About this listen
Even the deadliest assassin in the galaxy had to start somewhere.
Snatched from a normal life, a young boy is thrust into a harsh existence of brutal training, learning he was taken not because he is skilled (he most certainly is not), but because he possesses an incredibly rare gift among his kind. The ability to steal a magic user’s power. A talent that could one day see him join the elite ranks of the galaxy’s greatest assassins. But first he must not only unlock this seemingly impossible power, but also succeed at what many aspirants fail. He must survive.
Author Note: This series follows the origins and adventures of Bawb, a fan favorite character from the Bad Luck Charlie books (the Dragon Mage series). This series contains no spoilers for the Charlie series. You do not need to have listened to the Charlie books first.
Also related to this series is the Space Assassins series, which takes place directly before these books. The Space Assassins series is closely related and many characters from that series also appear in these books. Note that there are some spoilers if you have not listened to the Space Assassins series first, but none that I feel will ruin that series.

Story
Sucked through a wormhole, Charlie's spaceship crash landed on a distant world, yet somehow he survived. But survival was about to get a lot harder as he found himself not just stranded on a new planet, but in another galaxy entirely. One ruled not by the laws of technology, but by magic. A realm of space pirates, deadly assassins, alien gladiators, and even dragons. For the spaceman from Earth, it was enough to make his head spin.

So you died a horrific death in your own world? No problem! Maybe you are exactly what an dying old mage needs to resurrect the princely line of the Morozov family. An old maniac sliced a couple of people to bits right before your eyes? Relax! Now he's your teacher, and he's going to guide you along through life. What? You've actually seen real demons? Huge, ten-foot-tall monsters wielding axes? Take a chill pill! They appear pretty frequently in unexpected places all over the world and wreak destruction.

Story
It seemed the unthinkable had happened. Someone had actually targeted the Ghalian, an order of assassins known and feared across the systems. It was madness. Only a fool would go after the likes of them. But, it seemed, the galaxy had no shortage of fools. Retaliation most bloody was in order, and one man stood ready to spring into action. Hozark was his name, and he was no ordinary man. He was a Master Ghalian, an assassin skilled in the ways of death. Practical, mechanical, magical, to him it made no difference.

Jiran is just a child when he receives shattered, imperfect memories of a past life. Nestled inside these emotionless visions is a magic very different to the density and mana he knows, the magic of science. The empire stands alone against the relentless beasts of Madra. Their only means of survival is harnessing the density that saturates her surface, a magic they cannot possibly understand. Will Jiran realize he holds the key to unlocking humanity's infinite potential before they are all wiped out?

No big deal. Emboldened by only his penknife and a weirdly profound understanding of runic sorcery, Nate must uncover if the path he has been thrust upon may spare his earthly existence. After all, why only leave your mark on one world… when you might leave it on two?

Refusing to give up on life, but seeing that nothing could save his home, he challenged himself to find a way out of such an inhospitable place.

Story
It seemed the unthinkable had happened. Someone had actually targeted the Ghalian, an order of assassins known and feared across the systems. It was madness. Only a fool would go after the likes of them. But, it seemed, the galaxy had no shortage of fools. Retaliation most bloody was in order, and one man stood ready to spring into action. Hozark was his name, and he was no ordinary man. He was a Master Ghalian, an assassin skilled in the ways of death. Practical, mechanical, magical, to him it made no difference.

Story
Sucked through a wormhole, Charlie's spaceship crash landed on a distant world, yet somehow he survived. But survival was about to get a lot harder as he found himself not just stranded on a new planet, but in another galaxy entirely. One ruled not by the laws of technology, but by magic. A realm of space pirates, deadly assassins, alien gladiators, and even dragons. For the spaceman from Earth, it was enough to make his head spin.

Story
As if nearly burning up in a freak accident on her way to Earth wasn't bad enough, Daisy had a whole mess of other trouble on her plate. Big trouble. And she was going to get to the bottom of it if it was the last thing she'd do, which it was starting to look like it very well might be. The thing is, Daisy had a simple rule for space travel. Don't blow up, and so far she'd been managing to abide by that, but mere survival wasn't enough.

WOW!!! Scott’s Best Yet!
I have listened to Daisy, Charlie’s, and Hozark’s books but the Bawb series (Assassin Series) is the best of all. Scott Baron has wrote a masterful description of Bawb’s early life in training and I cannot wait for more!!

Got to love Bawb
Having first meet Bawb in the Dragon Mage Series I couldn't wait to see the early life of my favorite character. This story did not disappoint. It is written so you don't need to know anything about previous books that take place in the universe. I can't wait for the next book.

It’s not what I expected for better or for worst
The performance is excellent, very well, and doesn’t have actual notes.
The story is much better than his other space assistants' books, but their passing for the book is slow, especially starting with our main character as a master deep into a mission. The litrpg elements fall flat and feel out of place. Also, the AI assists was meant to be some comic relief, but it feels like an afterthought bundled with this litrpg element. I finished the book, but I don’t have much drive to listen to the others.

Fan Serviced a bit but worth every word
With sequels like this I always worry the story will be more boring than anything else. In this case we got to see old characters and new ones come back in a tasteful way. I was already a fan of Hozark, Bud and Henni but Bawb is turning into another Gotham style arc

Great Start
Performance was strong by a narrator I was not familiar with. The plot was laid out pretty well, followed some good points for the "school arc" and with enough originality to keep it interesting. Overall well done. I am looking forward to the rest of the series.

An excellent entry point to Scott's "Dragon Mage" Universe. His writing has greatly over the course of over 20 books and it can clearly be seen here. I highly recommend giving it a listen, The book uses an incredible narrator to tell the story.

Best backstory I've listened to in a long time!
This is another great addition to the universe that brought us The Dragon Mage and the Clockwork Chimera series. Scott Baron brings us the story of how Bawb became the Gheist, and such a story! Mr. Baron brings his clever wit to this new story - I was laughing when Bawb was unable to!
The narrator does a superb job with the myriad of voices needed for this story. His timing is flawless! I am looking forward to hearing from him again.
Read/listen to this book! I could not put it down!

A Stellar Origin Story
From the moment I hit play on Assassins’ Academy I was hooked. This audiobook, a fantastic addition to Baron’s expansive universe, offers a gripping and sometimes humorous dive into the origins of Bawb, a beloved character from the Bad Luck Charlie series. As someone who’s devoured nearly 20 books in this intricate multiverse, I can confidently say that Assassins’ Academy is a standout but also fits in perfectly with the rest of the stories.
Baron’s ability to flesh out his world continually amazes me. Just when I thought I knew everything about this universe, Assassins’ Academy reveals the rich history of the Wampeh and Bawb’s early struggles. The story takes Bawb from a quiet orphan to a trainee in a brutal academy where failure could mean death. The narrative blends intense training sequences with moments of unexpected humor, a signature of Baron’s style that I’ve come to love. His knack for balancing seriousness and comedy is masterful, making the storyline both engaging and heartwarming.
Eric Bryan Moore’s narration is a perfect match for Baron’s writing. It’s evident that Moore is deeply in sync with Baron’s vision, bringing the characters to life with an authenticity that feels like he’s reading straight from Baron’s mind. Their collaboration feels like an old married couple who know each other’s strengths and play to them effortlessly. Moore’s performance in Assassins’ Academy enhances the already vibrant story, making it an unmissable listen for any fan of the series.
Overall, Assassins’ Academy is a thrilling, humorous, and deeply engaging start to Bawb’s journey. Whether you’re a long-time fan of Scott Baron’s universe or a newcomer, this audiobook offers a delightful mix of action, character development, and perfectly timed humor. It’s a testament to Baron’s storytelling prowess and Moore’s exceptional narration. Dive into this audiobook, and you won’t be disappointed!
Oh and can we talk about how gorgeous this cover is? Wooooo!
