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 rumored 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 realization about a
horrifying future.
Tade Thompson's innovative, genre-bending, Afrofuturist series, the
Wormwood Trilogy, is perfect for fans of Jeff Vandermeer, N. K. Jemisin,
and Ann Leckie.
