A sequel to Jumper. Jumper was awesome, it is one of the few books that I have actually handed to someone and said "you should read this. " Davy Rice in a traumatic situation suddenly finds himself transported back to a place where he felt safe. After a while it turns out he can teleport (a.k.a. jump) at will to anywhere that he has been before (and can picture in his mind.) In Jumper he uses this power to avenge the death of his mother, who was killed by hijackers.
Reflex starts with Davy being kidnapped by some group that wants to use Davy for their own purposes. The chapters alternate between following Davy in his captivity and his wife, Millie, in her search for Davy.
It's very compelling. Little bits of information are doled out, and the characters try to build on what they learn. I can't think of more to say without having too many spoilers, so I'll just say that I loved it, loved the characters of Davy and Millie. Definitely read jumper first, although I think you could get by without it if jumper was no where to be found.
