Praise for Sergei Lukyanenko's NIGHT WATCH
"Urban and sleek... a promising entry into what could be a modern horror epic." - ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"Compelling... [A] fantastic American debut... potent as a shot of vodka." - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review)
A dark and exhilarating hybrif of fantasy, vampire story, and detective potboiler, Twilight Watch is the third volume in the series that has become and international sensation.
Living among us are the "Others," an ancient race of humans with supernatural powers who must swear allegiance to either the Dark or the Light. A thousand-year treaty has maintained the balance of power between the two sides, but when a renegade Other absconds with a fabled book of spells and appears intent on using it to alter the course of humanity, the forces of Light and Dark must cooperate to stop him.
Anton, the hero from Night Watch, is back, but when the culprit turns out to be an old friend, the race against time becomes more urgent than ever. In a world where reality and magic commingle, and where different degrees of existence are layered one atop the other, nothing is ever quite what it seems.
SERGEI LUKYANENKO was born in Kazakhstan and educated as a psychiatrist. He began publishing science fiction in the 1980s and has published over twenty-five books. The three volumes of the Night Watch series have sold more than two million copies worldwide.
