Metro

Listen to the gripping post-apocalyptic trilogy that inspired video games, spin-offs spanning a variety of genres, and an international following. 

In 2013, nuclear war tore the world apart. Now, 20 years later, humanity is nearly extinct, and cities have been left uninhabitable due to radiation. In Moscow, those who are left seek refuge in the underground train stations of the citywide Metro system, creating communities that gradually became independent states. Among these states, war breaks out as the factions fight over differing ideologies and the last remaining resources.

At the center of the action is Artyom, a young man living in VDNKh, the northernmost inhabited station on its line. Artyom is tasked with a mission that will determine the future of his station—and maybe the whole of humanity.

The Metro trilogy has attracted avid fans and become a cult best seller in multiple countries, including Italy, Poland, and the USA. In Russia alone, more than 500,000 copies of the debut novel, Metro 2033, have been sold. Now exclusively on Audible, you can listen to this inventive and thought-provoking post-apocalyptic series.

Rupert Degas skillfully narrates all three books in the Metro trilogy. To date, Degas has won more than 15 AudioFile Earphones Awards for his exceptional audiobook performances. Degas's talents as a narrator are on full display in this trilogy as he renders the tension and suspense in each installment. Listeners have marveled at his narration, commending him for his work with accents and creating distinct voices that feel true to each of the characters.

After you finish the first audiobook in the trilogy, Metro 2033, you won't be able to stop there. The second installment, Metro 2034, picks up a year after the events of the first book, introducing new characters and situations, creating an even richer post-apocalyptic world in the process. Metro 2035 is the rewarding final chapter of the series, the conclusion to Artyom and the other characters' stories. It's one you won't soon forget.
