Synopsis

The Rosewater Redemption concludes the award-winning, cutting edge Wormwood trilogy, set in Nigeria, by one of science fiction's most engaging new voices.
Life in the newly independent city-state of Rosewater isn't everything its citizens were expecting. The Mayor finds that debts incurred during the insurrection are coming back to haunt him. Nigeria isn't willing to let Rosewater go without a fight. And the city's alien inhabitants are threatening mass murder for their own sinister ends... Operating across spacetime, the xenosphere, and international borders, it is up to a small group of hackers and criminals to prevent the extra-terrestrial advance. The fugitive known as Bicycle Girl, Kaaro, and his former handler Femi may be humanity's last line of defense.
Tade Thompson's innovative, genre-bending, Afrofuturist series, the Wormwood Trilogy, is perfect for fans of Jeff Vandermeer, N. K. Jemisin, William Gibson, and Ann Leckie.

Review:

"A fitting end to this trilogy, which, in even its trippiest moments, maintains a plausibility that others in this subgenre often lack."―Kirkus (starred review)

"The concluding volume of Tade Thompson enormously inventive trilogy of humanity's first contact with aliens goes for broke."―B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog

"Smart. Gripping. Fabulous!"―Ann Leckie, award winning-author of Ancillary Justice on Rosewater

"Mesmerising. There are echoes of Neuromancer and Arrival in here, but this astonishing debut is beholden to no one."―M. R. Carey, bestselling author of The Girl with all the Gifts on Rosewater

"A magnificent tour de force, skillfully written and full of original and disturbing ideas."―Adrian Tchaikovsky, Arthur C. Clarke Award winning author of Children of Time on Rosewater

"Thompson's genius in displacing his tale of successive xenobiological attacks from the West onto the developing world is matched by his breathtakingly smart prose.... Deeply engrossing."―The Seattle Review of Books on Rosewater

"A sharply satirical, ingenious thriller about an alien invasion that's disturbing familiar. Tade Thompson has built a fascinating world that will suck you in and keep you guessing. This book will eat you alive, and you'll like it."―Annalee Newitz, author of Autonomous on Rosewater

"Part thriller, part mystery and part phantasmagoric journey across a strange yet not-too-distant future, and reminiscent at times of both Roger Zelazny and Nnedi Okorafor, Rosewater is the hardboiled, Nigerian alien invasion story you always wanted."―Lavie Tidhar, award winning author of Central Station on Rosewater

"Compellingly strange yet accessible... a character-driven, morally grey tale of hope and potential redemption."―Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Rosewater

"Deeply imagined characters and vibrant, startling imagery... An author to watch."―B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog on Rosewater
