- Vika, thanks.
- No problems, Lenia, - answered Windows-Home. I taught it this small

than it really is.
- Terminal.
The blue changed into the terminal's panel. I manually connected to the
sixth router, the last one to remain intact and canceled my access. Then I
canceled my temporary address in Austria.
The main threads are brokwalker. This bridge is just that: the thread above the
chasm. The towers of Al-Kabar are alluring and unreachable in the distance.
Abyss-abyss... I'm not yours...
I closed and opened back my eyes. The picture is before me: the chasm,
the thread, the buildings in the distance. Just funny... Looking where I
step, I started to shift my feet along the thread carefully.
It's just a picture. It's no gravity there, the drawn body can't have a
center of gravity. Just step here out of the city's
stench...
- Waiting for me, aren't we, Mr Nice Guy? - the question from behind
the back. I turn around - the huge wolf, up to my chest in height, emerges
from the bush.
- Maybe for you, - I answer admiring the wolf. Hell, he's awesome! He's
really gray, and not simply gray but of exact blackish/grayish wolfs' color.
The fur is felted here and there, a burdock is stuck to the right forepaw.
- Shouldn't I eat you, Mr Nice Guy? - asks the e room,
put on my shoes and open the door. The staircase is empty and brightly lit,
very-very clean. While I deal with the lock, the tiny bug tries to fly in
through the half opened door. Oh well, lamers are having their fun. With
irony I watch the persistent insect - the steady flow of air blows from the
apartment pushing the bug back out... Finally the door is closed, the bug
knocks against it in the last effort, a short flash - and it falls on the
floor.
- Should I.
This can go forever, but I have no time for games now... I get into the
car, the driver, a smiling guy with the perfect hairdo dressed in starched
shirt, turns to me. I prefer this type of drivers: well trained and brief
ones.
- Deep-Transit Company is glad to welcome you!
He doesn't say the name - the program stopped the taxi anonymously.
- How will you pay?
- Like this, - I say getting the revolver out of my pocket and hit the
guy on the temple reallur whistle wet a little?
- Yup.
I examine myself: is everything fine? My body in virtuality - the
simple drawing, translated to one or another point of Deeptown or its
suburbs by the computer, but the sword on the belt and little things in the
bag are not just simple pictures. These are shortcuts, program launchers
which I'll need soon.
- Here is the plan, - I decide. - I'll cross the bridge alone. Then
I'll bring out the trophies and we take to our hSergey Lukjanenko. Labyrinth of reflections

* Yuri Kalmykov. Translators notes *
About the Author:
Sergey Lukjanenko, 30, is one of the today's most popular Russian
Sci-Fi writers. His first works were published in 1988. Currently his
bibliography includes more than 40 titles of novels and short stories. The
Author defines his genre as the "hard action science fiction", but all his
works also have a very well defined philosophical aspect. The novel offered
to your attention was written in 1997 and became the real 'cult book' of the
Russian Internet.
Sergey is married, he lives in Moscow.
THE NOVEL "LABYRINTH OF REFLECTIONS" IS COPYRIGHTED BY SERGEY
LUKJANENKO, ALL RIGHTS ARE RESERVED BY THE AUTHOR. ANY COMMERCIAL USE OF THE
NOVEL'S TEXT IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
Several notes for the reader:
1). My English sucks. So it was obviously way too presumptuous of me to
try to make a translation like this. It was my love to this book only that
made me to venture into this adventure. ;-) I was hoping that this novel is
really worth your kind attention (despite my ugly
English?).
2). Some opinions expressed in this book by the main or other
characters, as well as some words/terms used, might be considered offensive
to some Western readers. In fact, one such situation was even showed closer
to the end of the novel itself. The concept of "PC" (aka 'Political
Correctness') does not really exist in Russia which fact IMHO makes the life
much easier and slightly reduces the amount of stupidity that inevitably
presents in this life. Despite that, I definitely had to use the 'softened'
terms in my translation in order not to outrage the people (not too much at
least). But of course, 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 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
