R. PATRICK GATES IS A WRITER TO BE RECKONED WITH. HE SPITS IN THE FACE OF CONVENTION AND GOES STRAIGHT FOR THE THROAT!--MIKE BAKER, AFRAID MAGAZINE. JUMPERS! A near fatal sledding accident sends a young girl to the hospital where a sudden, random act of violence, changes her life--her essential being--forever and sets in motion a series of events leading to the ultimate battle between the forces for good, Jumpers, and the forces of evil, terrifyingly brought to life in the form of the Shadow Monster. JUMPERS! Three people share an extraordinary power: the ability to cross over from the realm of the living to the land of the dead. They are the Jumpers, and they stand alone against the purest evil mankind has ever known, an ancient evil--THE EVIL! Anna Wheaton, nine years old and in a coma after a sledding accident, travels freely between life and death. She is accompanied by Deedee Blaine and Kevin Lucier, who share her ability. Together, these three Jumpers must defeat the Shadow Monster and change the fate of the living forever. IF YOU HAVEN'T GOTTEN AROUND TO R.
