“Metro 2033” by Dmitry Glukhovsky is a cult science fiction novel, the most discussed Russian book in recent years. Circulation - half a million, translations into dozens of languages, plus a grandiose computer game! This post-apocalyptic story inspired a galaxy of modern writers, and now they are together creating the Metro Universe 2033, a series of books based on the famous novel. The heroes of these new stories will finally go beyond the Moscow metro. Their adventures on the surface of the Earth, almost destroyed by nuclear war, exceed all expectations. Now the struggle for the survival of humanity will be waged everywhere! They did not start this war. They weren't ready for it. Not fighters who have service in “hot spots” or at least military service behind them. Not preppers. Not scientists or even working people.

Yesterday’s children, whose completely cloudless “yesterday” at one moment turned into a terrible “today” and a completely unpredictable “tomorrow”. And yet they did not give up, even when they found themselves in complete isolation. Only trouble never comes alone: the secret, which has been kept by the deputy head of the bunker Marina Alekseeva for twenty years, can at any moment turn a nightmare into reality...
