Clementine Khoza is a hard person: hard to know, hard to love, hard to fight. As a little girl, her grandfather put a stick and a shield in her hands and taught her the ancient stick-fighting art of her Zulu ancestors. The hard way. And right now she is in a hard place, searching for Drew, her young son – kidnapped and drawn into the heart of a vicious gang conflict. Ex-army and ex-cop, Clementine has tracked Drew’s phone to Welcome Shade – a sprawling retirement estate that has fallen into disrepair to become a gang-infested war-zone. With nothing but a talent for violence, a drone piloted by a skinny Afrikaans street kid as her eye-in-the-sky, and a huge dog with ptsd who tried to kill her and then, somehow, became her sidekick, she’ll wield stick and shield, machete and shotgun, and wade through a sea of bodies to find her son. But the gangs are only part of the problem. Dark, twisted things stalk the estate: nightmare creatures, elite military snipers working as mercenaries and a sword-wielding man on a white horse who has made her and Drew part of his agenda. And then there are the memories and visions of her ancestors, and her own very special hallucination whom she nicknames ‘Glitch’. It’s going to be a hard day.
Charlie Human se Bokveld binnekort is 地 wonderlike toevoeging tot die versameling knap spekulatiewe fiksie wat die afgelope ruk deur Suid-Afrikaanse skrywers soos Lauren Beukes, Sarah Lotz, en S.A. Partridge gelewer is. Die hoofkarakter, Baxter Zevcenko, is 地 sestienjarige hardebaard wat 地 pornografiesindikaat op sy skool se speelgrond bedryf. Baxter is vlymskerp, het 地 donker sin vir humor en die roman is ryk aan heerlike pittighede. Die hel is los wanneer Baxter se meisie Esme ontvoer word en hy met 地 skok op Kaapstad se bonatuurlike onderwereld afkom. 地 Ongewone tand op die toneel van Esme se verdwyning help Baxter om kennis te maak met Jackie Ronin, 地 man wat bonatuurlike monsters jag. Saam probeer hulle vir Esme opspoor en kruis hul wee met 地 gloeiende man uit Wes-Afrika, die berugte Koningin van die Nagsluipers en 地 waansinnige wapendeskundige genaamd Basson. Baxter probeer so hard om sin te maak van hierdie vreemde wereld dat hy nie agterkom dat hy deel is van Basson se bose plan wat die aarde bokveld toe kan stuur nie. Bokveld binnekort is 地 skreeusnaakse, opwindende en interessante boek wat deur meer lesers as wetenskapfiksiegeesdiftiges geniet sal word. Dit is fantasties in elke sin van die woord en is die begin van 地 belowende loopbaan vir hierdie jong skrywer. Die boek word gelyktydig in Suid-Afrika en in die Verenigde Koninkryk uitgegee.
