Now including a new translation, this is a chilling piece of Russian dystopian fiction and the basis of three bestselling computer games Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light, and Metro: ExodusThe year is 2033. The world has been reduced to rubble. Humanity is nearly extinct. 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, the stuff of myth and legend. More than 20 years have passed since the last plane took off from the earth. Rusted 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 incursion. 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. It was one of the Metro's best stations 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 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.

Het is 2034. De wereld ligt in puin: een kernoorlog heeft alle grote steden van de aardbodem weggevaagd, de ru nes en het omringende land overgeleverd aan straling en gemuteerde monsters. Wat sinds de Dag des Oordeels van de mensheid over is, slijt zijn dagen in bunkers en schuilkelders. De grootste daarvan is de Moskouse metro. De stations zijn veranderd in stadsstaatjes; in de tunnels heersen duisternis en angst. Station Sebastopol weet als een klein, ondergronds Sparta alleen te overleven ten koste van zware offers. Maar op een dag raken de bewoners afgesneden van de rest van het metrostelsel en zien ze zich geconfronteerd met een levensgrote dreiging. Alleen een ware held kan hen nog redden.
