Kaaro is a government agent with a criminal past. He has seen inside the biodome, and doesn't care to again -- but when something begins killing off others like himself, Kaaro must defy his masters to search for an answer, facing his dark history and coming to a realization about a horrifying future.

Review
"Mesmerising. There are echoes of Neuromancer and Arrival in here, but this astonishing debut is beholden to no one."―M. R. Carey
"Smart. Gripping. Fabulous!"―Ann Leckie
"Nothing short of brilliant.... A captivating, cerebral work of science fiction that may very well signal a new definitive voice in the genre."―Kirkus
"A magnificent tour de force, skillfully written and full of original and disturbing ideas."―Adrian Tchaikovsky
"Thompson's genius in displacing his tale of successive xenobiological attacks from the West onto the developing world is matched by his breathtakingly smart prose.... Deeply engrossing."―The Seattle Review of Books
"One of the most thoughtful and inventive alien contact tales of recent decades."―Locus
"A sharply satirical, ingenious thriller about an alien invasion that's disturbing familiar. Tade Thompson has built a fascinating world that will suck you in and keep you guessing. This book will eat you alive, and you'll like it."―Annalee Newitz
"Compellingly strange yet accessible... a character-driven, morally grey tale of hope and potential redemption."―Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Intriguing Afrofuturistic tale [that] features an incredible mashup of alien contact and human-centered power, delivering a stark and gritty story that will keep readers engaged."―Library Journal
"Deeply imagined characters and vibrant, startling imagery... An author to watch."―B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog
