I was going to ask if you're reading the original Jumper, or Jumper: Griffin's Story but I find that the later is not out yet.

They kept the 'idea' of a jumper, and threw the rest of it away.

You might also pick up Reflex, Jumper's sequel. It's quite as good as the original, but certainly pretty awesome.
