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.

Red Schuhart is a stalker, one of those young rebels who are compelled, in spite of extreme danger, to venture illegally into the Zone to collect the mysterious artifacts that the alien visitors left scattered around. His life is dominated by the place and the thriving black market in the alien products. But when he and his friend Kirill go into the Zone together to pick up a "full empty", something goes wrong.

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.

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.

As the ash and chaos from Mount Rainier’s eruption swirled and finally settled, the story of the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined...until now. The journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the town’s bloody wreckage, capture a tale too harrowing - and too earth-shattering in its implications - to be forgotten. In this audiobook, Max Brooks brings Kate’s extraordinary account to light for the first time, faithfully reproducing her words alongside his own extensive investigations into the massacre and the legendary beasts behind it.

Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

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!

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.
