A new book from the “Night Watch” series. The novel’s action takes place in 1972 in Siberia. The Watch divisions wage a harsh struggle in major cities; the main difficulty even for experienced Others is that the battle arenas are separated by kilometers of endless taiga. And who knows where the age-old cedars and snows conceal Evil that the human mind cannot comprehend?

Yes—back in Moscow and Leningrad, 1972 represented a fully mature Soviet communist reality, in which people devoted to faith and militant atheists were far more numerous than those who followed religious cults. In Siberia, however, ancient powers are negotiated with by shamans—these are the third force both Dark and Light have to reckon with. Siberia is hardly the best place to establish a Night Watch office, but in this situation there’s no choice. Besides, a village district police officer is tasked with unraveling a very strange case…

Critics say this book contains much less of Lukyanenko than usual, while Alex de Clemèshe, editor of the magazine “Silver Arrow,” shows his talent as a writer in full. The “Watch” series has clearly benefited from him; one hopes that “The District Officer” will not disappoint readers.
