A SINISTER MESSAGE, A DIRE PROPHECY, AND AN ENEMY
UNLIKE ANYTHING THE NIGHT WATCH HAS EVER FACED.

For a millennium, the Others, a supernatural race of magicians, shapeshifters, vampires, and healers, have maintained an uneasy peace between Light Others and Dark Others that has protected both our world and the Twilight, a shadowy parallel world beneath our own.  Now, these rival factions must unite against the ultimate enemy.

A Light magician and high-ranking member of the Night Watch, Anton Gorodetsky fears nothing.  But lately the threats ore mounting.  A reincarnated vampire has been terrorizing Moscow, and is using the victims to send him a message.  His daughter's school is ambushed by a chimera unlike any he has seen.  And the Prophets have all reached the same chilling conclusion: Our world is running out of time.

If we are to stand a chance, the rival factions of Others must unite against this evil as the Sixth Watch.  But can they put aside their grievances with the world at stake?  Will it be enough?  Journeying from Russia to Paris, the Alps, and New York City, Anton comes in peace - but he is prepared for war.  For if he fails, no one is safe.

SERGEI LUKYANENKO was born in Kazakhstan and educated as a phsychiatrist.  He began publishing science fiction in the 1980s and has published more than twenty-five books, including many international bestsellers.  He lives in Moscow.

ANDREW BROMFIELD (translator) is a founding editor of the Russian literature journal Glas.  He is known for his acclaimed translations of Victor Pelevin and Boris Akunin and his work hes been short-listed for numerous translation prizes.

 Sergei Lukyanenko
Birth: 11 Apr 1968 Karatau, Kazakhstan, USSR
Notes:
From the back cover of The Genome.

Sergei Lukyanenko was born in Kazakhstan, then a republic of the Soviet Union.  In 1985 he entered the Alma-Ata Medical University, where he began to write science fiction and publish his first books.  Though Lukyanenko completed his medical course, he realized that he would never be a doctor.  In 1997 he moved to Moscow, and since then has published prolifically.  Many of his works have become bestsellers and have won science fiction awards.  Night Watch and Day Watch were released as films in 2004 and 2006, respectively.  Lukyanenko's writing has been translated into more than twenty languages and continues to be hugely popular.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
