![]() Kaaro uses his mind wizardry for the government and also for a bank. The main timeline is Nigeria 2066 which is set in the city of Rosewater which was erected around an alien biodome where once a year an 'opening' occurs where civilians ailments and illnesses can be cured by this extraterrestrial presence. If Rosewater doesn't sound complex enough so far, throughout the narrative we follow three different timelines. I will not try to explain this extrasensory-like environment to any great degree but it can be quickly summarised as being a dream-esque space between certain peoples thoughts. ![]() Additionally, he can frequent a place known as the Xenosphere under his avatar as a Gryphon where he can fly. He can also manipulate people and occasionally make certain people believe they are burning alive. Kaaro can read minds, replay past events and understand individuals' whole life experiences within a matter of seconds. One is where he stops bank fraud and the other is more James Bond-esque, working for the government department of S45, which he doesn't really enjoy. ![]() ![]() He is a complex yet interesting protagonist who is a psychic.

The interracial dynamics and high school sporting plot all make for an engaging work, one well worthy of retaining in print forever Revoyr's The Necessary Hunger is absolutely pioneering: it may be the first work by an out, queer Asian American writer to be published out of a major press AND for that work to include a major queer Asian American lesbian courtship plot.

Their harrowing account offers telling detail on the savage battles that raged in the ravines and hills below the Chu Pong massif. Drawing on their own experiences, interviews with other participants, after-action reports, captured documents, and allied sources, the authors recall the four hellish days and nights of combat in or around helicopter landing zones that pitted elements of the 7th Cavalry (Custer's outfit) against a determined foe fighting on his home ground.
