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: the Light, or the Darkness.
At Moscow airport, Higher Light Magician Anton Gorodetsky overhears a child screaming about a plane that 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.
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.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
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 *
