjoyment of the novels but she's still effective enough. Cameos by two characters from the first two films may bring a smile to your face. Stirling's prose is quick moving and engaging and he knows how to write thrilling action. He knows the characters of Sarah and John Connor quite well. This is shaping up to be an excellent sci-fi trilogy. Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines invalidates the trilogy since it's continuity conflicts with what's laid out here but that's no fault of Stirling. And it will not affect the readers enjoyment of this novel or the first one.

Summary: Quite literate continuation of the Terminator saga
Review: There are points in T2 INFILTRATOR and in this current book that I especially like. One is the fact that the present day characters are now on their own with no help from robots from the future. Then there is the nature of villains they face...not robots programmed to kill but cyborgs with some human qualities (but not those that will make them more likeable) directing terminators. There's the slow progress being made by Skynet which prompts changing strategies on the part of our heroes. Finally, we have the philosophical theories concerning time which suggests that any attempts to change the future are defeated by the nature of times itself. Rather a fatalistic, pre-deterministic stance, but interesting. Both of these volumes are highly recommended.

Summary: Part 2 of a great series!
Review: This book is extremely easy to get into as it picks up where the last book left off. You already know most of the characters and begin with a wetted appetite for more terminators! This book is just like the first--REALLY AWESOME! I must admit that I'm an avid T fan. If you are, then read the first, and then read this one!
