The Last Watch: (Night Watch 4)

Description

The sequel to Sergei Lukyanenko's bestselling Night Watch trilogy sees Anton investgating murder and conspiracy in Scotland. The Last Watch is the stunning sequel to the Night Watch trilogy, following the fortunes of the Others. Indistinguishable from normal people but possessed of supernatural powers and capable of entering the Twilight, a shadowy world that exists in parallel to our own, each Other owes allegiance either to the Dark, or to the Light... While on holiday in Scotland, visiting 'The Dungeons of Edinburgh', a young Russian tourist is murdered. As the police grapple with the fact that the cause of the young man's death was a massive loss of blood, the Watches are immediately aware that there is a renegade vampire on the loose. Anton - the hero of the Night Watch trilogy - is detailed to this seemingly mundane investigation, but begins to realise that there is much more to the story than a wildcat vampire and a single murder, and discovers that a team of unlicensed Others are hunting for a fabled magical treasure, hidden in the sixth level of the Twilight by Merlin himself...

In Russia, all volumes of the Night Watch series have sold over two million hardcovers between them. The Night Watch and The Day Watch have been adapted into internationally successful films, and The Twilight Watch is currently in production. Sergei Lukyanenko lives in Moscow.

As satisfying, violent and morally ambivalent as its predecessors. * Telegraph * ...the book maintains the high standards set by it precursors admirably, and we can't help but hope that it will not be the last in this exceptional series. * SciFi Now Magazine *
