The second installment of the phenomenal Russian quartet The Night Watch vampire novels set in a richly realized post-Soviet Moscow. The second book in the internationally bestselling fantasy series, The Day Watch begins where The Night Watch left off, set in a modern-day Moscow where the 1,000-year-old treaty between Light and Dark maintains its uneasy balance through careful vigilance from the Others. The forces of darkness keep an eye during the day, the Day Watch, while the agents of Light monitor the nighttime. Very senior Others called the Inquisitors are the impartial judges insisting on the essential compact. When a very potent artifact is stolen from them, the consequences are dire and drastic for all sides. The Day Watch introduces the perspective of the Dark Ones, told in part by a young witch who bolsters her evil power by leeching fear from children's nightmares as a counselor at a girls' summer camp. When she falls in love with a handsome young Light One, the balance is threatened and a death must be avenged. The Day Watch is replete with the thrilling action and intricate plotting of the first tale, fuelled by cunning, cruelty, violence, and magic. It is a fast paced, darkly humorous, haunting world that will take root in the shadows of your mind and live there forever.

Great Follow Up
Day Watch is a great follow up to the first book in the series, Night Watch. SciFi/Fantasy has been trending towards looking at both sides of the story ever since Gregory Maguire gave us Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West. Sergei Lukyanenko shows us the thoughts, struggles, dreams and desires of the Day Watch. The "Others" in the day watch are the vampires, werewolves, witches and sorcerers who are "evil" and feed off of the misery of humans. This is only the surface, and, according to the Day Watchers, the misguided opinion of the "good guys." Sergei gives us an insight into what makes these Others tick and their unique world perspective that makes you question who really has the right philosophy!
