Rosewater is a town on the edge. A community formed around the edges of a mysterious alien biodome, its residents comprise the hopeful, the hungry, and the helpless -- people eager for a glimpse inside the dome or a taste of its rumored healing powers.

Kaaro is a government agent with a criminal past. He has seen inside the biodome, and doesn't care to again -- but when something begins killing off others like himself, Kaaro must defy his masters to search for an answer, facing his dark history and coming to a realization about a horrifying future.

Tade Thompson's innovative, genre-bending, Afrofuturist series, the Wormwood Trilogy, is perfect for fans of Jeff Vandermeer, N. K. Jemisin, and Ann Leckie.

"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

Industry Reviews

"Deeply imagined characters and vibrant, startling imagery... An author to watch."--B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog "Inventive and creepy... revolutionary."--Ozy "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 "Compellingly strange yet accessible... a character-driven, morally grey tale of hope and potential redemption."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "One of the most imaginative alien invasion scenarios I have come across."--Aliette de Bodard, Nebula and BSFA award-winning author "This thrilling, ambitious novel offers a deftly woven and incisive blend of science fiction, psychology, action, and mystery. Highly recommended."--Kate Elliott "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 "Compellingly strange yet accessible ... a character-driven, morally grey tale of hope and potential redemption."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
