Publisher Description
Award-winning author, Steven Gould, returns to the world of his classic novel Jumper in Exo, the sequel to Impulse, blending the drama of high school with world shattering consequences.
Cent can teleport. So can her parents, but they are the only people in the world who can. This is not as great as you might think it would be—sure, you can go shopping in Japan and then have tea in London, but it's hard to keep a secret like that. And there are people, dangerous people, who work for governments and have guns, who want to make you do just this one thing for them. And when you're a teenage girl things get even more complicated. High school. Boys. Global climate change, refugees, and genocide. Orbital mechanics.
But Cent isn't easily daunted, and neither are Davy and Millie, her parents. She's going to make some changes in the world.

Customer Reviews
loved the orbital mechanics
this book combines incredibly realistic orbital mechanics and aerospace engineering with a dash of science fiction. I love this book. Just buy it already.
Gould went full Sci-fi.
I feel like I have just been through a grad-level class on orbital mechanics and spacesuit design. The amount of research that must have gone into the book is staggering. As I’m a space nerd, I’m a bit biased but for me this was absolutely the most enjoyable book in the series. It’s amazing how far Gould’s been able to expand the simple teleportation premise from Jumper over the course of the series. Here’s hoping he keeps going.
Exo
He pushes the boundaries of his motif in a logical direction: Space. An adventure unlike any other as Cent tries to start her own space program, while facing down demons from the past.
His writing style has matured significantly from his previous books, most notably leaving out his personal political jabs. His use of foul-language also improved and doesn’t feel as awkward. He waxes...engineer in places, but these portions can be skimmed without detracting from the story. They can also be carefully read and digested which adds to the space theme. I’ve read it 4 or 5 times and enjoyed it the most of his jumper series.
