The world has been massively unappreciative of sixteen-year-old Baxter Zevcenko. His bloodline may be a combination of ancient Boer mystic and giant shape-shifting crow, and he may have won an inter-dimensional battle and saved the world, but does anyone care? No.Instead he’s packed off to Hexpoort, part reformatory, part military school, and just like Hogwarts (except with sex, drugs, and better internet access). The problem is that Baxter sucks at magic. He’s also desperately attempting to control his new ability to dreamwalk, all the while being singled out by the school’s resident bully, who just so happens to be the Chosen One.But when the school comes under attack, Baxter needs to forget all that and step into action. The only way is joining forces with his favourite recovering alcoholic of a supernatural bounty hunter, Ronin, to try and save the world from the apocalypse. Again.

From School Library Journal Gr 9 Up—You would think that after 16-year-old half-breed magician Baxter Zevcenko saved the world, folks would be a little more grateful, but not so. Instead, he is sent away to Hexpoort, a reform/military school version of Hogwarts, to gain better control of his limited magical ability. He immediately runs afoul of the school bully, who may or may not be the Chosen One. After the school is attacked, Baxter will have to get a lot better a lot faster if he's going to have any chance to survive, let alone save the world again. This is the second book in the series and has a good deal to recommend it. Set in South Africa, it follows a similar track as the "Harry Potter" books and pokes fun at its similarities, but Baxter's world is profane, dark, and violent with rampant drug and alcohol use as well as sexual situations. The writing is fast-paced and occasionally funny, and the characters are interesting and often unique. On the down side, at times, Human loses the voice of his characters and they sound much older or out of place. Baxter's choice to be a better person and his struggle with the results and consequences of that plotline also seem contrived at times. These issues, however, do not take away from the overall story, which is generally a fun ride. VERDICT A solid choice for older teens who may have found Harry Potter a little too tame.—Erik Knapp, Davis Library, Plano, TX

Fun and entertaining, perhaps overdone on the graphic violence and cynicism... the author's writing gets uneven & references are used and abused, but the big ideas are great and they transcend the writing.

Worthy Follow-Up To Apocalypse Now Now By Michael Hicks After saving the world in Apocalypse Now Now, sixteen-year-old Baxter Zevcenko is off to school at Hexpoort to begin his training in magical abilities for recruitment into the ultra-secretive MK6. Unfortunately for Baxter, it’s not going to be a very easy semester… MK6 agents are winding up dead, and rebellion is fermenting within the community of The Hidden thanks to the work of the mysterious Muti Man. Oh, and Baxter has to endure the bullying of The Chosen One who thinks Baxter may have stolen his thunder by doing battle with an interdemensional villain last time around. Hexpoort is, after all, high school, even with a militaristic boot camp bent.Kill Baxter is seriously entertaining stuff, with a number of laugh-out-loud moments. There’s a passing similarity to the Harry Potter series, as Baxter is a smart and gifted young man, but imminently more foul-mouthed, manipulative, aggressive, and sarcastic than that Hogwart’s fellow. And his best friend is a violent alcoholic. So, yeah, there’s that. Although Baxter is making a conscious effort at being a better man and attending a pornography addiction anonymous group, it’s his battles against the Muti Man that will prove to be the most challenging aspect of his journey toward self-discovery.Returning to narrate is David Atlas, whose performance I enjoyed quite a bit. He brings a terrific amount of effort to the production, and voices Baxter exceedingly well. He also gives the secondary characters their own unique voices and inflections without hitting any false notes. My only complaint is that there were often some strangely long pauses throughout the narrative, section breaks not withstanding. I often thought Atlas was giving us breathing room between section breaks within a chapter, only to discover he was taking a break between paragraphs. It was a bit jarring, but thankfully this didn’t occur too often during dialogue exchanges. Still, it was enough to make me speed up the play-through, and I found that listening to this audiobook at 1.25X was preferable.As far as the writing goes, Charlie Human has a terrific voice and puts some interesting spins on his passages. I couldn’t help but smile when one character finally admitted that positive thinking just wasn’t his thing, and a particular sewer monster that figures into the book’s climax was well and nastily rendered. The Baxter books are clearly becoming a series that I’ll be sticking with for the long-haul, and Human introduces a few story threads in Kill Baxter that are clearly setting up a much larger story for the next book. The hints we’re given here have me itching for quite a lot more, and I can only hope that the wait isn’t too long.(Audiobook provided for review by the audiobookreviewer dot com)
