This is an excerpt from the newly released novel, New Watch, by Sergei Lukyanenko (translated by Andrew Bromfield and published by Harper Collins). It is the fourth and final book in the series, begun with the popular Night Watch, and which has been translated into 28 languages, with over 2 million copies in print.
