penis growth oil I'm in the car again. The driver looks back penis growth oil at me cautiously. I spin
the revolver in my ha penis growth oil penis growth pills and thoughtfully: it's loaded again, and the poc penis growth oil cket is
weighed down by a grenade.
- The p penis growth oil parcel was received? - asks the driver.
Now penis growth oil w it's my turn to play the game of silence.
penis growth oil - I wonder how?
- You know my friend, if penis growth oil I run out of ammo, it's the definite order to

Invisib penis growth oil ble Boss used to send the letter to all his poin penis growth oil nt saying, "Why do you

I undressed quickly, threw the penis growth oil clothes on the bed and came to the

No penis growth oil sleeping tonight, the deep is waiting.

- I don't think it'll happen.

- Deep-Transit is glad to w penis growth oil welcome you Lenia.
I get inside and nod:
penis growth oil - To the 'Three Piglets' restaurant.
T penis growth oil This address is well known to the driver. We m penis growth oil move fast, a couple of
turns and we're before penis growth oil e the odd building: partially stone one, parti penis growth oil ially
wooden, partially built of straw mats.
I penis growth oil I enter the too familiar restaurant and look arou penis growth oil und. It is divided into three parts - Eastern

Microsoft's penis growth oil Windows-Home to Russian 'Virt-Navigator' and ' penis growth oil 'Deep-Commander'.

set their timers f penis growth oil for less though: a couple of hours, a day... Mani penis growth oil iac who set

* Y penis growth oil Yuri Kalmykov. Translators notes *
About th penis growth oil he Author:
Sergey Lukjanenko, 30, is o penis growth oil one of the today's most popular Russian
Sci-F penis growth oil Fi writers. His first works were published i penis growth oil in 1988. Currently his
bibliography includes m penis growth oil more than 40 titles of novels and short stories. penis growth oil . The
Author defines his genre as the "hard ac penis growth oil ction science fiction", but all his
works also penis growth oil have a very well defined philosophical aspect. T penis growth oil The novel offered
to your attention was written penis growth oil n 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 penis growth oil 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 penisole 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
