Welcome to Litsy!

Part 2 of this Sci-fi invasion trilogy set in Nigeria, 2067. Thompson‘s novel is so gloriously African-centric that America has annexed itself from the rest of the world so there‘s no chance of them “saving the day” or some other “world-police” nonsense. Like book one, wild ideas pack this novel. There‘s action, violence, body horror, aliens and espionage, but this time, none of the chronological jumps that made book one so confusing.

Finally the second book has been translated to German as well! I've been waiting for so long, but it sure was worth it. Since we're now familiar with the characters and the setting, we're getting right into the story. Yes, one must've read book one first. If you did and enjoyed it, go ahead - I thought the second book was even better than the first one. And it's waiting for part three... Publishing date: 2023 😢

First restaurant on my own in forever, in the company of a book of course

Didn‘t expect to find myself rooting for Wormwood, but there you are. :)

Second book of the trilogy. I liked this (only slightly) less than the first book, partially because it felt all over the place. But it was exciting to be back in Thompson‘s rich world, and learning more about the alien presence that has taken up residence in Rosewater. I can‘t wait to see how it all ends!
