The Rosewater Insurrection

Reviews / Votes

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 -- Dave Hutchinson A fiercely weird, breathtaking biopunk tale of alien invasion, Rosewater is ambitious and smart and very, very cool -- Tasha Suri, author of EMPIRE OF SAND Mesmerising. There are echoes of Neuromancer and Arrival in here, but this astonishing debut is beholden to no-one -- M. R. Carey, author of THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS Smart. Gripping. Fabulous! -- Ann Leckie Rosewater asks you uncomfortable questions about what is right, what is wrong, what you'll tolerate, and what is human -- Mike Brooks A magnificent tour de force, skilfully written and full of original and disturbing ideas -- Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of CHILDREN OF TIME 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 -- Sam J. Miller 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 -- Booklist Hugely satisfying . . . a darkly beautiful gem -- SFX Hard-edged and utterly compelling -- i newspaper Breathtakingly smart prose -- SEATTLE REVIEW OF BOOKS Mind-expanding and utterly addictive -- Mark Haddon, author of THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME
