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.

ANDREW BROMFIELD is a founding editor of the Russian literature journal Glas.  He is best known for his acclaimed translations of Victor Pelevin and Boris Akunin, and his work has been short listed for numerous translation prizes.

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.
