Publisher Description
Steven Gould's classic SF novel Jumper is the story of a young man with a single mysterious superpower: he can teleport anywhere, in the blink of an eye. Now, in a story set after Jumper's sequel Reflex, we see that a single mysterious superpower can add up to a lot of different kinds of miracle…
In 2008 Jumper was brought to the screen as a big-budget SF adventure of the same name, directed by Doug Liman and starring Hayden Christiansen and Samuel L. Jackson. The movie rearranged the story line and gave the protagonist a teleporting sidekick. When the movie's producers expressed a desire to see a novel published about the sidekick's backstory, Gould chose to write the book himself; it was published as Jumper: Griffin's Story (2007), and is not canonical with the other two "Jumper" novels. "Shade" takes place in the world of the novels, not the alternate continuity of the movie.

Customer Reviews
Another interesting Davy/Millie story
I read a sampling of this one on the authors website, digitalnoir , and thought it was pretty good. I wish I could find it in print, not just e-format.
Made me smile.
This was such a good short story, and the ending was the best part. Not going to spoil it but it really made me smile. A shame it was so short but it ended on the perfect note.
Nice short story
I thought it was pretty good. A great way to spend half an hour. Fun to come back to Jumpers characters without going into much detail. You don't even need to have read jumper to enjoy Shade.
