A SCIENCE FICTION THRILLER BY THE
AUTHOR OF NIGHT WATCH, THE HIT NOVEL
THAT INSPIRED TWO MAJOR MTION PICTURES


Five months after the horrific accident that left him near death and worried that he'd never fly again, master-pilot Alex Romanov lands a new job: captaining the sleek passenger vessel Mirror. Alex is a spesh--a human who has been genetically modified to perform particular tasks. As a captain and pilot, Alex has a genetic imperative to care for passengers and crew--no matter what the cost. His first mission aboard Mirror is to ferry two representatives of the alien race Zzygou on a tour of human worlds. His task will not be an easy one, for aboard the craft are several speshes who have reason to hate the Others. Dark pasts, deadly secrets, and a stolen gel-crystal worth more than Alex's entire ship combine to challenge him at every turn. And as the tension escalates, it becomes apparent that greater forces are at work to bring the captain's world crashing down.

PRAISE FOR SERGEI LUKYANENKO
"Night Watch is an epic of extraordinary power."
-QUENTIN TARANTINO


SERGEI LUKYANENKO was born in Kazakhstan, then a republic of the Soviet Union.  In 1985 he entered the Alma-Ata Medical University, where he began to write science fiction and publish his first books.  Though Lukyanenko completed his medical course, he realized that he would never be a doctor.  In 1997 he moved to Moscow, and since then has published prolifically.  Many of his works have become bestsellers and have won science fiction awards.  Night Watch and Day Watch were released as films in 2004 and 2006, respectively.  Lukyanenko's writing has been translated into more than twenty languages and continues to be hugely popular.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
