Jumper Franchise

In 1993 Steven Gould published a novel named Jumper. It tells the story of Davy, a teenager who escapes an abusive household using his ability to teleport. As he tries to make his way in the world, he searches for his mother (who left when he was a child), develops a relationship with a woman he keeps his ability secret from, and is eventually brought into conflict with several antagonists.

In 2004, Steven released a sequel to Jumper named Reflex. This follors Davy as an adult.

In August 2007, Steven also released a novel named Jumper: Griffin's Story to be aligned with the new character Griffin O'Connor in the film.

On February 14, 2008, a film adaptation of the book was released. Directed by Doug Liam, the film only follows the novel through the very early beginning.
