Post-apocalypse. Book Two of Australian writer Russell Blackford's Terminator 2 trilogy. Both John and Skynet realize that it is impossible to change the past, but it is possible to create other timelines, alternative worlds in which the course of events can still be changed. In one timeline, in 2001, Skynet's thought slaves, zombified by the triple Terminator T-XA, infiltrate Washington and try to reprogram senior Pentagon officials so that Skynet can be launched and come to life. Overcoming incredible odds, John, Sarah, the Specialists and Terminator Eve, sent to their aid, try to prevent this sinister scenario. In another reality, in 2029, the troops of the Human Resistance, having broken through the defenses of Skynet, surround Cheyenne Mountain, in which the last bastion of the deadly computer is located - the underground headquarters of Skynet. Does he have the opportunity to avoid death as a result of the assault on his citadel by John Connor's troops?
