<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>As a Jumper, Griffin can teleport to any place he has ever been, and he's on a quest to avenge the murder of his parents.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Griffin has a secret. It's a secret that he's sworn to his parents to keep, and never tell. Griffin is a Jumper: a person who can teleport to any place he has ever been. The first time was when he was five, and his parents crossed an ocean to protect the secret. The most important time was when he was nine. That was the day that the men came to his house and murdered his parents. Griffin knows that the men were looking for him, and he must never let them find him. <p/>Griffin grows up with only two goals: to survive, and to kill the people who want him dead. And a Jumper bent on revenge is not going to let anything stand in his way. <p/><i>Jumper</i>, based on Steven Gould's earlier novel of the same name, will be a major motion picture scheduled for release by 20th Century Fox starring Hayden Christensen, Jamie Bell and Samuel L. Jackson, and directed by Doug Limon. <i>Jumper: Griffin's Story</i> features the character played by Jamie Bell in the film.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"The theme of Steven Gould's <i>Jumper</i> is, quite literally, escape. The first half of <i>Jumper </i>has a charm and bounce that carry the reader past the implausibilities inherent in the premise--imagine a Holden Caulfield with the power of life or death over the jerks and phonies." --<i>The New York Times Book Review</i> <p/>"Gould proves once again that in the hands of a wonderful, perceptive writer, there is no such thing as an old idea. What sets <i>Jumper </i>apart from other novels that dip back into the well of the masters is that Gould brings his own keen empathy and rigorous intelligence to the story.....This is a book that you won't want to miss. It reminded me of why I first came to love science fiction, and yet I didn't have to be twelve again to have a great time reading it." --<i>Orson Scott Card</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Steven Gould</b> is the author of <i>Jumper</i> and <i>Reflex</i>, the books upon which the film is based. He lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with is wife, author Laura Mixon, and their two children.</p>
