In her spare time, she helps her parents move supplies to refugees in crisis areas. So Cent goes to high school, where she makes good friends and bad enemies, joins a snowboarding club, and falls in love. And when she too discovers the ability to jump, her overprotective (in her view) parents have no choice but to give her more freedom before she takes it anyway. Now in Impulse, they have long kept themselves under the government radar, and have brought up their daughter Cent (named Millicent after her mother) in isolation from society ' sixty miles south of the Arctic Circle.' Cent is beginning to rebel against this, as can be seen from the sign on her bedroom door: ' Help! / Being Held Prisoner by Teleporting Aliens! / Kept from Normal Life. Millie - a psychologist who had found out after David's disappearance that she could jump too - played Jane Bond to get him back. In Reflex, an adult David worked for the NSA until he was kidnapped by Hyacinth Pope and steadily, and viciously conditioned to do his captors' will. He discovered that he was able to teleport in Jumper, fell in love with Millie, and was discovered by the NSA, who came after him and anyone close to him. ![]() ![]() I mpulse follows Jumper and Reflex in Steven Gould's brilliant series of SF thrillers starring young David Rice. ![]()
