"John Connor's human resistance nears the destruction of Skynet, but the malevolent computer system's eleventh-hour plan for victory threatens the survival of both the resistance and Skynet itself"--

All stars J. Michael Straczynski and Pete Woods send readers into the last day of the Machine War! John Connor's once-certain victory is in jeopardy, as the psychopathic Thomas Parnell has taken control of the Terminator army and threatens to crush both sides! With mankind on the verge of extinction and the resistance shattered, only John Connor stands against the killer--until Skynet does the unthinkable, sending a resurrected Marcus Wright with an offer to parlay. But with the hour of Connor's foretold death nearing, is it too late?! Collecting Terminator Salvation: The Final Battle #7-#12!

From The Ashes, written by Hugo Award-winning author Timothy Zahn, sets the scene for the events chronicled in the movie Terminator Salvation, revealing the full story behind John Connor, the man fated to lead the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators. In post-Judgment Day LA, two lost kids named Kyle and Star keep watch for Terminators; a jaded Marine struggles to keep his rag-tag community together in the face of unrelenting danger; and John and Kate Connor assemble their Resistance team for a brutal assault on a deadly enemy.

The year is 2018. With John Connor as the voice of the resistance, the scattered remnants of humanity find themselves united against their common enemy -- Skynet and its Terminators. Through a patchwork system of radio transmitters, hacked satellite phones, and encrypted computer networks, resistance leader Elena Maric in Detroit and Nigerian mining engineer Bem Aworuwa have formed an unlikely friendship and drawn up battle plans to take the fight to the Terminators!

Their only hope is to take the fight to Skynet's mainframe at Thunder Mountain."--Publisher description.
