The Day Watch - Sergei Lukyanenko

...Ciao not taking reviews for the Night Watch (which is the first book in the series of the same name, with Day Watch being the second) this is a review of the first two novels. If you just want to read a review The Day Watch, please skip to the second half. ==THE NIGHT WATCH== The Night Watch is a science fiction novel written by Russian author Sergei Lukyanenko, and is the first book in the Night Watch trilogy.
