And I though "Cold War" was the best, Oct 27 2010
By FritzTheMan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Terminator Salvation: Trial by Fire (Mass Market Paperback)
Out of EVERY Terminator book I've read (And that encompasses T3/Terminator Dreams/Terminator Hunt and Terminator Salvation/From The Ashes/Cold War/), this is tops! Timothy Zahn takes off where 'Salvation' left off, and puts together a story that blows its predecessor out of the water. It's perhaps the best use of license and, dare I say, a perfect sequel to the movie. Not only does it quickly jump into the action, it carries several different themes and elements to keep you guessing, throw you off and shock you.The war against the machines rages on...and The "Salvation" series of books is laying it out perfectly.

A must read if you are a fan of science fiction, Nov 22 2011
By Dan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Terminator Salvation: Trial by Fire (Mass Market Paperback)
I was not sure what to expect when I decided to read this book. I am a big fan of the Terminator series as well as Timothy Zhan's Star Wars novel series. This is by far the best Terminator book out and one of the best Sci-fi books that I have ever read.I don't want to spoil the story because it so well put together, but things start off with three separate plot arcs that eventually all come together in the end masterfully. The events take place right after the Terminator Salvation movie. All of the events and mood of the movie are carried over very smoothly to this book. There is a ton of intrigue, character development, suspense, and action. This is one of those stories that keeps you glued in from start to finish.
I would highly recommend this book. Timothy Zahn is on his game big time with this effort. Anyone who is a fan of science fiction in general should check this book out.

Picks Up Where The Movie "Terminator Salvation" Left Off, Sep 5 2010
By Shawn Kovacich "Shawn Kovacich" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Terminator Salvation: Trial by Fire (Mass Market Paperback)
Well I am writing this review with only a couple of hours of sleep and I put the blame entirely on this new literary installment in the The Terminator series, originally created by James Cameron. I started this book the previous night around 11:00 pm and literally was unable to put it down. I told myself several times that I would just read a couple of more pages and then I would get some sleep, well 6:45 am rolled around and I finally did put the book down, after I had finished reading the entire thing. And I am fairly certain that if there would have been the next book available in the series, then I would have started reading that one as well. Although last weekend I did the same thing with Terminator Salvation: Cold War by Greg Cox, and I would highly recommend that you pick up that book as well.This book flowed so well and literally picked up mere days after the end of the movie Terminator Salvation (Widescreen Edition) with Barnes and Blair being send back to the radar installation base where Marcus first appeared in order to bury Barnes' brother who was killed when the base was destroyed by Skynet. You also get a glimpse into the new TH or Theta project and some familiar Terminators and the reinforced fact that there are actual humans helping Skynet to eradicate other humans, something that was really alluded to in the films.
You will be introduced to a small group of humans living in a small isolated community that turns out to be a focal point for Skynet activity, although nobody in the community really knows it, or do they? I really liked the characters that were introduced and some of them show some real potential for popping up in future Terminator novels, especially Hope and perhaps her father Preston, who play a quite significant role in this story, although I am not going to give you any details and spoil the fun of finding out for yourself.
I fervently hope that Zahn and other sci-fi authors continue the Terminator stories as they are really enjoyable and about the only fix us machine-junkies are going to get since the cancellation of the brilliant television series, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - The Complete First Season, in order for another one of those stupid "reality series" show to be shown. With brilliant decisions like that (sarcasm totally intended) perhaps Skynet is right!
