Aaron Allston is one of my favorite sci-fi authors, and this sequel to the Terminator 3 movies had a great mix of flashbacks to Judgement Day, complex plotting in the present, and sightings of all our favorite characters. Loved it. ( ) Danny Avila knows that the programming work he does for General Brewster is stressful, but lately he hasn't been able to catch much sleep at all. It's the nightmares. Soldier-machines, much more advanced than the prototypes he works on, are killing everyone. And the city looks like a nuclear bomb went off or something. Every night it's the same thing almost as if, when he sleeps, Danny crosses over into a different reality. There's no way this could be the future... Daniel Avila is tired. Reprogramming captured Terminators for John Connor is rewarding work, but he's getting to be an old man. The only peace he has is at night when he closes his eyes. He dreams of the fresh-squeezed orange juice prepared by his mother at breakfast time and enjoying the California sunshine with the woman he loves. It seems so real, just like he has stepped back into the past... The Terminator franchise is famous for messing around with time-travel paradoxes, but adding the whole communicating-with-the-past-like-Frequency is just great fun. This book shares many characters and locales with Terminator Hunt and I was glad to see that. It's clear that Allston has invested a lot of time creating this little reality and I'm enjoying the payoff. Specialized genre fiction can be a throw-away read sometimes but Allston crafts his tale with love and it has more meat and more heart in it than it should. I can't wait to see what he comes up with next. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Despite the heroic efforts of John Connor and Kate Webster, and the ultimate sacrifice of a T-850 terminator, Skynet became operational and mobilized its machine forces in all-out war against its prime enemy: mankind. More than twenty years later the war continues, fought by human resistance forces led by John and Kate, and by people in secret enclaves around the world. Raiding machine facilities, using small guerrilla forces to sabotage and destroy Skynet forces, the resistance is holding its own . . . but it's not enough. The self-aware AI that controls the robot terminators, the hunter-killers, and the rest of what used to be America's arsenal is too smart, too quick, too flexible to be defeated. Or perhaps the answer to human victory lies shrouded behind the mists of time. Before Judgment Day, Danny Avila was a programmer on the project that became Skynet. In the months leading up to Judgment Day he began to have nightmares involving Terminators rampaging and destroying the world. Then, two days before the holocaust, he disappeared. Found years later by John and Kate, completely amnesiac about events of his life prior to Judgment Day, he became a useful member of the resistance, with an uncanny ability to predict Skynet tactics. Now he is having Terminator dreams again, dreams of the days when he was on the Terminator design team . . . of the days when the world was on the path to destruction.Could there be some kind of psychic link between the Danny of today and the Danny of nearly thirty years ago---a mental "wire" through which thoughts and images are transmitted forward and backward in time? Might this one desperately stressed man living in two eras be the time machine the resistance needs to undo the devastation of Judgment Day? A daring and dangerous experiment may prove the salvation of mankind's future . . . Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
