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 . . .

The Rosewater Redemption is the powerful conclusion to Tade Thompson's award-winning Wormwood trilogy.
Critics Review
-
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
-
A fiercely weird, breathtaking biopunk tale of alien invasion, Rosewater is ambitious and smart and very, very cool
-
Mesmerising. There are echoes of Neuromancer and Arrival in here, but this astonishing debut is beholden to no-one
-
Smart. Gripping. Fabulous!

Rosewater asks you uncomfortable questions about what is right, what is wrong, what you'll tolerate, and what is human

A magnificent tour de force, skilfully written and full of original and disturbing ideas

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

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

Hugely satisfying . . . a darkly beautiful gem

Hard-edged and utterly compelling

Breathtakingly smart prose

Mind-expanding and utterly addictive
