- But what did you expect? The female sexual tonic file exchange and discussions of

- The apples, - I add.
female sexual tonic - Exactly. We have a good Russian programmerhoping tha female sexual tonic at this novel is

2). Some opinions expressed female sexual tonic d in this book by the main or other
characters, as female sexual tonic s well as some words/terms used, might be considered offen female sexual tonic nsive
to some Western readers. In fact, one such situatio female sexual tonic women's intimacy enhancer cream on was even showed closer
to the end of the novel its female sexual tonic self. The concept of "PC" (aka 'Political
Correctness' female sexual tonic ') does not really exist in Russia which fact IMHO makes th female sexual tonic he life
much easier and sldeep is 48 hours, the time dur female sexual tonic women's intimacy enhancer ring which
the human won't die of starvation and water l female sexual tonic loss. Reasonable users always
set their timers for less t female sexual tonic though: a couple of hours, a day... Maniac 36 beauty who set
his tim female sexual tonic mer for 36 hours was already an exception. The waking of so female sexual tonic omebody who
have spent two days in the deep is.... a foul female sexual tonic l smelling sight.
Of course it is possible to break a female sexual tonic and disable the timer. Or to break it
and add a couple of female sexual tonic zeros to the number '48' but such kamikaze are rarely

- Thanks, - I said.
- Bu female sexual tonic ut you know... Just one question.
Sure, any hacker a female sexual tonic always has just one question. They think that it's
poss female sexual tonic sible to ask something after which all divers' mysteries be female sexual tonic ecome clear.
- Well?
-What does the diver do wh female sexual tonic hen he decides to exit virtuality, just thinks
like 'I wan female sexual tonic nt to return to reality' or what?
- I heard that one female sexual tonic e diver... - I looked aside, - Mutters the stupid
rhym female sexual tonic me.
- Which one?
- Abyss-abysnicate with his b female sexual tonic boss doesn't exist, and
the boss himself was not seen o female sexual tonic or heard about by anybody. After that
Invisible Boss female sexual tonic s used to send the letter to all his point saying, "Why do female sexual tonic o you
pursue me?" and disappear.
- Undoubtedly rich female sexual tonic the folklore was, - I agree. - I also remember about
the female sexual tonic crazy moderator, and the echo-conference called 'Die here! female sexual tonic !'
- I started with Fidonet as well, - says Man Witho female sexual tonic out Face.
I stay silent.
- Mr Diver, unlike Urm female sexual tonic man I'm not tryingBaltic type. His face looks roguish and female sexual tonic I prick up my
ears. The guy glances at the small booth in female sexual tonic n the corner of the stage askance.
- Gentlemen! - female sexual tonic he shouts. Hm, he's really Baltic unless it was my
sub female sexual tonic bconsciousness that made me hear the accent. - 'Lithocom female sexual tonic mp' company is
honored to offer you the lowest prices fo female sexual tonic or the following...
A-haaa... no questions.
I female sexual tonic look at the booth too: the moderator's hiding place. Ever female sexual tonic ry club has
the person who watches the talks to correnk: female sexual tonic the steep covered with low thorny bushes.
The wind is female sexual tonic strong and I narrow my eyes. The sky is covered by dark female sexual tonic k gray
clouds. The river is not exactly mountain one but female sexual tonic with rapids and very fast.
The flock of some birds can be female sexual tonic e seen in a distance, I don't know what exactly
are they: female sexual tonic : they never fly closer. The table stands by the steep, th female sexual tonic here are
bottles of Gin, Tonic and Absolut-Pepper on it female sexual tonic t. Also, a big nickel plated
thermos full of mulled win female sexual tonic ne: a tasty one, with cinnamon, v dogmas. Nanotechnology female sexual tonic used to imitate a
drink is worse than a microscope used a female sexual tonic as a hammer...
- You're Alexandrian, - I make a guess female sexual tonic s.
- Yes! - she replies with a slight challenge in he female sexual tonic er voice.
Alexandrians are the followers of one Peter female sexual tonic rsburg sci-fi writer. They
either proclaim the merge of female sexual tonic f the human with a computer or expect some sort
of fanta female sexual tonic astic blessings from virtuality, I'm not sure.
- What female sexual tonic t are you doing in this senseless place then? - I ask.
female sexual tonic - I'm loya, the 'Money' magazine, a reporter.
Win female sexual tonic ndows-Home is silent, it means that the card is 'clean' - i female sexual tonic it's really just
a card, without any hidden surprises. I p female sexual tonic put it in my pocket and nod:
- Thanks.
Sorry, female sexual tonic it'll be no return courtesy, but it doesn't look like female sexual tonic Nadya
expects it.

About the Author:
Sergey Lukjanenko, 30, female sexual tonic , is one of the today's most popular Russian
Sci-Fi wr female sexual tonic riters. His first works were published in 1988. Curr female sexual tonic rently his
bibliography includes more than 40 titles of no female sexual tonic ovels and short stories. The
Author defines his genre as female sexual tonic s the "hard action science fiction", but all his
works a female sexual tonic also have a very well defined philosophical aspect. The nov female sexual tonic vel offered
to your attention was written in 1997 and bec female sexual tonic came the real 'cult book' of the
Russian Internet.
S female sexual tonic Sergey is married, he lives in Moscow.
THE female sexual tonic E NOVEL "LABYRINTH OF REFLECTIONS" IS COPYRIGHTED B female sexual tonic 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
