What if you could jump? Go anywhere in the world in the blink of an eye? What would you do? Where would you go? What if you were only five years old? Griffin O'Connor jumped for the first time in front of a busload of tourists in Oxford; there was no hope of keeping his ability a secret. He was hunted from that day, on the run with his family, and then without them. His only hope is to stay alive and free until he can become the hunter himself. ANYWHERE IS POSSIBLE Jumper is a major motion picture from 20th Century Fox/New Regency Productions, starring Hayden Christensen, Samuel L. Jackson, Diane Lane, and Jamie Bell.

Davy has always been alone. He believes that he's the only person in the world who can teleport. But what if he isn't? A mysterious group of people has taken Davy captive. They don't want to hire him, and they don't have any hope of appealing to him to help them. What they want is to own him. They want to use his abilities for their own purposes, whether Davy agrees to it or not. And so they set about brainwashing him and conditioning him. They have even found a way to keep a teleport captive. But there's one thing that they don't know. No one knows it, not even Davy. And it might save his life....

Cuando sólo tenía cinco años, Griffin O'Conner "saltó" desde uno de los lugares más concurridos de Oxford, ante una muchedumbre de turistas y, en consecuencia, su familia tuvo que abandonar el Reino Unido para siempre. Griffin prometio no volver a utilizar esa desconcertante facultad cuando alguien pudiera verlo. Sin embargo, cuatro años despues se vio obligado a romper su promesa, cuando los hombres de Oxford les encontraron, sus padres fueron asesinados y el desperto cubierto de sangre en un desierto remoto. Griffin tuvo que espabilarse para sobrevivir solo, a zafarse de sus implacables perseguidores y aprender todo lo que pudo sobre los "saltos". Hasta que supo lo suficiente como para planear su venganza.Steven Gould es autor de diversos relatos de ciencia-ficcion y varias novelas, entre ellas las tres dedicadas a las aventuras de losjumpers, personas dotadas de poderes para teletransportarse a voluntad: Jumper (1999), en la que el personaje de Davy Rice hace su aparicion, Reflex (2004) y Jumper: The Griffin Story (2007).
