Synopsis

Now including a new translation, this is a chilling piece of Russian dystopian fiction by Dmitry Glukhovsky and the basis of the bestselling computer games Metro 2033, Metro: Last Light, Metro: Exodus, and the highly-anticipated Metro 2039

A WORLD IN DARKNESS. A SINGLE HOPE.

The year is 2033. The world has been reduced to rubble. Humanity is nearly extinct. A few thousand live on, not knowing if they are the only survivors on the planet. They live in the Moscow Metro - the biggest air-raid shelter ever built. It is humanity's last refuge. It 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 and still remains secure. But 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 alert everyone to the awful danger. He holds the future of his native station in his hands, the future of the Metro - and maybe the whole of humanity.
