“Metro 2033” by Dmitry Glukhovsky is a cult science-fiction novel—the most discussed Russian book of recent years. Print run: half a million. Translations into dozens of languages, plus a grand computer game! This post-apocalyptic story has inspired a whole galaxy of modern writers, and now they create together the “Metro 2033 Universe,” a series of books based on the famous novel. In these new stories, the heroes finally get to go beyond the Moscow metro. Their adventures on the surface of the Earth—nearly destroyed by a nuclear war—exceed all expectations. Now the struggle for the survival of mankind will be waged everywhere!
A chain of disasters that burst into a paradise corner at the edge of the earth refuses to let the handful of survivors—who have been trying for years not to lose their humanity—rest.
The echo of a long-gone war and its grim shadow envelop the minds of people who are ready to clash in an unforgiving fight and finish what the weapons of mass destruction failed to complete many years ago. And the calm-seeming element of Kamchatka is preparing for its most impressive demonstration of power—before which everything pales… Everything except reason and humanism.
