I also have a tough time buying into the idea of everything on the surface mutating into super monsters within a single generation after nuclear war. The protagonist of the novel is a year-old man named Artyom who was born before the nuclear holocaust. Realising that the Dark Ones were killed senselessly, Artyom tears his mask off and heads back home in tears. Locations have only minimal descriptions, likely assuming that you're already familiar with what the Russian subway system looks like--I shouldn't have to look things up on Google Images to understand what an author is talking about. Soon, factions emerged, ranging from the independent peacekeepers the "Rangers of the Order", to the communist "Red Line" faction and the fascist "Fourth Reich", to the more powerful factions such as "Polis", which contained the greatest military power and the most knowledge of the past, and the "Hanza" regime, which controlled the main ring of metro stations by its sheer economic power. Artyom, the protagonist, is sent on a mission of which he does not actually have a clue what it entailed, but it must have to do with the deformed creatures from the world above that are trying to enter the metro system. Feeling a sense of responsibility for the Dark Ones' attacks and seeking adventure, Artyom accepts. Metro also has its fair share of genuinely spooky moments. See also: Metro Novel. What an unique and compelling premise, right?

But one of the main flaws of the book as I see it is that Glukhovsky simply does not pay enough attention to building a cohesive, believable world, and the promise in the premise is not fulfilled. Dmitry Glukhovsky. Artyom travels to the surface with Melnik and young Brahmin called Daniel. Hunter sees that Artyom is a bit of a lost soul and takes advantage of that. But the last remains of civilisation have already become a distant memory, the stuff of myth and legend. Author 5 books 69 followers. I struggled to remain engaged with Artyom and indeed the fate of the metro system. I did not understand what the last pages were meant to be about and I see that more readers had the same trouble. They offer a solution to the threat of the Dark Ones in exchange for Artyom's help in recovering a sacred book, as they believe him to be psychically sensitive. It is set in the Moscow Metro, where the last survivors hide after a global nuclear holocaust.
