When you can teleport all over the world in the blink of an eye, where else is there to go but up?

Cent is the teenage daughter of Davy and Millie Rice, two perfectly ordinary people who can teleport to any place they remember or can see clearly. Now that she’s discovered she can jump too, she’s stretching her horizons just a little bit. Her goal?

Well, Low Earth Orbit, to start...

Bad news: she needs a spacesuit to deal with the cold and lack of air at those heights, and those cost NASA tens of million of dollars. Good news: there’s a scientist working on a reusable, adaptable suit that needs only funding and some way for a human to get inside the prototype.

Now all Cent has to do is duplicate NASA’s space program by herself, negotiate with the military that really, really wants to know who’s up there clearing out space junk and deploying satellites by hand, deal with the cheating boyfriend who’s part of her home-made ground crew, and avoid the grasp of the shadowy, powerful organization that wants her entire family under their control or dead.

“Exo” is the fourth book in Gould’s Jumper series and you do not, strictly speaking, have to read the first three to enjoy this one. As Cent deals with a subway groper in her own unique way in the beginning of the book Gould eases you into this world quickly and painlessly. His gift is in writing about extraordinary things in a very ordinary way with humor and matter-of-factness and it’s never been on display so much as here. That said, there’s a lot of history behind the characters’ interactions and relationships, and “Exo” is much more satisfying if you’re reading it as the next chapter in the ongoing story of the Rice family.

Along with Nina Kiriki Hoffman and Steven Brust, Steven Gould is on my all-time short list of drop-everything-go-read-their-stuff authors. And if Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game and Anne McCaffrey's Dragonsong never existed, Gould's Jumper would be my favorite YA book ever. Exo is the fourth book in the Jumper series - and, no, Griffin's Story doesn't count; it's not canon. Exo is one of those books that I dare not spoil a smidge. It'd be ruinous as hell to even hint at the discoveries you'll come across in the reading of it. I'll say that if you'd read up on Jumper: A Novel, Reflex (Jumper), and Impulse (Jumper), then there's massive gratification in store. Exo charts the ongoing remarkable exploits of Millicent Rice - but we call her "Cent" - the 17-year-old genius girl who inherited her parents' "jumping" knack. As we saw in Impulse, Cent had already one-upped her dad Davy's ingenious applications of teleportation. Here, she continues to push the boundaries of what she can do. In the doing of it, she effects sweeping changes on a global scale. Awesome sauce!

The vibe is very much reminiscent of Robert Heinlein's classic YA sci-fi adventures - Rocket Ship Galileo, Tunnel in the Sky, Have Space Suit - Will Travel - y'know, early Heinlein before he got too freaky.

A worthy sequel (end?) to a great series, and a VERY science-y contribution to science fiction. The adventures of Cent et al continue in a creative and entertaining fashion, and the voyages they undertake, both physically and in terms of a coming-of-age story are really fun to observe. If you liked the first three books (especially Impulse, which is the most similar in terms of tone), you're almost guaranteed to like this one.

Reservations/Cons: There were a couple typos(at least in the e-book) which distracted me:spelling cubicle "cubical," or missing the "t" in "@stanford.edu," but overall the quality of writing is excellent. Parts of this book read like chunks of engineering textbooks, but it adds a certain level of realism that is often lacking in fiction that contains science (sorry CSI fans, in real life there isn't a magical machine that tells you everything).
My real issue with this story was that the overarching story arc from the last three books seemed to be resolved only in the last 50 pages or so and was done (SPOILERS) in a manner very similar to the ends of the previous two books. I wish there had been a bit more focus on Davy and his "find THEM" missions, and that he had actually hunted them down with Cent and all her new government buddies rather than just having someone get captured again and using variations on their jumping skills to escape. I was also hoping for Cent using some of her publicity to go to the public and say, "We've been running from these people for 20 years and we know who they are," but that did not happen. One last gripe: the last chapter or so read a bit like an Animal House-style movie epilogue: a "Here's what happened to each of these characters" kind of deal.
