TERMINATOR SALVATION
TITAN BOOKS
Written by Alan Dean Foster
Based on the motion picture written by
John Brancato & Michael Ferris
Copyright 2009 by T Asset Acquisition Company, LLC.
The novelization of the movie Terminator Salvation tells the story of human resistance leader John Connor and Kyle Reese both in there own ways fighting the Terminators.
With the novelization, I better understand the characters than what I learned from the movie as there is more characterization with the characters than what can be depicted in a movie. Even the new Terminators I can better understand as they are described in the novelization. You can see the development of Kyle Reese as a resistance fighter as he survives in the city ruins of Los Angeles. With Marcus Wright searching for his engineered experimented origins and for his new acquaintance Kyle, who was taken by the Terminators, the novelization is more about Wright than about John Connor. Connor's conflicts with his own chain of command is rather frustrating and you almost cheer for Connor as he defies command and becomes the leader he is supposed to be.

Terminator Salvation - From the Ashes

Titan Books
Written by Timothy Zahn
Copyright 2009 T Asset Acquisition Company, LLC.
In From the Ashes, Judgement Day has just happened and John Connor and his Resistance group help protect a group of human survivors in Los Angeles from the aggressive robotic Terminators.
Half the book deals with the Marine responsible for security for the survivors in Los Angeles as well as dealing with a teen aged Kyle Reese - but Kyle never meets the famed John Connor in this prequel to the movie Terminator Salvation. Just like with the movie, this is not really a book about John Connor leading the resistance. This book is more about the resistance butting heads with a human survival group that just wants to be left alone.
