The Rosewater redemption - Tade Thompson

Life in the newly independent city state of Rosewater isn't everything its citizens were expecting . . .

Mayor Jacques finds that debts incurred during the insurrection are coming back to haunt him.
Nigeria isn't willing to let Rosewater go without a fight . . .
And among the city's alien inhabitants, a group has emerged who murder humans to provide bodies for their takeover . . .

Operating across spacetime, the xenosphere and international borders, it is up to a small group of hackers and criminals to prevent the extraterrestrial advance. The fugitive known as Bicycle Girl, Kaaro and his old handler Femi, may be humanity's last line of defence.
