Listen to the gripping post-apocalyptic trilogy that inspired video games, spin-offs spanning a variety of genres, and an international following.
In 2013, nuclear war tore the world apart. Now, 20 years later, humanity is nearly extinct, and cities have been left uninhabitable due to radiation. In Moscow, those who are left seek refuge in the underground train stations of the citywide Metro system, creating communities that gradually became independent states. Among these states, war breaks out as the factions fight over differing ideologies and the last remaining resources.
At the center of the action is Artyom, a young man living in VDNKh, the northernmost inhabited station on its line. Artyom is tasked with a mission that will determine the future of his station—and maybe the whole of humanity.
The Metro trilogy has attracted avid fans and become a cult best seller in multiple countries, including Italy, Poland, and the USA. In Russia alone, more than 500,000 copies of the debut novel, Metro 2033, have been sold. Now exclusively on Audible, you can listen to this inventive and thought-provoking post-apocalyptic series.
