ADVANCE PRAISE FOR JUMPER v

"Good stuff. Everyone's revenge fantasies
thought through with some wonderful twists, but what really
hooked me was the human interest. Davy Rice
was real from page one. I ordinarily loathe first
person, but the voice of the character matched the story
told so well, it didn't bother me a bit.
A beautiful, smooth, transparent style,
serving rather than struggling with the substance. This is a
style much harder to achieve than it looks,
judging from how few manage it. Don't compare
Jumper to Heinlein, though. Heinlein never had
this much psychological depth, never got this
real."

Hugo Award winning author of Barrayar

"Steven Gould has written a fast-paced,
witty adventure novel for anyone who has ever
had to come of age while feeling different from everyone
else on the planet--that is, for all of us. I
couldn't put this book down. The rich detail of the
story, the sheer momentum of the plot, recall the
Heinlein juveniles that first got me hooked on
science fiction. Gould has surpassed
Heinlein, though, in his willingness to deal seriously
with the everyday tragedies that force kids to run
away. Davy flees, and finally learns to face,
real-world pain and loss. You don't have to be a
teleport to recognize his very human struggles
to grow up."

In Place

"Jumper gives us the best of both worlds: a
smashing adventure story that grows from a wonderful
novel of character. I especially liked the rigorous
way Steve Gould has worked out what it would mean
to be able to teleport. By applying these
ramifications to both Davy Rice's
adventures and his personal growth, Gould has
given this coming-of-age adventure an unusual
richness. I wish I had written this book."
