""The Rise of Rodedom is a historical novel that uses animal imagery to explore global dynamics, focusing on Africa. Andrew Nyongesa nostalgically examines Africa's early history while predicting its future. He employs neologisms and allegory to transform factual historical data into an engaging narrative. The work is a poignant quest for the unity of Africa, portraying the continent as a nurturing mother, guiding father, and wise grandfather to others. Nyongesa's style allows him to critique and challenge Africa's issues boldly, offering insights for its future without reservation."" - Felix Okuku.
