"Though Gould continues to exuberantly press the boundaries of scientific credibility, his gift for placing ordinary people in extraordinary situations against a backdrop of international concerns makes this fast-paced adventure sizzle."
--Publishers Weelky (starred review)--
"This is a fun, fast-paced novel that - like Gould's other books - also has a social conscience that gives it more depth than such a story might have in lesser hands. You don't need to have read Jumper to enjoy the new novel, but [it's] highly recommended."
--Charles de Lint, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Ficiton--
"The theme Steven Gould's JUMPER is, quite literally, escape. The first half of JUMPER HAS A CHARM AND BOUNCE that carry the reader past the implausibility's inherent in the premise-imagine a Holden Caulfield with the power of life or death over the jerks and phonies."
--The New York Times Book Review--
