“Simultaneously brutally grounded and wildly imaginative.” (Adrian Tchaikovsky, Arthur C. Clarke Award winner)
A murder mystery set within science fiction, this novel blends the genres into a pleasing whole. This is sci-fi first and also afrofuturism.
Tade Thompson FRSL is a British-born Nigerian psychiatrist and writer of Yoruba descent. He is best known for his 2016 science fiction novel Rosewater, which won a Nommo Award and an Arthur C. Clarke Award.
The characters were unique, interesting, and human. Even the AI.
The mystery was logical and inventive. The murderer’s identity was preserved was until the end and there was no convenient twist to spoil the ending.
Thompson is a talented author and fun to read.
