“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 2033 Universe, 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 on an Earth almost destroyed by nuclear war exceed all expectations. Now the struggle for the survival of humanity will be waged everywhere! A group of scientists studying the nature of geological disasters does not yet suspect that they will face a catastrophe more monstrous and destructive than volcanoes. Moreover, it is a man-made catastrophe – nuclear war. Years after these events, three volcanologists are forced to survive in a paradise lost among the terrible new world created by humanity's last war. Living conditions here, on the edge of the earth, are very favorable. But people have a hard time letting go of past grievances, so foreign researchers have to hide their origins. The community of survivors of Kamchatka is unlikely to spare the Italian, much less the American, as well as the compatriot who covered for them, when the truth ceases to be a secret. But none of them suspects that another, merciless enemy is ready to plunge his claws into the throat of each of the survivors, regardless of the nationality of the victim. And no one knows what amazing Kamchatka hides within itself and how nature itself yearns to acquaint people with its power.
