The second installment of the phenomenal Russian quartet The Night Watch vampire novels set in a richly realized post-Soviet Moscow. The second book in the internationally bestselling fantasy series, The Day Watch begins where The Night Watch left off, set in a modern-day Moscow where the 1,000-year-old treaty between Light and Dark maintains its uneasy balance through careful vigilance from the Others. The forces of darkness keep an eye during the day, the Day Watch, while the agents of Light monitor the nighttime. Very senior Others called the Inquisitors are the impartial judges insisting on the essential compact. When a very potent artifact is stolen from them, the consequences are dire and drastic for all sides. The Day Watch introduces the perspective of the Dark Ones, told in part by a young witch who bolsters her evil power by leeching fear from children’s nightmares as a counselor at a girls’ summer camp. When she falls in love with a handsome young Light One, the balance is threatened and a death must be avenged. The Day Watch is replete with the thrilling action and intricate plotting of the first tale, fuelled by cunning, cruelty, violence, and magic. It is a fast paced, darkly humorous, haunting world that will take root in the shadows of your mind and live there forever.From the Trade Paperback edition.

HIT DIFFERENT With a light and simple movement of his fist alone, Vladimir Vasiliev is able to apply stealthy and shocking power of greater depth and freedom than professional heavyweight boxers can achieve with their entire focused mass, strength, torque, and momentum. Vladimir's spontaneous and intelligent strikes work against any target, from any position, for immediate resolution of armed or unarmed confrontations, for energizing a partner, and even for healing. These strikes are the culmination of precise movement, impeccable timing, exact contact calibration and extraordinary emotional clarity. This is the meaning of "Hit Different." In STRIKES: Soul Meets Body, chief Systema instructor Vladimir Vasiliev reveals the physical and psychological training regimen that underlies this unprecedented martial arts capability, rooted in centuries of Russian combative and spiritual tradition. From the depth of the soul to the edge of the knuckles, experience the truth and the power. STRIKES Soul Meets Body in Japanese language translation has regularly topped the Martial Arts &amp; Self Defense category on Amazon Japan as a Number One Bestseller since its introduction in February 2016.

 Review 
The original version is in my top 10 favorite books on martial arts so I had to get the expanded, enhanced version. The knowledge and wisdom shared in this book definitely gives you a great understanding of The System. Even if you don t practice this art in particular, the information presented here is priceless and a great add on to whatever art you enjoy. Thanks Mr. Vladimir Vasiliev for the reissue. I m ordering it now. Peace --Borngod Allah\nA small book with very, very large concepts. As with everything having to do with Systema, large concepts appear as small things… but in reality, the smallest things in Systema are large, in truth. Bravo. Thank you for this book! --Robert Burke\nI recently purchased the anniversary edition of the Russian System Guidebook and just wanted to say thank you for the material and sharing it with me. Your training, especially the internal work is changing my life. --Greg Schulte
