Despite the heroic efforts of John Connor and Kate Webster, and the ultimate sacrifice of a T-850 terminator, Skynet became operational and mobilized its machine forces in all-out war against its prime enemy: mankind. More than twenty years later the war continues, fought by human resistance forces led by John and Kate, and by people in secret enclaves around the world. Raiding machine facilities, using small guerrilla forces to sabotage and destroy Skynet forces, the resistance is holding its own . . . but it's not enough. The self-aware AI that controls the robot terminators, the hunter-killers, and the rest of what used to be America's arsenal is too smart, too quick, too flexible to be defeated.
Or perhaps the answer to human victory lies shrouded behind the mists of time. Before Judgment Day, Danny Avila was a programmer on the project that became Skynet. In the months leading up to Judgment Day he began to have nightmares involving Terminators rampaging and destroying the world. Then, two days before the holocaust, he disappeared. Found years later by John and Kate, completely amnesiac about events of his life prior to Judgment Day, he became a useful member of the resistance, with an uncanny ability to predict Skynet tactics.
Now he is having Terminator dreams again, dreams of the days when he was on the Terminator design team . . . of the days when the world was on the path to destruction.
Could there be some kind of psychic link between the Danny of today and the Danny of nearly thirty years ago---a mental "wire" through which thoughts and images are transmitted forward and backward in time? Might this one desperately stressed man living in two eras be the time machine the resistance needs to undo the devastation of Judgment Day? A daring and dangerous experiment may prove the salvation of mankind's future . . .

Paul Keeley is a member of the human Resistance against Skynet's Al-driven assault on humanity in 2029. But he's being brainwashed by Skynet in their effort to infiltrate John Connor's Resistance. Paul must regain control of himself and aid in the capture of a T-X Terminator model, which is trying to use him to gain information with which to defeat the human insurgence. Meanwhile, John Connor must do what he can to protect the Resistance from possible infiltration, by Keeley or the T- X. Paul Keeley still suffers from the after-effects of his brainwashing. There are lingering hallucinations of a dual reality, one where he communicates with Eliza, a beautiful woman who's actually a T-X. When he's drawn into contact with her, she assumes his identity and sets out to kill John Connor and Kate Brewster. The real Paul gets to them first to warn them, but now nobody trusts Paul, not even himself, and if he doesn't come through for John and Kate, all of mankind will be lost.
