Life in the newly independent city state of Rosewater isn’t everything its citizens were expecting . . .

Mayor Jacques 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 among the city’s alien inhabitants, a group has emerged who murder humans to provide bodies for their takeover . . .

Operating across spacetime, the xenosphere and international borders, it is up to a small group of hackers and criminals to prevent the extraterrestrial advance. The fugitive known as Bicycle Girl, Kaaro and his old handler Femi, may be humanity’s last line of defence.

The Rosewater Redemption is the powerful conclusion to Tade Thompson’s award-winning Wormwood trilogy.

Reviews

i newspaper
Hard-edged and utterly compelling
M. R. Carey, author of THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS
Mesmerising. There are echoes of Neuromancer and Arrival in here, but this astonishing debut is beholden to no-one
Booklist
In addition to providing a gritty and intricately plotted science fiction mystery, Thompson's opening of the Wormwood Trilogy considers what it means to be human
Sam J. Miller
You've never been anywhere like Rosewater. And you've never seen an alien invasion like this. Tade Thompson will take you someplace incredible, full of unforgettable characters and deep insight. Rosewater cements his place as one of our boldest and most exciting new writers
SFX
Hugely satisfying . . . a darkly beautiful gem
Tasha Suri, author of EMPIRE OF SAND
A fiercely weird, breathtaking biopunk tale of alien invasion, Rosewater is ambitious and smart and very, very cool
Mike Brooks
Rosewater asks you uncomfortable questions about what is right, what is wrong, what you'll tolerate, and what is human
Mark Haddon, author of THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME
Mind-expanding and utterly addictive
Dave Hutchinson
As strange, vivid and intricate as the alien biosphere at its heart, Rosewater is a fabulous book and Tade Thompson is a writer of enormous heart and talent. Just brilliant
Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of CHILDREN OF TIME
A magnificent tour de force, skilfully written and full of original and disturbing ideas
Ann Leckie
Smart. Gripping. Fabulous!
