Story
It was the end of World War II. FDR's New Deal had redefined American politics. Taxes were at an all-time high. The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had created a fear of total annihilation. The rise of secret government agencies and sanctions on business had many watching their backs. America's sense of freedom was diminishing... and many were desperate to take that freedom back.

Story
Arkady and Boris Strugatsky are widely considered the greatest of Russian science fiction masters, yet the novel they worked hardest on, the one that was their own favorite and that listeners worldwide have acclaimed their magnum opus, has never before been published in English. The Doomed City was so politically risky that the Strugatskys kept its existence a secret even from their closest friends for 16 years. It was only published in Russia during perestroika in the late 1980s, the last of their works to see publication.

From July 10, 1943, the date of the Allied landing in Sicily, to May 8, 1945, when victory in Europe was declared - the entire time it took to liberate Europe - no regiment saw more action, and no single platoon, company, or battalion endured worse, than the ones commanded by Felix Sparks, who had entered the war as a greenhorn second lieutenant of the 157th "Eager for Duty" Infantry Regiment of the 45th "Thunderbird" Division. Sparks and his fellow Thunderbirds fought longest and hardest to defeat Hitler.

More than two centuries after World War III poisoned the planet, the final bastion of humanity lives on massive airships circling the globe in search of a habitable area to call home. Aging and outdated, most of the ships plummeted back to Earth long ago. The only thing keeping the two surviving lifeboats in the sky are Hell Divers - men and women who risk their lives by skydiving to the surface to scavenge for parts the ships desperately need.

Publisher's Summary
The year is 2033. The world has been reduced to rubble. Humanity is nearly extinct and the half-destroyed cities have become uninhabitable through radiation. Beyond their boundaries, they say, lie endless burned-out deserts and the remains of splintered forests. Survivors still remember the past greatness of humankind, but the last remains of civilisation have already become a distant memory.
Man has handed over stewardship of the earth to new life-forms. Mutated by radiation, they are better adapted to the new world. A few score thousand survivors live on, not knowing whether they are the only ones left on earth, living in the Moscow Metro - the biggest air-raid shelter ever built. Stations have become mini-statelets, their people uniting around ideas, religions, water-filters, or the need to repulse enemy incursion.
VDNKh is the northernmost inhabited station on its line, one of the Metro's best stations and secure. But a new and terrible threat has appeared. Artyom, a young man living in VDNKh, is given the task of penetrating to the heart of the Metro to alert everyone to the danger and to get help. He holds the future of his station in his hands, the whole Metro - and maybe the whole of humanity.

This story blew me away I loved every second of it so much that as soon as I finished I went and got the next 2, then replayed the game. It added so much to the world I already knew a little about.

A lesson to be learned from this book.
Being that I can't read Russian, I have no idea how exact is the translation of Metro 2033 into English, but I can only presume this version is reminiscent of the original text... because it is exceptional. Dmitry Glukhovsky is a fantastic writer and his imaginative journey through the subway tunnels under the devastated ruin of Moscow is a disturbing and perilous lesson in the irony of the human race. Decades after nuclear bombs blasted the city's infrastructure, its atmosphere, its flora, its fauna and most of its population, survivors who struggle for a semblance of life in the underground haven't learned anything as they stubbornly cling to the political, religious and social upheaval that forced them into the darkness in the first place. Their lust for power remains, their bigotry continues, their myopic view of their own self importance keeps them literally and figuratively in the dark. Rupert Degas is a brilliant narrator who captures the essence of each character with aplomb.

Great as a one-shot, don't bother with the sequels
This first book in the series is an incredible ride! So much atmosphere, a different kind of danger in every tunnel, supernatural and monstrous beings everywhere!
The sequels takes every last bit of what makes this book so good and tosses it all out the window. To sum it up, the second back has literally only three instances of supernatural events right at the start and drops everything else for a love story. The final book retcons the love story but still has zero, zilch, none, nada, not even one instance of the supernatural.
Just get this one and stop. Make up your own ending in your head. You may think you want an ending from the actual author, but trust me. You really don't want the supremely boring, whiny mundane continuation and ending that the sequels give you.

Great Game, even Greater book!
Played the Metro 2033 Redux and Metro Last Light Redux games back in the day and fell in love instantly. Decided to eventually give in and buy the audio book and don’t regret it at all! I have trouble with patients so the audio format and outstanding narrating made this book a breeze and please to enjoy. 5/5 would recommend to anyone!

Slightly Biased Review
I got into the metro series from the release of the Metro Exodus video game title. Having played it front to back twice now, I figured I should give a listen to where it all started in 2033. The narrator does a fantastic job of differentiating the characters with unique voices that make you believe these characters are really speaking. If you're into tense thrillers with only portions of relief upon making it to the next population center, this is your book.

Rupert does a great job narrating giving each character distinctive speech patterns to assist people unfamiliar with Slavic names.

A Solid Sci-Fi Story and Good for Fans of the Game
I played the entire Metro video game series before listening to this, as many did. It's a good Sci-Fi story and definitely helps flesh out the universe a lot more for those interested in it. However, it's very long-winded and almost feels like it didn't have a strong editor. Several sections are guilty of using 10 words where 3 would do and entire sections of it blather on endlessly about subjects that are very uninteresting (I hope I never hear about The Great Worm again.) I think the stuff the games omitted were smart to have been left out.
This isn't a straight narration. The reader acts put many of the parts. Some of them he does pretty well, others are cringeworthy. Unfortunately, those are often ones that are part of the too long sections, like the ones mentioned above. I honestly think I would have just preferred a straight reading.
This was still very good overall and as a fan of the games, I look forward to the next two.

Great! Even the second time
I really enjoy the voice actor reading the book, he had good accents and the story is wonderfully done. I really liked the different adventures and if you like post-apocalyptic fiction, give it a listen, you will love it!
