Krátky popis
The year is 2033. The world has been reduced to rubble. Humanity is
nearly extinct. 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, the
stuff of myth and legend. More than 20 years have passed since the
last plane took off from the earth. Rusted railways lead into
emptiness. The ether is void and the airwaves echo to a soulless
howling where previously the frequencies were full of news from
Tokyo, New York, Buenos Aires. Man has handed over stewardship of
the earth to new life-forms. Mutated by radiation, they are better
adapted to the new world. Man's time is over. A few score thousand
survivors live on, not knowing whether they are the only ones left
on earth. They live in the Moscow Metro - the biggest air-raid
shelter ever built. It is humanity's last refuge. Stations have
become mini-statelets, their people uniting around ideas,
religions, water-filters - or the simple need to repulse an enemy
incursion. It is a world without a tomorrow, with no room for
dreams, plans, hopes. Feelings have given way to instinct - the
most important of which is survival. Survival at any price. VDNKh
is the northernmost inhabited station on its line. It was one of
the Metro's best stations and still remains secure. But now 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 the legendary Polis, to alert everyone to the awful danger and
to get help. He holds the future of his native station in his
hands, the whole Metro - and maybe the whole of humanity.
