Book Report: Terminator 3: Terminator Dreams by Aaron Allston (2003)
I bought this book at a book fair because I was binging. Probably the Carondolet YMCA last time. I mean, it's an ex-library book, a movie tie-in, and I paid a buck for it. But you know what? It wasn't bad.

The book relies on the narrative set in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. Instead of the past trying to change the future through action, which is the core of the movies, this book involves John Connor ca 2039 finding that one of the people on his team was a software developer programming on the Terminator project and that this software developer can communicate with his past self through his dreams. The developer, though, cannot remember anything beyond Judgement Day.

A good quick read, although I'd be interested to see how the series would turn if it didn't rely so much on the cross-time thing, if it weren't so important to have something happening in the present day. Apparently this author has another book based on Terminator 3 out, so that might be worth reading if it comes to my attention at one of the various book fairs coming up.
