"Racing desperately to alert their allies, the Connors discover that Wendy's sacrifice was in vain - far from being harmless, Skynet is active, sentient, and ready to terminate the human nuisance once and for all. Engineered by the relentless Al, the apocalypse of Judgment Day turns cities into deathtraps and releases mass destruction across the globe." "In the nuclear winter that follows, our world changes forever. Cities become deathtraps of disease and famine patrolled by implacable machines, the first Hunter-Killer and T-90 Terminator units begin to exterminate their human prey, and all human life faces a desperate battle for survival against a seemingly unstoppable enemy." "But there is still one rallying cry of hope, one man who will step to the forefront of the long fight to keep humanity from extinction: John Connor."--BOOK JACKET.
