Amazing sequel to a book that could have no sequel

Four stars because "reflex" starts out almost exactly where the first left off, forcing me to re-read the Jumper novel I read ten years ago one more time (not that it isn't a great novel)! But after re-reading "Jumper" and seeing reflex's first chapter in a new light, it's quite interesting to see how the author tied these two books together in both phrasing and ideals. I didn't think an author could pull off a sequel so well by taking it in such a drastically different direction (from a completely free soul to a rat-in-a-cage).

This isn't a retread sequel. This is a character's continued psychological journey in one of the most impossible to escape situations anyone could ever be in. The first novel "Jumper" was all about playing games and adventure. This second novel "reflex" is about how playing games can sometimes get a little more serious than we bargain for. I think you'll enjoy it if you enjoy escapism, adventure, and a little bit of shrewdness.

And if you didn't enjoy it, well, you don't enjoy much, do you?

Amazing, especially for a sequel

I loved Jumper, but I would never have believed the sequel could be so good. After all, we already know about the teleporting, right? And when the hero has become this powerful, how can a sequel deliver?
Well, for me, this book delivered. It hooked me from the very beginning (wisely keeping the focus on Davy's wife), and kept me interested throughout. I can't ask for any more than that, and it gets five stars from me.

Emotional rollercoaster ride the keeps you wanting more.

Steven Gould has done it again with the sequal to his original book Jumper. This book begins several years after the original and has allowed plenty of time for the two main characters Davey and Millie to truly develop as a couple. Now married the two face new challenges and adventures well beyond anything they have face before. As the book progressed, I was completely unable to put it down. I found myself reading it work, home, and while sitting at stoplights. I read it as close to non stop as possible. Steven Goulds writing style and creative flair are truly sensational, and I look forward to more possible books in this series. I gave the book the highest ranking of 5 stars but deserves far more.

Topnotch sequel to Jumper

Reflex, the sequel to Jumper, is a gripping thriller, largely because its primary characters are so believable and sympathetic. Gould has clearly given a lot of thought to the limitations and capabilities of his teleporting hero, which makes for a plot that is both logical and full of surprises. There is clearly room for further sequels, and I hope that Gould follows up.

Excellent sequel to Jumper

Jumper was recommended to me years ago, though I'd at that time never heard of it or Gould. But I read it and loved it, and it's in my Amazon list of Lesser Known Good Sci-Fi. I was stoked to find out a sequel was written. Gould did even better, I feel, in Reflex. The story unfolds at just the right pace, always keeping you reading, and the developments and twists are well thought out. The ending is very satisfactory, yet open enough that he could produce a third book in the series.

Reflex is probably one of the best novels I've read this year. Read Jumper and then Reflex.
