About this listen
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....

In the world where hundreds of millions of people have been displaced from their homes by the Deluge - a hundred-foot-rise in sea level from melting ice caps - Partricia Beenan is lucky. She is still an American citizen with the right to live on the continent, unlike so many 'wetfoots' whose homes lie deep under the waves or the refugees from nations now completely under water.

Story
After global devastation, the last remnants of Earth sent a handful of colonists of a distant terraformed world to give humanity one last, desperate chance. Unable to provide the technology required for an advanced civilization, the founders instilled in the colonists a strict code of conduct and gave them a few precious imprinting devices: glass helmets that contain all of Earth's scientific knowledge. Once in a generation, the heir to the province of Laal begins the arduous training required to survive the imprinting of the Glass Helm and acquire the knowledge of the lost Earth.

Quicker is a near-future SciFi/Thriller whose young heroine, Ell Donsaii, is an intrepid athletic phenom who reminds one of David Weber's Honor Harrington. Like Stieg Larsson's Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Ell is also a mathematical genius who, instead of counting sheep, works on her own theory of quantum mechanics to help her drift off to sleep. At once shy and concerned about her social skills, yet well loved by those around her, she finds herself at the center of a terrorist plot at the Olympics.

There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Where does Reflex rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Near the top. I'm a big fan of super powers, magic in the modern world, advanced tech in the modern world, and things of that nature. This is along those lines. It's similar to the movie, but far different enough to be better, as original books usually are.Who was your favorite character and why?
Davy, because he's the main character and he is figuring out new things about his power. That's why we listened to it after all.What about MacLeod Andrews’s performance did you like?
The realism which he brings to the characters. The different voices and accents truly make the story better.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I wasn't moved, but Davy moved some things. hahahaha.Any additional comments?
2nd book in the series and though it is different from the first, it is still good. A little slow but still entertaining. I am also not a big fan of torture and brainwashing, even though I know it is fiction (but how cool would it be if there were people who could do things like this), it still bothers me when good people are being tortured or kids are getting hurt. Davy is out to do what is right.Now you see me...

Couldn't put it down
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The other, parallel, storyline follows Millie in her attempts to rescue Davey. I wasn't particularly intrigued by that part at any point but it was a compelling drama at times.
There is a good deal of torture in this one but it's not your traditional cutting/electrocuting/burning/etc. business. It's more... sophisticated. There are two last things that should be mentioned. One is that Davey gains a new and fun manipulation of his powers in this installment. The other is a spoiler. I choose to include this because I found it to be quite jarring to my immersion in the story and because when it comes up in the story it is just as random and unsupported as throwing it out now in a review. Nevertheless, IF YOU DON'T WANT THE SPOILER TURN BACK NOW...
Millie gains the ability to jump in this book. There is no reason given as to why other than it makes it easy for her to rescue Davey. It felt very much like an artificial plot development that the author used as a tool to make things work out. Moreover, it really ruined the feeling that had built up in the first book that jumping is a very special and unique ability. There are very few mutant stories that have only one person with the mutation and I kind of liked that from the first book. It seemed as though Millie got it at random just because the author didn't want her to feel left out being married to Davey, which is very disappointing to me and almost made me drop the story rating to 3 stars.
That said, despite the one very jarring development, this novel has a lot of interesting ideas and situations going for it and is a good addition to the jumper universe and brings a new perspective from the first book. I recommend it, with one reservation.
A new take on being a jumper
