Final Watch. Background[edit] The entire pentalogy is devoted to the Others - humans able to draw on the magical force flowing through the world. They can enter into the Twilight, a shadowy dimension next to our own, from where they also draw power to perform their magic. The Twilight itself is divided into levels, with each level harder to access than the one above it.
While every Other may enter the first level, only the most powerful ones can get as far as the fifth, and the select few can get through to the sixth. The Others are divided into the Light Others and Dark Others. The Others live for centuries and can easily influence human minds, making people do their bidding. The Others' magical powers do not come from extra magic they have. The English title of the book is Last Watch and was released on 6 November 2008 in the UK and was scheduled to be released on November 25, 2008 in the U.S. Structure and style[edit] Last Watch has a very similar structure to Night Watch and Twilight Watch. Twilight Watch. Structure and style[edit] Lukyanenko returns to a structure closer to that he used in the Night Watch novel than the Day Watch novel. Twilight Watch is divided into three stories- Nobody's Time, Nobody's Space, and Nobody's Power. Each story begins with a prologue followed by seven numbered chapters and concluding with an Epilogue.
Except for the prologues, the events of each story are written in a first person narrative using the voice of the Light Magician character Anton Gorodetsky, a member of Night Watch. Events in each of the prologues are written in a third person narrative and take place entirely outside of Gordetsky's presence. The entire novel is written in the past tense.
Plot[edit] Among us live the Others. The book is separated into three novellas: Nobody's Time[edit] Nobody's Space[edit] Anton joins his wife Svetlana (who left the Night Watch), her mother, and their daughter (Nadya) on a vacation in a remote area. Nobody's Power[edit] Characters[edit] Light Others[edit] Day Watch (novel) The English translation by Andrew Bromfield was released in January 2007 both in the US and the UK.[1][2][3] (this story is told from the point of view of Alisa Donnikova) In the prologue, a woman named Natasha visits a witch and requests that she cast a spell to make the woman's estranged husband fall in love with her again. After Natasha strikes a deal with the witch, members of the Night Watch suddenly arrive and arrest the witch, to Natasha's great surprise and confusion.
(this story is told from the point of view of Vitaly Rogoza) A man named Vitaly Rogoza awakens while walking through a park late at night with no memory of his past and no knowledge of his identity. While this is taking place, a Day Watch splinter group named the "Regin Brothers" stages an attack on the Inquisition to steal a powerful artifact named "Fafnir's Talon".
The third story revolves around a trial by the Inquisition to investigate the events of the first two stories. The next day, the trial begins. Night Watch (Lukyanenko novel) Night Watch (Russian: Ночной дозор, Nochnoy Dozor) is a fantasy novel by Russian writer Sergei Lukyanenko published in 1998 (1st ed ISBN 5-237-01511-5). The story revolves around a confrontation between two opposing supernatural groups (known as "Others"): the Night Watch, an organization dedicated to policing the actions of the Dark Others—and the Day Watch, which polices the actions of the Light Others.
In the story's worldline there exists a magical realm beneath the surface of all things—referred to as the Twilight (or Gloom in other translations). The action in the novel centers on a group of people referred to as the Others—human beings who tapped into the Twilight and gained supernormal abilities. The Others were the humans (shamans, soothsayers, and wisemen) from long ago who figured out how to step into the Twilight.
However, the Others are different from humans, they are born as Others. Humans are not able (at least in the first part of the tetralogy) to become Others. Sergey Lukianenko. Official site.
