The idea for Jitterbug came from a desire to mash together the vibes of two of my favourite TV series, The Expanse and Cowboy Bebop. And when I imagined the giant, partially constructed Dyson sphere that plays a crucial part in the story, and realised what it was for, I had enough to start writing.

The cover of JITTERBUG by Gareth L Powell features a stylised rocket silhouette at the centre of an orrery, with a space suited figure dangling in its wake
