There are some great "girl power" scenes as 17 year old Cent starts a business in outer space and has funny interactions with the military and NASA.Īnother problem I had - there was a threat to Cent's family, an evil organization out to get them which was the main subject of the 2nd book Reflex. Cent develops her "Jumper" powers in ways her parents never imagined and deals with her friends made in the last novel. ![]() For another novel that did this better, see Red Thunder by John Varley.Īside from these barriers, it is a fairly enjoyable continuation of the story of Cent (Millicent) and her Mom (Millie) and Dad (Davy). Now this book, there is a lot of info dumping about building a pressure suit to withstand outer space, building a space station out of dirigibles - the hulls protected by ice - well, a lot of scientific facts and theories - but in the end it's probably not as easy as the writer thinks and I get too tired to care. On the Flash TV show, they spout out a fact like "you need to reach 600 mph to run up walls, but make sure to keep that velocity on the way down" - that's all I need. If you're into the characters and can already suspend disbelief, why does it matter? I am sure it does to certain readers but not me. Too much science info-dumping nearly made this novel impossible to get through, I had to skim certain sections. ![]()
