“Metro 2033” by Dmitry Glukhovsky is a cult science-fiction novel and the most discussed Russian book in recent years. Print run: half a million copies; translations into dozens of languages, plus a grand computer game! This post-apocalyptic story has inspired an entire generation of contemporary writers, and now they together create the “Metro 2033 Universe,” a series of books based on the famous novel. The heroes of these new stories will finally step beyond the limits of the Moscow metro. Their adventures on the surface of Earth—nearly destroyed by a nuclear war—exceed all expectations. Now the struggle for the survival of mankind will be everywhere!
No rockets fell on this city, but a poisonous cloud that came from the south killed everyone who hadn’t managed to hide in shelters. Despite the horrors they survived, the people didn’t learn their lesson and with gusto continued their squabbling for a place in the sun. Getting carried away by the new war, they completely forgot that on the outskirts there live packs of corpse-scraping monsters.
Supplies of dead flesh are running out, and the tail-handed masters of the ruins now regard the two-legged neighbors with completely different eyes. A pack appears, led by a merciless leader. And the goals of this pack are to kill, devour, and reproduce.
