The novel explores the life of Griffin O'Connor as he uses his teleportation powers to hunt his parents' murderers. Rule One: Never jump where someone can see you. Rule Two: Never jump near home. Rule Three: Never jump to or from the same place twice. Rule Four: Only jump if you have, only if they find you. The first time it happened, Griffin O'Connor was only five years old; he jumped from the steps of the Martyr's Memorial in Oxford, in front of a busload of tourists. The second time it happened his family had to cross an ocean to protect his secret. But four years later Griff accidentally broke his parent's rules and jumped again. That night the men from Oxford found them, and by morning his parents had been murdered, leaving Griff alone, wounded and only nine years old. Griffin grows up with only two goals: to survive, and to kill the people who want him dead. And a Jumper bent on revenge is not going to let anything stand in his way.

Despite the relatively low earnings, the survey found that there had been an and#147;explosionand#148; in the number of titles being self-published; 53% of the respondents self-published for the first time in 2011, with 20% making their dand#233;but in 2010. |

| Popular authors increase output, some doubling to two books a year, to meet insatiable ebook demand |
|
Pity the poor authors in the days of the ebook. Whereas popular authors such as Lisa Scottoline used to produce one book a year, now they are writing two; while others such as Lee Child are churning out short stories in between novels in an attempt to satisfy their fans' demands for more output, lest the fans get bored waiting for the next work and go off and find a new favorite. Meanwhile, James Patterson is producing a dozen or more books each year, about half of which are co-written.
All this at the same time as the internet has changed readers' expectations that they'll be able to hear personally from their favorite authors via blogs, Twitter and Facebook updates. Would reclusive authors such as J.D. Salinger and Harper Lee be able to gain traction in today's market? Many publishers say no - that what once would have created an aura of intrigue around an author, is not a viable option in the age of interconnectivity. |
