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 . . .

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

Goodreads review by Anthony on November 22, 2019

This, the final book in The Wormwood Trilogy, was as enjoyably imaginative, trippy, and compelling as the first two books.

Goodreads review by Bradley on October 26, 2019

All three of these Wormwood books are perfect for Weird fans. Not that you have to be weird as a fan to enjoy them, merely that you must enjoy Weird fiction, be tolerant of cthulhu-like alien entities who provide rather miraculous services in return for a foothold in humanity.

Quotes

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
