“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! Through the snow and frost, through the post-nuclear taiga and silent, empty cities. Across the snow and ice of Lake Baikal to where your own madness takes you. To Irkutsk. Walk along the edge, constantly balancing on the thin line of humanity. To cross it when you need to be a beast in order to defeat those who have long ceased to be human. Take over nature, enemies and yourself. To survive. To save those whose existence I am not sure of. To understand: is there something left in you from a person - or is the beast that woke up seventeen years ago - the undivided master of your consciousness.
