Mesmerising. There are echoes of Neuromancer and Arrival in here, but this astonishing debut is beholden to no-one
A fiercely weird, breathtaking biopunk tale of alien invasion, Rosewater is ambitious and smart and very, very cool
Mind-expanding and utterly addictive
Hugely satisfying . . . a darkly beautiful gem
Breathtakingly smart prose
A magnificent tour de force, skilfully written and full of original and disturbing ideas
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
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
Rosewater asks you uncomfortable questions about what is right, what is wrong, what you'll tolerate, and what is human
Smart. Gripping. Fabulous!
Hard-edged and utterly compelling
