    Praise for Rosewater

    • A character-driven, morally grey tale of hope and potential redemptionPart 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 wantedThis thrilling, ambitious novel offers a deftly woven and incisive blend of science fiction, psychology, action and mystery. Highly recommendedOne of the most imaginative alien invasion scenarios I have come acrossA fiercely weird, breathtaking biopunk tale of alien invasion, Rosewater is ambitious and smart and very, very coolMesmerising. There are echoes of Neuromancer and Arrival in here, but this astonishing debut is beholden to no-oneSmart. Gripping. Fabulous!A magnificent tour de force, skilfully written and full of original and disturbing ideas
