The year is 2033. The world has been reduced to rubble. Humanity is nearly extinct and the half-destroyed cities have become uninhabitable through radiation. Beyond 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.

Man has handed over stewardship of the Earth to new life-forms. Mutated by radiation, they are better adapted to the new world. A few score thousand survivors live on, not knowing whether they are the only ones left on Earth, living in the Moscow Metro - the biggest air-raid shelter ever built. Stations have become mini-statelets, their people uniting around ideas, religions, water-filters, or the need to repulse enemy incursion.

VDNKh is the northernmost inhabited station on its line, one of the Metro's best stations and secure. But 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 alert everyone to the danger and to get help. He holds the future of his station in his hands, the whole Metro - and maybe the whole of humanity.

About the Creator

Dmitry Glukhovsky, born in Moscow in 1979, graduated from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, in journalism and international relations. He worked as a TV journalist in France and Russia, and reported for German and Israeli Public National Radio. Glukhovsky is fluent in English, French, German, Hebrew, Russian, and Spanish. Because of his outspoken position on the Putin administration in general and the war against Ukraine in particular, he was sentenced to eight years of prison. The writer lives in exile. The idea to create the internationally acclaimed science-fiction series Metro goes back to his youth: He started it at the age of 16, spending hours in the underground on his way to school. Glukhovsky´s first theater play, The White Factory, is a major success in London. He also engages in the TV, film, and gaming industries as a script writer.

This book took me a while to read because it is a very heavy book. Be narrator did an amazing job pronouncing everything. Usually a listen to her book sped up with us and I had to listen to a bit slower just because I'm not familiar with the oxen or names. Most blokes tend to have one philosophy that they really talk about while in this book it felt almost as if every single chapter had a new philosophy. It was amazing and gave me a lot to think about but there were times where I had to just put the book down to process everything that was trying to be discussed. This is a book that I would say have a physical copy to a reference to and take your time with it.

Good book but heavy

The performance from the reader is great. All the voices give a mystical visual experience of the book and often found myself day dreaming of the experience. I came here from the game and don't regret it all. A couple of the chapters are a little absurd and drag but averaged out was worth it. The book ends abruptly and the final act is IMO to quick but I am immediately moving on to the other books. If you like the games, if you want to experience a post apocalyptic world this is worth the time.

A great, sad and depressive story.
