Read by Paul Michael
The Night Watch Series Book 1

Walking the streets of Moscow, indistinguishable from the rest of its
population, are The Others. The Others are magicians, possessors 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 the Light. The two factions, having long before
realised that open struggle can only create chaos and disaster, coexist
in an uneasy truce, each side aware of, and keeping a close eye on,
the other's activities around the city. Their aim is not mutual destruction,
but rather the maintenance of the precarious balance between good and
evil. Anton, a young Other, who owes allegiance to the Light, is a Night
Watch agent, newly seconded to patrol the streets and metro of the city,
to protect ordinary people from the vampires and magicians of the Dark.
On his rounds, Anton comes across a young woman, Svetlana, who he realises
is under a powerful curse that threatens the entire city, and a boy,
Egor, a young Other, as yet unaware of his own enormous power, whom
Anton narrowly saves from vampires. Anton is assigned a partner, Olga,
a powerful female Other who is trapped in the form of an owl in punishment
for a past error of judgement. Together with their colleagues in the
Night Watch, they struggle to remove Svetlana's curse and to protect
Egor from the vampires that pursue him. Set in a vividly realised post-Soviet
Russia, where vampires operate under license and Good and Evil exist
in a Cold War-like balance of power, "The Night Watch" is a page-turning
fantasy thriller, an international bestseller that represents the most
original writing in its genre since Anne Rice's "An Interview With a
Vampire"...
