Tade Thompson's innovative, genre-bending, Afrofuturist series, the Wormwood Trilogy, is perfect for fans of Jeff Vandermeer, N. The fugitive known as Bicycle Girl, Kaaro, and his former handler Femi may be humanity's last line of defense. 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. Clarke Award for Best Science Fiction Novel, winner Nommo Award for Best Speculative Fiction Novel, winner Rosewater is a town on the edge. I for one look forward to reading the rest of the trilogy. Rosewater is the start of an award-winning trilogy set in Nigeria, by one of science fiction's most engaging voices. Kaaro is a damaged individual with unbelievable powers and although hes had a colourful existence there is still some heart and something worth following in our first-person protagonist. And the city's alien inhabitants are threatening mass murder for their own sinister ends. The world building is very good and it mainly takes places in Lagos and the fictional Rosewater. Nigeria isn't willing to let Rosewater go without a fight. The Mayor finds that debts incurred during the insurrection are coming back to haunt him. Life in the newly independent city-state of Rosewater isn't everything its citizens were expecting. The Rosewater Redemption concludes the award-winning, cutting edge Wormwood trilogy, set in Nigeria, by one of science fiction's most engaging new voices.
