The story line was engrossing, but I only give five stars to the books I absolutely can't put down. He doesn't try to find a million different synonyms for the word "butt." His characters arrived fully formed, deductive, and inventive. And yet, Gould stays true to his literary "voice." He graphically tells it like it is, just like you'd talk to your closest friends or speak in your inner voice. Steven Gould's story development improved drastically in this sequel to Jumper.
He's got the right mix of vulnerability and stubbornness that really catch the essence of Davy.Ĥ out of 5 Stars (highly recommended).
Macleod Andrews once again takes the reigns here and does a commendable job. I'm looking forward to continuing this story in Impulse.Ī note on the narration.

Overall, I thought this was a great installment with lots of thought into how to keep a person captive who can teleport. I won't go into detail for fear of spoiling too much, but it works out and she's on the hunt for her beau.įlipping back and forth from Davy's captivity to Millie's search, the story starts to come together and lots of great teleportation ensues. Sucks to be the one who can't.īut there's a plan they put in place to get out and she follows it. The only way in and out is through teleportation. On the other side, Millie, now Davy's wife, is stuck in the Erie (I've only 'read' these on audio, so you'll have to forgive spelling), which is the couple's home on the side of a cliff. These parts were extremely captivating, where Davy pushes the boundaries of his captivity while suffering tortures, you name it. So some "bad guys" take notice and figure out a way to keep Davy captive. Not everyone's unconscious when they're being teleported away and sometimes other people are present. And it's a bit hard to keep it a secret after a while. He can't just go anywhere, he has to have been there, and not only that, he has to remember the place.īy the end of book one, Davy is taking covert jobs with unnamed government entities, but of course this creates some waves. We know Davy can teleport and he can do really cool things with it, though there are limits. I don't know if these are really spoilers for the first book, but I'll go ahead and warn. How could it top the first one? What else can you do with teleportation, right? Turns out, plenty. There's something about this simple concept of being able to teleport that's absolutely captivating.Īnd I had misgivings going into this one. I already have the third book, Impulse, queued up on the iPod.
