The Others were the humans ( shamans, soothsayers, and wisemen) from long ago who figured out how to step into the Twilight. The action in the novel centers on a group of people referred to as the Others -human beings who tapped into the Twilight and gained supernormal abilities. In the story's worldline, there exists a magical realm beneath the surface of all things-referred to as the Twilight (or Gloom in other translations). The first story of the novel, Destiny, was made into a successful Russian film, Night Watch, which, although keeping the characters and many of the events of the original novel, alters some significant elements of the story. The novel is first in a cycle that continues with Day Watch, Twilight Watch (also known as Dusk Watch), Final Watch, New Watch, and Sixth Watch. The story revolves around a confrontation between two opposing supernatural groups (known as "Others"): the Night Watch, an organization dedicated to policing the actions of the Dark Others-and the Day Watch, which polices the actions of the Light Others. Lukyanenko wrote the story in 1998 and the book was first published in Russia by AST in 1998. Night Watch ( Russian: «Ночной Дозор») is the first fantasy novel by the Russian author Sergei Lukyanenko to feature his fictional world of the Others.
