- Gunslinger, do you like [Stephe buy online en] King or what?
- Why?
- Well, your nick buy online k... or you just shoot well?
- You'll see.

space would be filled up with bones.
buy online The station building gets closer. I look at it t buy online trying to understand
what have changed since my la buy online ast time here. It seems to me that tower at the
right buy online t wing was missing before.
The section car passe buy online es the frozen train, new and clean one, with people

It' buy online 's impossible to drag away such a pile of iron in rea buy online ality, but hersuch generous gestures. - I promise buy online to come.
But if you'll excuse me now...
- hel buy online ll knows for how long didn't I get here out of buy online the city's

- Waiting for me, aren buy online n't we, Mr Nice Guy? - the question from behind
the buy online back. I turn around - the huge wolf, up to my chest buy online in height, emerges
from the bush.
- Maybe for buy online r you, - I answer admiring the wolf. Hell, he's awesom buy online me! He's
really gray, and not simply gray but of exac buy online ct blackish/grayish wolfs' color.
The fur is felted h buy online here and there, a burdock is stuck to the right forepa buy online aw.
- Shouldnhands and the air dims
between u buy online us, becoming dense. One moment - and the small tree buy online e appears, all
sown with the fruit. - I suppose that buy online t the most interesting thing among these

I look at th buy online he desired fruit. It's small, not ripe and wormy.
buy online - How do you think diver, how much could our compe buy online etitors pay for this

- Around ten grands buy online s, - I raise the price somehow.
Urman looks at m buy online me surprised, makes it more exact:
- e screen d buy online dimmed slightly, the image blurred. Then the hard buy online drive
started blinking indicating system restart. My buy online y machine is just Pentium, not
a 'serious' one but buy online I still can't make up my mind to substitute it with buy online a
newer computer. It's reliable enough.
- Goo buy online od evening Lenia, - said Vika, - I'm ready for work.

- Thanks. Connect to Deeptown... use the regular buy online r channel.
Modem chirped dialing, I put the helm buy online met on and sat down.
- 28800 connection, the cha buy online annel is stab program doesn't hear you, - informs the buy online e driver, - Stay

buy online I never heard about virtual abductions before.
buy online - Who are you?
The Beard just smiles.
Of buy online f course there is a way out: unavailable to the o buy online ordinary Deeptown

The question is buy online though: isn't it exactly what they expect from me buy online e?
Revealing myself as the diver, and to break the co buy online onnection while I'm in the

I'm silent.

Neither Irish nor Petersbu buy online urg nor French beer failed.
In the depth of my buy online soul I was glad that I had opened to somebody. My

Here w buy online we go.
I opened fire, shooting with the left m buy online mouse button and reloading the

- It's such a pity tha buy online at less and less time remains for our talk, - I

- Yes, it's never enough time. Well, Mr Di buy online iver, I have the reasons to

- The apples, - I add.

- Exactly. We have a good Russian programmer wte buy online e plates. Some of them are obvious,

The buy online e secretary nods.

She buy online e stands up without a hurry and enters one of the inne buy online er doors. I wait

bibliography includes more than buy online 40 titles of novels and short stories. The
Author buy online defines his genre as the "hard action science ficti buy online ion", but all his
works also have a very well defined buy online d philosophical aspect. The novel offered
to your at buy online ttention was written in 1997 and became the real 'cult buy online t book' of the
Russian Internet.
Sergey is marr buy online ried, he lives in Moscow.
THE NOVEL buy online "LABYRINTH OF REFLECTIONS" IS COPYRIGHTED BY buy online SERGEY
LUKJANENKO, ALL RIGHTS ARE RESERVED BY THE AU buy online UTHOR. ANY COMMERCIAL USE OF THE
NOVEL'S TEXT IS STRI buy online ICTLY PROHIBITED.
Several notes for the reader:
buy online
1). My English sucks. So it was obviously wa buy online ay too presumptuous of me to
try to make a translatio buy online on like this. It was my love to this book only that buy online
made me to venture into this adventure. ;-) I was ho buy online oping that this novel is
really worth your kind atte buy online ention (despite my ugly
English?).
2). Some o buy online opinions expressed in this book by the main or buy online r other
characters, as well as some words/terms used buy online d, might be considered offensive
to some Western rea buy online aders. In fact, one such situation was even showed cl buy online loser
to the end of the novel itself. The conc buy online cept of "PC" (aka 'Political
Correctness') does not buy online t really exist in Russia which fact IMHO makes the lif buy online fe
much easier and slightly reduces the amount of s buy online stupidity that inevitably
presents in this life. De buy online espite that, I definitely had to use the 'softened'
buy online
terms in my translation in order not to outrage the buy online people (not too much at
least). But of course, s buy online something might have still leaked out. Please
consider yourselves warned.
3). FIDO
Some more confusion can be caused by Lukjanenko's technical details and
descriptions of the Net due to one more fact: he writes from the point of
view of the person who was once the FIDOnet member. Also it seems that
Sergey himself was mostly affiliated with FIDO at the time of this book's
writing. The principles of FIDO's system organization differ from the ones
of the Internet. I never was FIDO member, so I know very little. In general,
it's free, amateurs' network that allows its members to exchange emails and
files. FIDO uses its own proprietary protocol. Special gateways are used to
exchange emails with the Internet. Look at www.fidonet.org for more
details... But be prepared to get back not the homepage, but some HTML code.
{G} The guys have forgot to put the {HTML} tag into the code of their main
page... OOPS.
4). The names.
The same name in Russian usually can have several forms, reflecting the
attitude of the one who pronounces the name to the one named. The number of
these forms is as far as I can judge, much bigger than in English. That's
why in my translation I preferred to retain the original rules of forming
such names and to provide this note. Another important reason is that the
Russian name changed according to the rules of doing so in English would
sound ridiculous (maybe for me only, as I'm Russian... ;-) ), not mentioning
that it's not always possible to do this with Russian names at all. Example:
John - Johnny. Now try to do the same with, say, my name: Yuri. Yup... My
point exactly. Below is the example of Buy viagra online how the first name of the main
character can be 'bent'. The same often happens to other names in the book.
For inexperienced reader it might be confusing, so I apologize... Russia
*is* confusing by definition, so bear with it. :-)
Leonid - the complete name.
Lenia (should be read roughly as Lyo-nee-aa; don't pronounce 'double
lettered' sounds as too long ones though) - this is slightly diminutive,
friendly form used by relatives and friends.
Lenechka (Lyo-nee-chka) - a "pet-name" form, sometimes also used with
sarcasm, depending on the context.
Lenchik - "pet-name"/unceremonious address.
Len'ka ( here ' means softening of the previous sound, 'n' in this name
sounds like 'n' in the word 'change') - Unceremonious address, a bit
slighting. Often used by close friends without any offensive context.
... and so on. No more forms are used in the book, so I'd better not
confuse you any more.
Another trick is how the names are formed n general. In particular, the
concept of the middle name in Russia. It is not 'given', but rather is the
father's name. To be used as a middle name, special endings are attached:
-ovich, -evich for man's middle name (yeah, they are gender specific!),
-ovna, evna for female's middle name.
Examples: Petrovich Alekseevich - men's
