The Wormwood Trilogy
by Tade Thompson
Rosewater is a town on the edge. A community formed around the edges of a mysterious alien biodome, its residents comprise the hopeful, the hungry and the helpless - people eager for a glimpse inside the dome or a taste of its rumoured healing powers.
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 realisation about a horrifying future.
Rosewater: Insurrection 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.
Rosewater: Redemption 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 . . .
And among the city's alien inhabitants, a group has emerged who murder humans to provide bodies for their takeover . . .
Operating across spacetime, the xenosphere and international borders, it is up to a small group of hackers and criminals to prevent the extraterrestrial advance. The fugitive known as Bicycle Girl, Kaaro and his old handler Femi, may be humanity's last line of defence.
