The science of the pressure suit and such seems to be based on that high altitude record-breaker Felix Baumgartner but the science becomes a bit more wobbly when it comes to teleportation. Cent’s chapters of the novel is done in first person with the rest in third person. The story then tracks how she gets the custom pressure suit built and turns this into a business with the NASA being the chief employer even if they don’t know how she does it as she puts satellites into orbit and removes space debris within certain weight limits. Life is relatively safe for this family of teleporters now and Cent with a sense of adventure wants to see how high up she can teleport and then finds she needs a pressure suit to go low orbital. Not named after the American currently, but to interpret the same name ‘Millicent’ that she and her mother share. ‘Exo’, the third novel in the ‘Jumper’ series, focuses more on Davey and Millie’s daughter, Cent.
