“The Intern” is a novel by Dmitry Grishanin, the second book in the eponymous cycle. Genre: RealRPG, urban fantasy. They are here. They’re close. Sometimes at arm’s length. They watch us. They’re always on standby. Their hunger can’t be satisfied. And only the fragile barrier of Equilibrium between almost-merged parallel worlds holds back hordes of otherworldly creatures. Alas, sometimes breaches happen, and then the last obstacle between people and monsters becomes the squads of psychics. A first-year student, Sergey Kapustin, who was accepted into one of these squads by the intern, ends up trapped by a cunning chaosist who has been tasked to push him toward Chaos. By a miracle, Sergey manages to escape captivity, but what he takes for salvation turns out to be only the first step on the long, thorny path of trials laid out for him. And only God knows whether the young intern has the strength of will and the strength of spirit to survive among monsters, remain himself, and stay a decent person.
