Summary
World War Three wiped out the humankind. The planet is empty now. Huge cities became dust and ashes. Railroads are being eaten by rust. Abandoned satellites hang lonely in their orbits. Radio is mute on all frequencies. The only survivors of the last war were those who made it into the gates of the Metro, the subway system of Moscow city.
It's there, hundreds of feet below the ground, in the vaults of what was constructed as the world's largest air-raid shelter, where now people try to outlive the end of days. It's there that they created a new world for themselves. The stations of the Metro became city-states, and its citizens, torn apart by religions and ideologies, are fighting for now-scarce commodities: air, water, and space.
This tiny underground world can only remind humans of an immense world they once were the masters of. It's been 20 years since Doomsday, and yet the survivors refuse to give up. The most stubborn of them keep cherishing a dream: when the radiation level from nuclear bombings subsides, they will be able to return to the surface and have the life their parents once had. But the most stubborn of the stubborn continues to search for other survivors in this huge emptiness that once was called Earth. His name is Artyom. He would give anything to lead his own people from the underground onto the surface.
And he will.

This is the best book in the series. Sad its over.
I love this story it's bleak and uncompromising, the heart waxes and wanes as you listen. The emotion you gain from the narrator and writing itself is strong. A sense of hope and also of hopelessness. The narrator keeps your attention and the story keeps you thinking.
If this is really the headstone of this series, it's also its keystone, bringing in the games and the first and second book creating a fortune of backstory and that feeling, where you know this road, and Artyom is about to set off from VDNKH once again. Another adventure and another dive into those dark tunnels of the metro.

Meh.
Excellent narrator for a plodding, overly long narrative, much of which is unnecessary to the plot.

Disappointing
An anti-climactic and weak end to the series which lost most of the first book's wonder and charm, devaluing a fascinating and unique setting with Illuminati-style nonsense and various questionable plot twists that become obnoxiously predictable.

Immersive bleak rich and emotive.
Listen to this almost from start to finish. Something about bleak stories seems to shrink my first world problems. Great sound quality. Interesting story.

Not as good as the 1st two
Bit of a letdown. Some parts went on a bit and lost its way but it was a must after reading the 1st two. It was nice how he spliced the 1st two books into the 3rd. Linked up well

An Amazing Story
The Metro series never failed to entice me. The story itself is constantly making you question what you previously thought. As Artyom begins to have more positive experience life in the metro reminds him that life is not so easy.

Great rest
Very gripping the whole Metro series as a whole is top notch, and if you like the books you’re sure to love the video game series too

The end of the end is here.
Would you try another book written by Dmitry Glukhovsky or narrated by Rupert Degas?
Yes I would listen to another book. Don't wanna brag but I have already listened to three. Metro 2033, Metro 2034 and Metro 2035.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
I was looking forward to seeing where this book was going to end. I was really looking to see if there was anyone alive on the surface still.
Which character – as performed by Rupert Degas – was your favourite?
Think I will have to say Artyom. I had a bit of a wobble liking him when he started acting like a spoiled kid and made all the wrong decisions after quick snap judgements without thinking things through.
If this book were a film would you go see it?
I would the first book Metro 2033 but i think the other two books don't have a big enough hook to make a movie with it.
Any additional comments?
All three of the Metro books are worth a listen and Rupert Degas did a brilliant job of reading and making all the characters different. I can't think of any that were the same or just slight variant of other voices he did. Some of the words in Russia i mauled while trying to read the book but listening to him read it it was so much easier to understand.
