“On Earth, they depicted justice as blindfolded and impartial, but out here on the frontier, she was red in tooth and claw.”
Jupiter and Saturn are gone, and a mysterious force has built a huge habitable sphere from their ashes. When criminals try to lose themselves on this new frontier, bounty hunters like Copernicus Brown and the crew of his sentient ship Jitterbug get paid to hunt them down.
But when Brown rescues Amber Roth, sole survivor of a pirate attack, the Jitterbug and her crew find themselves the target of powerful political factions who want control of the data chip hidden in Roth’s stomach.
And all the while, something vast and ancient creeps towards them from the depths of space…
A cracking fast-paced read, full of action and human drama.
-Adrian Tchaikovsky, award-winning author of Children of Time and Alien Clay
Jitterbug is a thrilling journey filled with witty banter, unlikely allies and friendships, secrets and sacrifices, and found family, exploring the cyclical nature of both history and the future, and the way our fates are often shaped not just by choice but also by luck and coincidence.
-Ai Jiang, author of A Palace Near the Wind
Jitterbug is a haunting, propulsive odyssey across the ruins of our solar system-where justice, grief, and the ghosts of creation itself collide. Gareth L. Powell writes with both fire and tenderness, crafting a space opera that pulses with human ache amid cosmic wonder. It's poetic, cinematic, and deeply humane-science fiction with a beating heart and a reckoning soul.
-Cynthia Pelayo, Bram Stoker AwardÆ-winning author of Children of Chicago and The Shoemaker's Magician
Every time I thought I had the flight path of Jitterbug all figured out, Gareth L. Powell banked a hard left in the most delightful way. From space pirate brawls to bounty hunter chases and political machinations, Powell pairs thrills with richly imagined characters that pulse with life. I don't think I've ever rooted so hard for a shipboard AI. Bold and cinematic, Jitterbug proves that Powell is a master of scale-balancing galaxy-spanning stakes with moments of vibrant, intimate heart.
-Nathan Tavares, author of A Fractured Infinity
Imagine the solar system as a mighty ocean full of pirates and you have the beating heart of Jitterbug - a roaring whirlwind of a novel, full of adventure, emotion, wit and great characters.
-David Quantick, author of All My Colours
