Im Jahr 2067 hat sich Rosewater, die Stadt, die ihren Wohlstand dem Alien Wormwood verdankt, von Nigeria losgesagt. Eine Entscheidung, die bei der nigerianischen Regierung nicht auf Gegenliebe stößt. Im Gegenteil: Der Präsident ist nicht bereit, die prosperierende Stadt kampflos in die Freiheit zu entlassen. Jack Jacques, der ebenso ehrgeizige wie charismatische Bürgermeister von Rosewater, hat fest mit Wormwoods Unterstützung gerechnet, denn die Kuppel des Alien hatte die Stadt jahrelang gegen alle Aggressoren von außen verteidigt. Doch Wormwood stirbt…

Kleine Flunkerei, große Wirkung: Weston Kogi kommt nach langen Jahren in England zur Beerdigung seiner Tante nach Alcacia, Westafrika, zurück und macht den Fehler, sich ein bisschen aufzuspielen und die Leute glauben zu lassen, er sei in London ein Police Detective. Ist er aber nicht, nur Wachmann in einem Einkaufszentrum. Er wird von zwei rivalisierenden Rebellengruppen mehr oder weniger gezwungen, den Mord an einem Konsenspolitiker aufzuklären, bzw. den Mord jeweils der anderen Rebellengruppe anzuhängen.

Rosewater ist eine Stadt an der Grenze - an der Grenze zu der Biokuppel, die die außerirdischen Woodworm in Nigeria, unweit von Lagos, errichtet haben. Angesiedelt haben sich dort die Hoffnungsvollen, die Hungrigen und die Hilflosen -all diejenigen, die dabei sein wollen, wenn sich ein Mal im Jahr dieser Dom öffnet und jeden, der sich in dessen Umgebung befindet, von seinen Leiden heilt. 2066 - Kaaro besitzt die außergewöhnliche Fähigkeit, über die von den Aliens verbreitete, sporenartige Xenosphäre auf Gedanken, Gefühle und Erinnerungen anderer Menschen zuzugreifen.

Some of the sleepers, however, will never wake - and a profound and sinister mystery unfolds aboard the gigantic vessel. Its skeleton crew are forced to make decisions that will have repercussions for all of humanity's settlements - from the scheming politicians of Lagos station, to the colony planet of Bloodroot, to other far-flung systems and indeed Earth itself.

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 realisation about a horrifying future.
