APOCALYPSE NOW NOW
It's mad and dark and irreverent and wonderfully twisted in all the right ways.'
-- Lauren Beukes, Author of Zoo City
Baxter Zevcenko is your average sixteen-year-old-boy - if by average you mean kingpin of a schoolyard porn syndicate and possible serial killer who suffers from surreal nightmares.Which may very well be what counts as average these days.
Baxter is the first to admit that he's not a nice guy. After all, if the guy below you falls, dragging you down into an icy abyss you have to cut him loose - even in high school. That is until his girlfriend, Esmé, is kidnapped and Baxter is forced to confront a disturbing fact about himself - that he has a heart, and the damn thing is forcing him to abandon high-school politics and set out on a quest to find her.
The clues point to supernatural forces at work and Baxter is forced to admit that he can't do it alone. Enter Jackie Ronin, supernatural bounty hunter, Border War veteran, and allround lunatic, who takes him on a chaotic tour of Cape Town's sweaty, occult underbelly.
What do glowing men, transsexual African valkyries, and zombie-creating arachnids have to do with Esmé's disappearance? That's what Baxter really, really needs to find out.
APOCALYPSE NOW NOW
Schatten ueber Cape Town
Deutsch von Clara Drechsler und Harald Hellmann
