Summary: I hope there is another in the series
Comment: 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: Quite literate continuation of the Terminator saga
Comment: 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: Second in a great series
Comment: "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.
