You didn't think this was the Last Watch, did you?

So I thought the Watches books were a trilogy until I saw this on the shelf at Barnes and Noble.  Had to get it.

PRAISE FOR NIGHT WATCH
"Urban and sleek... a promising entry into what could be a modern horror epic."
- Entertainment Weekly

"Night Watch is an epic of extraordinary power."
- Quentin Taratino

"Compelling... [A] fantastic American debut... potent as a shot of vodka."
- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

THE FOURTH NOVEL IN THE BLOCKBUSTER SERIES from one of Russia's most popular authors, Last Watch returns us to the hyper-imaginative world of Sergei Lukyanenko, where the endless battle between good and evil is about to reach its climax.

Anton Gorodetsky is just getting a feel for his new powers when his boss, Gesar, sends him to assist the Scottish Night Watch in Edinburgh in a murder investigation. A young Russian man has been murdered--apparently by a vampire. But the mystery is more than it seems, and soon Anton is himself in danger. The murderer appears to be someone with intimate knowledge of the Night Watch. Before long, Anton realizes that a plot is being hatched by the forces of both darkness and light that - unless he can intervene - may mean nothing less than Armageddon.

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.
