The Rosewater Insurrection: Book 2 of the Wormwood Trilogy

Tade Thompson

3 Reviews

Rated 0

The Wormwood Trilogy, Fiction, Science fiction

The second volume in a vibrant and compellingly told trilogy by one of science fiction's most engaging new voices - perfect for fans of N. K. Jemisin's THE FIFTH SEASON, Ann Leckie's ANCILLARY JUSTICE and Jeff Vandermeer's SOUTHERN REACH trilogy.

The year is 2067. The city of Rosewater is chaotic, vibrant and full of life - some of it extra-terrestrial.

The charismatic mayor, Jack Jacques, has declared Rosewater a free state, independent to Nigeria. But the city's alien dome is dying. Government forces await its demise, ready to destroy Rosewater's independence before it has even begun.

And in the city's quiet suburbs, a woman wakes with no memory of who she is - with memories belonging to something much older and much more alien.

Praise and accolades for ROSEWATER:

Winner of the inaugural Nommo Award for Best Novel, Africa's first award for speculative fiction
Shortlisted for the Kitschie Award for Best Novel 2019

Praise for The Rosewater Insurrection: Book 2 of the Wormwood Trilogy

  • 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

  • A character-driven, morally grey tale of hope and potential redemption

  • This thrilling, ambitious novel offers a deftly woven and incisive blend of science fiction, psychology, action and mystery. Highly recommended
