All that stands between darkness and light is The Night Watch...

The phenomenal Russian bestseller (over a million copies sold in hardcover). First of the Night Watch Trilogy, gloriously readable vampire novels set in a richly realised post-Soviet Moscow that have sold for huge advances accross Europe

Walking the streets of Moscow, indistinguishable from the rest of its population, are the Others. Possessors of supernatural powers and capable of entering the Twilight, a shadowy parallel world existing in parallel to our own, each Other owes allegiance either to the Dark or the Light.

The Night Watch, first book in the Night Watch series, follows Anton, a young Other owing allegiance to the Light. As a Night Watch agent he must patrol the streets and metro of the city, protecting ordinary people from the vampires and magicians of the Dark.

The Night Watch is an engaging and well-written novel about 'others'; people with magical abilities fighting for either the light or the dark in an endless tug-of-war for power. This concept seems basic enough, but through Lukyanenko's unique writing style and the mesmerising setting of Moscow the story truly comes to life.

The Night Watch is a set of three stories focusing around an 'other' named Anton; a magician who works for the light and defends the city against the darkness during the night, but it isn't as simple as black and white. As the line between good and evil starts to blur Anton starts to question the morality of his job and whether he really is working for the good guys.

I came into this novel knowing very little about it, but it has proven to be a very enjoyable read. The three stories are all fairly different and yet tie in together as they question the true morality behind good and evil. Even though it has some dull parts its realistic and original take on magic makes it a must read for any Harry Potter fans or fans of the genre.
