Isnt there another book? about the irish jumper? Griffin I think was his name?
The new Jumper: Griffin's Story is set in the universe of the movie, not the universe of the first two novels.

Good synopsis, mikegarrison. 
The first book was very entertaining. The second was too, except those conditioning scenes made me rather uncomfortable. Stephen Gould's other books, by the way, are good reads as well - check them out if you want some entertaining young-adult sci-fi.
As stated above, the story was heavily changed for the movie adaptation, and Gould released a new book told from that perspective. I haven't read that nor seen the movie, but I'll probably catch the movie as a rental eventually.
