Metro 2033

Metro 2033 is an international best seller by Dmitry Glukhovky and has inspired both the video games of Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light.

After an apocalyptic event the citizens of Moscow, Russia had to flee from the radioactive surface down into the maze of the metro system.  Down in the metro system the people have built cities that they call stations all around the metro.  There have been wars that have broken out between the communist reds and the freedom fighters, but there is still another enemy that is not of this earth.  The stations fall one by one to the mutated monsters, rats, and the most dangerous of them all the dark ones.  The only way to save the metro and destroy the dark ones is in the hands of Artyom.  It is his mission to help the people or destroy them it’s his choice.  Has this mission been fate or does he have some kind of connection to the dark ones.

This incredible action packed adventure novel really has you thinking what will happen next.  Artyom has many different experiences and meets very different people throughout his mission around the metro.  He will have to make decisions that would be best for his mission but will risk the lives of friends, family or even an entire station.  He meets new friends and new enemies.  With all these decisions you could insert your own ideas and see what would happen if you made these decisions, if you would die or find something useful or save your friends or family.  This novel easily grabs your attention no matter what kind of genre you like because this novel has everything. 

This novel has everything a reader could want and makes you ask question and keeps you guessing.  It is impossible to put this book down.  You can order it on Amazon.  Hardcover is $82.70 and paperback for $17.58.  Be warned that you will have to find the English version since it was originally published in Russian.
