All is quiet in the city of Rosewater as it expands on the back of the gargantuan alien Wormwood. Those who know the truth of the invasion keep the secret.

The government agent Aminat, the lover of the retired sensitive Kaaro, is at the forefront of the cold, silent conflict. She must capture a woman who is the key to the survival of the human race. But Aminat is stymied by the machinations of the Mayor of Rosewater and the emergence of an old enemy of Wormwood.

Review of 'The Rosewater Insurrection' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

This is a level up from the first novel, which was already very good. Thompson's characters are compelling. His villains are complex and draw you to their side. The insurrection itself, while being significant to humans, is only a minor part of the story here, which is truly a choice made by humans of throwing the dice or being thrown.

A full review is coming, but in the meantime, do yourself a favor and get this story.
