If you liked _Jumper_ by Steven Gould, you will love this book! (If you liked this one, GO and get _Jumper_ RIGHT NOW!)

Both books feature teleportation and governments trying to stop the teleporter; both feature interesting characters, just trying to make the best of a, well, weird situation. Both are a great deal of fun to read.

Emperor Dad is very well-written (I only found 1 or 2 typos, which is better than many mass-market books these days!) and very entertaining.

I would classify this one as a bit more of a juvenile SF book (in the best meaning of that word -- the kids will like it as much as the adults) rather than an adult SF, as two of the major protagonists are high school aged. The cover art struck me as kinda hokey at first, but, as I read the book, I decided it perfectly fit with the story -- just the right feel of cartoon yet real.

All in all, highly recommended. Watch for more from this author -- we need a sequel to this one, at least !

My 14yr old son just recieved this book. Once he started reading it he could not put it down! Anytime you can get a 14 year old to turn off the computer and stay away from the TV to read a book you know you have a great book!!! We'll be getting more of Mr. Melton's books very soon!

Concerned about Global Warming? Well, Emperor Dad has several ideas to help the earth. This fast paced story, set in Central Texas is a good read for the whole family. James Hill is curious about the identity of the Emperor. He may soon find out he has a lot more things to do than just football practice. Get this book!

I had a blast reading this book! With every page turned, you don't want it to end. Henry has a hit and I know you will have a wonderful time with this book. It's a great read for all ages. I believe we will see more fantastic writings out of Henry Melton.

Thanks
