A chilling piece of Russian dystopian fiction and the basis of three bestselling computer games Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light, and Metro: Exodus
The year is 2033. The world has been reduced to rubble. Humanity is nearly extinct. The half-destroyed cities have become uninhabitable through radiationBeyond their boundaries, they say, lie endless burned-out deserts and the remains of splintered forests. Survivors still remember the past greatness of humankind. But the last remains of civilisation have already become a distant memory, the stuff of myth and legend.
More than 20 years have passed since the last plane took off from the earthRusted railways lead into emptiness. The ether is void and the airwaves echo to a soulless howling where previously the frequencies were full of news from Tokyo, New York, Buenos Aires. Man has handed over stewardship of the earth to new life-forms. Mutated by radiation, they are better adapted to the new world.
Man''s time is over.
A few score thousand survivors live on, not knowing whether they are the only ones left on earth. They live in the Moscow Metro - the biggest air-raid shelter ever built. It is humanity''s last refuge. Stations have become mini-statelets, their people uniting around ideas, religions, water-filters - or the simple need to repulse an enemy incursionIt is a world without a tomorrow, with no room for dreams, plans, hopes. Feelings have given way to instinct - the most important of which is survival. Survival at any price.
VDNKh is the northernmost inhabited station on its line. It was one of the Metro''s best stations and still remains secureBut now a new and terrible threat has appeared. Artyom, a young man living in VDNKh, is given the task of penetrating to the heart of the Metro, to the legendary Polis, to alert everyone to the awful danger and to get help. He holds the future of his native station in his hands, the whole Metro - and maybe the whole of humanity.
Readers are hooked on Metro 2033:
''The Russians have a skill in writing apocalyptic, nightmarish stories . . Claustrophobic, dark cul-de-sacs of danger and terror, Metro 2033 is a world of uncertainties and fear . . . I never realised that you can read a book through your fingers as you wait for the horrors to leap out from the ruins and the dark'' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
''Frankly it is the best post-apocalyptic sci-fi I have ever read . . the story operates on a number of different levels, is tightly plotted, very descriptive and real . . . The ending is a twist and a shocker that left me feeling empty and hollow for a few days afterwards'' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
''Those Russians know how to write dystopian, post-apocalyptic, creepy horror . . Life in the metro is brutal, raw, dirty, dangerous, but also deeply human . . . a fantastic, immersive read'' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
''The creatures, the world, the Metro, the people are all very well though out and built . . The ending hit me out of nowhere, completely unexpected on my part. Just. What a twist'' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
