Rosewater – der Aufstand

In 2067, Rosewater, the city that owes its prosperity to the alien Wormwood, has broken away from Nigeria. A decision that does not meet with the approval of the Nigerian government. On the contrary: the president is not prepared to let the prosperous city go free without a fight.

Jack Jacques, the equally ambitious and charismatic mayor of Rosewater, has firmly counted on Wormwood's support, for the alien dome had defended the city for years against all outside aggressors. But Wormwood dies ...

Then, in the suburbs of Rosewater, a woman awakens who no longer knows that she is a wife and mother, but who feels all the more clearly that this body does not belong to her and that something much older, destructive, alien is slumbering inside her.

This woman becomes the last hope of the city beset by government troops. But few people are aware of the high price they must pay for her rescue, for the alien invasion, of which Wormwood was the vanguard, has long since begun. Will S45 agent Femi, ex-agent Kaaro and his partner Aminat still be able to avert the threat?

Rosewater - the Uprising is the highly acclaimed sequel to the award-winning prelude to the trilogy and follows on almost directly from the first volume Rosewater. Whereas in the first part everything was described from Agent Kaaro's point of view, Thompson now lets us follow along from the perspective of different narrators. A cleverly woven and concise mixture of science fiction, psychology, action and mystery that you won't want to put down.
