Book description
Impulse by Steven Gould: A Thrilling Return to the Jumper Universe
Steven Gould masterfully continues his Jumper series with Impulse, a gripping audiobook that delves deep into the consequences of extraordinary abilities in an ordinary world. While Gould's earlier work established the foundation, Impulse elevates the stakes significantly.
The story follows Cent, a teenager living in forced isolation with her parents, all while hiding from government agencies and shadowy organizations that would exploit their teleportation abilities. Gould crafts a compelling narrative around this family's desperate attempt to maintain normalcy while possessing something the world desperately wants.
What makes this audiobook particularly engaging is how Gould shifts focus from the initial discovery of powers to the psychological weight of living with them. Cent's character development shines through the audio format, especially during the pivotal avalanche scene where she instinctively teleports to safety. The narrator captures the raw terror and sudden revelation of her abilities perfectly.
Gould's strength lies in exploring how superhuman gifts become both blessing and curse. The author skillfully weaves themes of freedom, control, and identity throughout the story, making Cent's journey feel authentic and relatable despite the fantastical premise.
The audiobook format enhances Gould's storytelling, particularly during action sequences and emotional moments. The pacing keeps listeners invested as Cent transitions from protected isolation to suddenly finding herself in genuine danger.
Impulse succeeds as both a standalone thriller and a worthy continuation, proving Gould's ability to create compelling science fiction that prioritizes human drama over technological spectacle.
