The Last Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko

 

Denne boken er helt spesiell. Den fjerde boka i serien av hans Watches, fantasifiksjon serie. Magi, vampyrer, fantasi, lys og mørke, evig kamp, mord, mening, fortolkingsfrihet og mystikk. Tolkien og Harry Potter stemning med politiske og metafysiske undertoner

” While on holiday in Scotland, visiting a macabre tourist attraction, “The Dungeons of Edinburgh,” a young Russian tourist is murdered. As the police grapple with the fact that the cause of the young man’s death was a massive loss of blood, the Watches are immediately aware that there is a renegade vampire on the loose. Anton – the hero of The Night Watch, The Day Watch, and The Twilight Watch – is detailed to this seemingly mundane investigation, but on arriving in Scotland begins to realize that there is much more to the story than a wildcat vampire and a single murder. Aided by Thomas, the head of Edinburgh’s Night Watch, Anton investigates and ruminates, and becomes aware that a team of unlicensed Others are hunting for a fabled magical treasure, hidden in the sixth level of the Twilight by Merlin himself. “
