Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"One of the most imaginative alien invasion scenarios I have come across."--Aliette de Bodard, Nebula and BSFA award-winning author

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

"Compellingly strange yet accessible... a character-driven, morally grey tale of hope and potential redemption."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"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."--Lavie Tidhar

"Inventive and creepy... revolutionary."--Ozy

"Deeply imagined characters and vibrant, startling imagery... An author to watch."--B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog

"Inventive aliens and realistic-feeling invasion... keen observations of how easily people ignore and accept what should be terrifying... intriguing characters (many of them women) who have lives of their own beyond the pages... fascinating."--Strange Horizons

"Original, entertaining, and food for thought. Tade Thompson is an exciting new voice in our field and I can't wait to read more of his work."--Pat Cadigan

"Mesmerising. There are echoes of Neuromancer and Arrival in here, but this astonishing debut is beholden to no one."--M. R. Carey

"Smart. Gripping. Fabulous!"--Ann Leckie

Kaaro is a government agent with a criminal past. He has seen inside the biodome, and doesn't care to again -- but when something begins killing off others like himself, Kaaro must defy his masters to search for an answer, facing his dark history and coming to a realization about a horrifying future.
