The New Watch: (Night Watch 5) - Tapa blanda

"This is slick, clever, assured urban fantasy, told with style, and shot through with wry humour." (Crime Review)

"If you’ve been following Russkie Lukyanenko’s excellent parallel universe series you’ll have rushed out and bought this book already... the Watch books are deeper and meatier than most of their kind." (4 star review, Weekend Sport)

The next heart-stopping chapter in the Night Watch series.

Walking the streets of our cities are the Others. These men and women have access to the Twilight, a shadowy parallel world of magical power that exists alongside our own. Each has sworn allegiance to one side, fighting for the Light, or the Darkness. But now, beyond the continuing struggle comes a peril that threatens their very world ...

At Moscow airport, Higher Light Magician Anton Gorodetsky overhears a child screaming that a plane is about to crash. He discovers that the child is a prophet: an Other with the gift of foretelling the future. When the catastrophe is averted, Gorodetsky senses a disruption in the natural order, one that is confirmed by the arrival of a dark and terrifying predator.

From the Night Watch headquarters Gorodetsky travels to London, to Taiwan and across Russia in search of clues, unearthing as he goes a series of increasingly cataclysmic prophecies. He soon realises that what is at stake is the existence of the Twilight itself – and that only he will be able to save it.
