Walking the streets of Moscow, indistinguishable from the rest of its population, are The Other. Possessors of supernatural powers and capable of entering the Twilight, a shadowy world that exists in parallel to our own, each owes allegiance either to The Dark - the Day Watch - or The Light - the Night Watch. In The Day Watch, second book of the Night Watch trilogy, Alice, a young but powerful Dark Other, leaves her house to attend a meeting with her comrades in the Day Watch. The team is on a mission to apprehend an uninitiated Other, a practicing Dark witch who has so far eluded the bureaux responsible for finding and initiating unlicensed practitioners of magic. It seems a routine operation. But when they arrive, the Night Watch team has already made the arrest. A fierce battle ensues, during which Alice almost dies. Drained of her powers, she is sent to recuperate at a youth camp near the Black Sea. There she meets Igor; the chemistry between them is instant and irresistible, as Alice finds herself falling in love. But then comes the shattering realisation: Igor is a Light Mage. Suddenly Alice remembers him as one of those involved in the battle that left her crippled.Had they known each other for what they were, the idea that there might be anything between them would have seemed impossible. But now that they know, there is no alternative to a magical duel, a battle that neither of them wants to win.

Great Follow Up
Day Watch is a great follow up to the first book in the series, Night Watch. SciFi/Fantasy has been trending towards looking at both sides of the story ever since Gregory Maguire gave us Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West. Sergei Lukyanenko shows us the thoughts, struggles, dreams and desires of the Day Watch. The "Others" in the day watch are the vampires, werewolves, witches and sorcerers who are "evil" and feed off of the misery of humans. This is only the surface, and, according to the Day Watchers, the misguided opinion of the "good guys." Sergei gives us an insight into what makes these Others tick and their unique world perspective that makes you question who really has the right philosophy!
