The only survivors of the last war were those who made it into the gates of the Metro, the subway system of Moscow city. It’s there, hundreds of feet below the ground, in the vaults of what was constructed as the world’s largest air-raids shelter that people try to outlive the end of the days. It’s there that they created a new world for themselves.
The stations of Metro became city-states, and its citizens, torn apart by religions and ideologies are fighting for the now scarce commodities: air, water, and space. This tiny underground world can only remind humans of an immense world they once were the masters of.
It’s been twenty years past Doomsday, and yet the survivors refuse to give up. The most stubborn of them keep cherishing a dream: when the radiation level from nuclear bombings subsides, they will be able to return to the surface and have the life their parents once had.
But the most stubborn of the stubborn continues to search for other survivors in this huge emptiness that once was called Earth. His name is Artyom. He would give anything to lead his own people from the underground onto the surface.
And he will.
* * *
METRO 2035 continues and terminates the story of Artyom, the hero of the original Metro 2033 book and the Metro video games. Millions of readers across the world have been waiting for this novel for the long ten years. For those who have been following Artyom’s adventures from the very beginning, Metro 2035 will deliver the concluding powerful part of the saga, with the ultimate part of the puzzle that can’t be found anywhere else. For the new readers, Metro 2035 will become an excellent introduction into this unique fiction universe that has millions of fans across the world.
* * *
Dmitry Glukhovsky’s METRO novels have already sold millions of copies in 37 languages. They have also become a basis of cult video games ‘Metro 2033’ and ‘Metro Last Light’, and the film rights were optioned by a Hollywood studio.
* * *
Behind the tense plot and the dark ambience of Metro 2035, there’s yet another level: that of social dystopia and political satire. Metro metaphorically paints a pitiless picture of today’s Russia, that is being overcast again by the dark shadows of its gruesome past. Do Russians need freedom? Do they want a war? Can they survive without an enemy? Who’s to blame and can anything be done about it? Eternal questions. Fresh answers.

The strength of this book comes from Glukhovsky being a master at suspense, Artyom is thrust into many situations that don't seem survivable. Arytom himself is a pillar of strength in the Metro series, and the lack of him I believe is the reason 2034 is the weakest of the series. Arytom is a heavily flawed character, who has no political alliances but is driven by his sense of morality, who tries to do what he sees at the right thing and learn from mistakes like us all. Because of this, I see Artyom as one of the best written protagonists in modern literature, he is smart, naive, acts on impulse, and is controlled by his emotions even though he tries to be logical.
Glukovsky also shows he is a master at crafting an ending, where while you know the protagonist is going to accomplish what he set out to do, it will never turn out exactly how you wanted. A touch of reality in a fantastically crafted world.
Now for the cons, for some reason the English translation of this book is a mess, I don't understand why, as the same person who translated 2033 translated 2035. I don't know if he got lazy, or had a lack of focus, or what, but it is impossible to not notice all the grammatical errors and random capitalized letters throughout.
Next, I believe the lack of the mutants and paranormal made 2035 lose something special 2033 had. In 2033 the mutants, while not everywhere, were a looming threat, the stalking apes of Moscow, the Librarians, the Demons, the unknown Dark Ones, they made the surface an almost alien world. In 2035, there are only a couple of mutants noticed by Artyom and none are really seen as a threat at any point, I believe the world lost a touch of its identity due to the lack of these creatures.
Despite these flaws though, I recommend anyone who is a fan of science fiction or the post apocalyptic setting to read these books. And if you have played the games they are more than worth a read as well as you get more depth and intrigue from the novels then the games which are great in their own right. This series has cemented itself as one of my favorite of all time and may have made Glukhovsky my favorite author.
Artyom has been through hell and back, meeting lots of interesting and unique characters along the way. The events of Metro 2033 regarding the Dark Ones still haunt him. His journey has taken a toll on him, and his family. After all that he has throughout the series, he finds himself in need of hope. That hope comes in the form of his search for other survivors of the nuclear war that destroyed the surface of the planet. He is determined to find signs of survivors in other cities, so much so that he ventures to the surface and climbs to the roof of a building to listen for radio signals, despite the dangers of beasts and radiation. His search put a strain on his relationship with Anya, however, resulting in his neglecting her and the two of them drifting apart. He is met by a stranger early on who wants to hear his story and doesn't judge him for believing there are other survivors out there. In fact, he tells him that he also believes there are others out there.
Could it be that this stranger will help Artyom find the answers that he has been searching for and possibly lead to humans returning to the surface? Or is this person just as insane as the citizens of the Metro accuse Artyom of being? Find out in the latest book in the Metro Trilogy.
(I wrote this after seeing a post on Facebook about getting a signed card from Dmitry himself. My name is Cory Davis on Facebook.)
The book lulls from maybe 30% - 50%. I even found myself flipping through some of the pages because it was so depressing, hardship after hardship, tunnel after tunnel after tunnel. But around 50%, it really picked up. I like the last 50% best of the 3 novels.
WARNING. POSSIBLE SPOILER FOLLOWS. STOP READING IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THE BOOK.
I was introduced to the series playing the video game, then reading the novel. Same with the second game/novel. I loved the mutant animals and the Dark Ones. I thought this book's twist about whom the real enemy is was brilliant, but I’m disappointed about how it will affect the third video game. I guess the mutants won’t make an appearance in the third game, which I’ll miss as it would remove the fear/horror element from the game. I guess it will still be a sci-fi shooter, but just among warring factions of humans. This doesn’t affect my opinion of the book, just how it will translate to the video game.
