Rosewater is the start of an award-winning trilogy set in Nigeria, by one of science fiction's most engaging voices.
*Arthur C. Clarke Award for Best Science Fiction Novel, winner
*Nommo Award for Best Speculative Fiction Novel, winner
*John W. Campbell Award, runner-up
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.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Nothing short of brilliant.... A captivating, cerebral work of science fiction that may very well signal a new definitive voice in the genre."—Kirkus
"Thompson's genius in displacing his tale of successive xenobiological attacks from the West onto the developing world is matched by his breathtakingly smart prose.... Deeply engrossing."—The Seattle Review of Books

While the story relates a plausible theory for the fungal spore generated xenosphere along with other hard sci-fi elements, there is a mystical quality to xenosphere itself. The aliens represent a diverse set of viewpoints which is welcome. Both the US and UK seem to have gone dark as a result of earlier involvement with the aliens which offers a darker side of their presence. The bulk of the tale however, focuses on the opaqueness of national intelligence communities and the utter confusion they seem to convey. There is clearly an alien agenda that only becomes apparent near the end.
The narration is well done with good character distinction as well as accents that do not impede understanding. Pacing is on the slow side.

The story, while interesting and quite unusual, was not my cup of tea. I probably would not have stuck through the entire book if it was not for the truly excellent narration. Some books have awful narration, most books have adequate narration, and then every once in a while you get someone truly outstanding who performs to a level worthy of an award. This is what you have here.
I will probably not listen to the other two books in the series, but I will be looking for other books narrated by Mr. Gbadamosi.

A character list and a word list would have helped to keep separate the authors unique creations like a floater a reanimate or a sensitive. I got them all straight eventually.
The reader was excellent. Once I got used to it, I loved listening to his accent.
I just could not get into it
