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.

Summarizing from my prior Metro reviews: the series is set in the Moscow subway system after a nuclear war. The system consists of 223 stations on 12 lines and were designed as nuclear shelters with sealed gates, generators, filtered air intakes, weapons, medicine and other and life-sustaining systems. When the war starts the people lucky (?) enough to be in the Metro or get in from the surface before the hermetically sealed doors are closed are saved, and people left on the surface are presumed dead. Eventually, the stations become their own city-states and form alliances amongst themselves.
Returning to 2035 as the main character and protagonist is Artyom. He sat out most of 2034 as the story focused on Homer, Sasha, and Hunter (supporting character in 2033). The plot of 2035 focuses again on a quest taken by Artyom, with Homer and Sasha also making appearances. As the novel opens Artyom has returned to normal life in his home station two years after the events of 2033. Having heard rumors of radio contact made with the outside world he dons a radiation suit, surfaces, and climbs to a high building with radio gear in hopes pick up a radio signal. After having no luck after many days of attempts he decides to set out to the station where the supposed signal was received. The plot of this 20-hour book picks up quickly and progresses at a furious pace to the end. Artyom finds himself in hair-raising situation after hair-raising situation as he tries to uncover the truth of what is really going on on the surface. Is it habitable outside of Moscow? Did other countries survive the war?
I liked 2035 a little bit more than 2033 with the shorter 2034 third in preference. I find it hard to compare these books with any others I've read. There are some similarities with the great Wool series by Hugh Howey in that human life has gone subterranean to survive a calamity, and not all is what it appears to be. There were times where 2035 got a bit raunchy for my tastes and there was a scene that didn't work for me in audio but overall I thought it was excellent. The mystery that Artyom was attempting to solve in this book captivated me from the beginning and I barely had time to relax during the entire 20 hours.
I'll give this 4.5 stars rounded up to 5 as this series was absolutely epic and this was my favorite installment.
