Last Watch

Watch, Book 4

De: Sergei Lukyanenko

Narrado por: Paul Michael

The fourth novel in the blockbuster series from one of Russia's most popular authors, Last Watch returns us to the hyperimaginative world of Sergei Lukyanenko, where the endless battle between good and evil is about to reach its climax.

Anton Gorodetsky is just getting a feel for his new powers, when his boss, Gesar, sends him to assist the Scottish Night Watch in Edinburgh in a murder investigation. A young Russian man has been murdered - apparently by a vampire. But the mystery is more than it seems, and soon Anton is himself in danger. The murderer appears to be someone with intimate knowledge of the Night Watch. Before long, Anton realizes that a plot is being hatched by the forces of both darkness and light that - unless he can intervene - may mean nothing less than Armageddon.

The watch books just keep getting better

The "Watch" verse, where those who champion the forces of light "The Night Watch" and the darkness "The Day Watch" and the balance "The Inquisition" are as always, drawn into conflict in an eternal struggle for power that results, as always in balance of a kind. And perhaps in this case forgiveness?

And Merlin. Who is very cool.

A beautiful tight series of the three interconnected stories where the Dark Ones and the Light Ones once again prove that most the differences between them are semantics. The real barriers are the ones between the Others and the rest of us.

I highly recommend the whole series, but this book in particular is top notch.

Every book gets better and better

The story never gets dry, the twists are wonderful, and the narrator remains consistent with all the different voices of the characters. Can't wait to finish the series, but I'm sad to at the same time.

Fantastic, again

Man, I love these books. Everything is constantly building in this universe, bringing back old characters and growing new ones. It's just too good and I'm not sure why you're wasting time reading this when you could be listening to this book.

the continued battle or light and dark

Continued from the first three novels, Last Watch brings together our light side, dark side and inquisition. Ramification from twilight watch come around full force in 3 stories that appear separate instances that merge together in one commonality.

As the others well written, well narrated, this Russian novel, draws you into a world where good and evil fight each other, keep each other in check and try to maintain the balance, where the rest of the world moves about its daily life no wiser to the constant battle being fought among them.

I keep hoping one day there will be a fifth book. Mean while if you have read these, the audio book is an amazing addition to your collection and will only bring the books more alive to you, if you haven't read them I will venture to say when you listen to them you will probably also want a hard copy to go back too.

Deep in the Twilight, Merlin's last riddle waits.

The forces of Light(The Night Watch) and the forces of Darkness(the Day Watch) have a truce, held to equilibrium by the Inquisition, despite a lot of sneaky underhanded plots to try and gain an upper hand. Now a shadowy group calling themselves 'The Last Watch' are breaking all the rules, seeking a hidden relic that might give them the power to end the world, or raise the dead.

There are three earlier books in this series, and I recommend reading them in order. Even so, there are parts where I find it very difficult to make sense of what is happening. The overall story is comprehensible, and I find the slippery parts a fair trade for the overall 'exotic' feel of something by an author whose background and culture is different than my own.

What I like best about this series is that the forces of Light are not really the good guys, though they think they are, and the while the Dark Others might just happen to be werewolves or vampires, it doesn't automatically make them evil. And the enemy you know is better by far than the one you don't.
