The long-awaited sequel to the cult bestseller Metro 2033, the second volume in the Metro trilogy, Metro 2034 continues the story of survival and struggle that unfolds in the mazes of the Moscow subway after WWIII.

As the entire civilization was wiped out by atomic bombs and the surface of the planet is polluted with neclear fallout, the only place suitable for men to live are shelters and bunkers, the largest of which is the subway system of Moscow, aka the Metro.The year is 2034. There's no hope for humans to return to the surface of Earth, to repopulate the forsaken cities, and to become once again the masters of the world they used to be.
So they rebuild a strange and grotesque civilization in the tunnels and at the stations of the subway. Stations become city-states that wage trade and war on each other. A fragile equilibrium is established. And then all can be ruined in matter of days. A new horrible threat looms that can eradicate the remains of humanity and end our era. It would take three unlikely heroes to face this menace.The basis of two bestselling computer games Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light, the Metro books have put Dmitry Glukhovsky in the vanguard of Russian speculative fiction. Metro 2034 tells a previously unknown part of the greater Metro saga that some only know from video games.
Whether you're new to this series, are a fan of the first novel, or want to explore the world of Metro in depth, Metro 2034 is a perfect read for you! Featuring blistering action, vivid and tough characters, claustrophobic tension and dark satire the Metro books have become bestsellers across the world. I am really dissapointed. I loved Metro 2033 and I expected Metro 2034 to be equally good or even better - well, I shouldn't have had such a positive attitude. The only thing that stayed as interesting as in the first book is the postapocalyptic universum of people living in the Moscow metro but still, Metro 2033 showed us more of the metro and, in my opinion, did it way better.
In Metro 2034, characters (maybe with exception for Leonid who wasn't my type, but still a really interesting person) I am really dissapointed. I loved Metro 2033 and I expected Metro 2034 to be equally good or even better - well, I shouldn't have had such a positive attitude.

In Metro 2034, characters (maybe with exception for Leonid who wasn't my type, but still a really interesting person) tend to be boring. Ok, I can't complain about Homer, but Sasha-Alexandra just sucked.
I really wanted to like her, I tried so hard! And in some parts I did, but her pathetic 'love' for Hunter broke everything. None of others really touched me. In my opinion, I might have found it better if I hadn't read the first book before that one - but the author set the target of excellence with first book and couldn't reach it himself writing the second one. I wanted to enjoy this book since I enjoyed and its video game adaptation, but this was a serious disappointment. What I enjoyed about the first novel - the sheer idea of people surviving the nuclear apocalypse in a vast, sprawling network of underground subway stations and the possibilities it presented - is almost entirely absent from this book.What it does instead if go for a much more straightforward storyline, which is unfortunately far less compelling and interesting.

The previous installment read (at least at times) almost like a collection of loosely related stories in the universe, bound by the protagonist and his quest, which takes him through the different stations of the metro, each of which is unique. In this case the author introduces two protagonists (one of whom appears in the previous novel), whose stories interconnect and who both have to accomplish an important goal together.This doesn't sound terrible at all, but this time round Glukhovsky makes it so horribly boring. His characters are paper-thin (especially Sasha, the teenage girl), and a recurring character from the previous novel is made to be a walking stereotype of a madman traumatized by war. The characters are unlikable and unbelievable, their relationship is cringy and to make everything worse they constantly engage in conversations about deep subjects with each other and other characters that they meet along the way.
However, none of this is profound or enlightening in any way, just flat and uninteresting, and successfully removes any sense of tension or interest that the reader might have developed at the beginning. I found myself struggling to finish it, and only did it out of a sense of duty.I struggled to finish this and wouldn't recommend it to anyone, especially to those who liked the previous installment and would like to see more of the underground world of the metro.
I know that the author wrote one more book set in this universe, and I might still read it, but for now my enthusiasm to do so has been substantially cooled. 'The Fates, good and evil!' Metro 2034 is a sort of sequel to the brilliant Metro 2033.
I say 'sort of' as it doesn't really follow on from the events of the first book in the series. Obviously, we're still set in the Metro of Moscow, where humanity is on the brink of extinction living in a post-apocalyptic world. The Metro has survived and adapted 20 years after the first nuclear weapon was fired.
Instead of one big underground system, we're introduced to a type of Greek polis city system, with their own gov 'The Fates, good and evil!'

The Metro has survived and adapted 20 years after the first nuclear weapon was fired. Instead of one big underground system, we're introduced to a type of Greek polis city system, with their own government, politics and environment. Dmitry Glukhovsky takes a lot of influence from Greek literature and history, which isn't a bad thing - some novels I've read that become saturated in a authors knowledge, whether it be Greek influences or something completely different such as sowing - actually I've never come across a knowledgeable author regarding sowing!Arytom, the main character from Metro 2033 is only mentioned by various characters as a person of awe.
Is he alive or was he blown to bits when confronting the Dark One's? We don't really know. A favourite character of mine does return however, Hunter.
Changed psychologically from his encounter with the alien Dark One's, he has forgotten himself - conflicted between wiping out mankind in the Metro or saving mankind (which was his original mandate). He is rather badass, not much of a looker though, but then he is Russian and it possibly doesn't help being exposed to radiation.
We never find out what happened to Hunter between the previous novel and this one - we can only guess he was damaged by the Dark One's.Besides Hunter there are three other important characters in Metro 2034 - Homer, who is a old man, he wants to write a history of the previous war and of life within the Metro, he seems to be lacking inspiration. He shortly isn't lacking in this, as Hunter selects him for a mission. Then there is Sasha, daughter of a former commander of one of the Metro's poleis who was banished. She finds herself attempting to influence and calm down Hunter - a interesting dance going on there. Finally there is Leonid, a sort of musician - the story got weird with him, as he seemed to influence people with his music, very strange.
Anyway, Leonid wants to seduce Sasha. He concocts a story about a 'Emerald City' that is just beyond the boundaries of the Metro. A sort of Atlantis and Great Library in one. This was so terribly written, it just made no place being there, if you want to confuse the reader, you did it there.I always find it amusing when reading Russian fiction, the authors always seem to use a characters full name. It's rather a quirk I've come to chuckle at instead of groan.
Groaning isn't a good thing, what next, apathy?I've not really touched on the story. Hunter is pissed off, he is a confused mesh of wanting to kill everything and everyone and of saving everyone and everything. Sasha is his foil, she helps he remember what he was. To a extent Homer also does this.
Hunter wants to purge a virus that has spread through a neighbouring poleis (Tula), by purging he means the station itself and the populace. The posit of the story sits around his fight within himself mentally and of Homer and Sasha. A nice side story fleshed out by the author is Homer's attempts to write something credible.Metro 2034 is essentially about fate and chance.
Can a awful experience (Hunter) change who you are, or can a chance meeting bring you back from the brink and remind you of who you really are (Sasha). Is it fate/destiny that makes you do certain things, or is it free will? From a fictional point of view, it is whatever the writer wishes to put to paper. From a realistic point of view, I like to believe the 3 Fates and 9 Muses have no business telling me what to do - so I'll stay in my world of me making the decisions thanking you. As for Hunter, I'm not sure it's just his broken mind telling him what to do!My impression of 2034 was of a disappointing let down on many fronts. Firstly it's been one years since Arytom disappeared, there is hardly any mention of him.
Secondly, Hunter returns but without Arytom? Thirdly the story is really confusing for the first half of the novel. The story plays out through the point of view of Hunter, Sasha and her father. Then there is Homer and his fumbling with literature and continual reminiscing of the past. Later on the story is actually told through Homer's written words - all very confusing and not clearly defined. I really struggled with the first half.
I don't put down books, but this one I wanted to move on from. What changed? All three stories converged into one, which was great, as the stories became a story and didn't feel so disjointed. Leonid the Piped-Piper of Moscow Metro doesn't really make a appearance until later on, which was great as he turned out to be a weird mystical character who had no place in the novel. He just didn't sit right with me.
Overall the translation is very strong, which for a Russian novel is a good thing - as sometimes things do get lost in translation. What more can I say? Well a lot more moaning actually, but I'll save it and leave it to the reader to decide. The short: it had so much potential but it was sexist, the characters were stupid, the ending sucked.The long:I loved the first book; the universe, the writing style, the characters, the darkness. So I wanted to love the second because it had those same things. The plot could've been really cool, if it was executed correctly.
The ending left me angry because I felt like if you just deleted basically the entire middle section of the novel, the outcome would've been the same, like the entire The short: it had so much potential but it was sexist, the characters were stupid, the ending sucked.The long:I loved the first book; the universe, the writing style, the characters, the darkness.

The pages oozed sexism, in some parts directly stating that women cannot stand tall and strong on their own, they must rely on a man, and it is their job to be beautiful and tend to their man. The female protagonist was a ridiculous character with no backbone, no strength, no real personality, just a fanciful crush on a man she only just met that spurred her to want to fix his brokenness. And that's pretty much the whole novel; a stupid teenage girl lusting after an older, more rugged man - throw in a younger, good looking guy for a crappy love-triangle, and BAM, its like a horrible teen flick with a bit of gore.
This whole novel would've been better if there was no females at all, like in the first one. 'Metro 2034' (Metro #2), D.

And, unfortunately, I have to admit: all those reviews were right.One of the reason for this is that the story is not about Artyom – he only appears very briefly within the story – but about Homer, another survivor of the atomic attack. It makes you feel completely out of the story and I have to say that I was very disappointed when I found out that Artyom is not the protagonist anymore.
In the first novel you meet Artyom, the story’s hero and you hope to learn more about his adventures. But nope, he is totally put in the background.What also disappointed me a little, is that the story, as in many other books, only picks up speed at the very end of the novel and then comes to an end so quickly. However, there is one positive thing about it: the story ends fast and I was able to move quickly to the next novel of the series.But, besides all those negative things, there are also good things about this book. The stories that Sascha and Homer tell each other during their journey have really pleased me. One learns, among other things, more about how the nuclear strike had happened, which has brought the whole city in to this hell-like situation.Unfortunately, this part disappointed me. Although I am a big fand of the Metro series, I can not give this book a really good rating.

It expands the Metro a little bit, looks at it from the point of view of an old man who were an adult when the surface world ended, and also from the point of view of a young exiled woman who's a stranger to the Metro as the blasted surface is to the Metro inhabitants.

There's a brief guest appearance from Metro 2033's Artyom, but mainly the book follows the tragic stories of Homer and the Brigadier, and Leonid and Sasha, which eventually intertwine and depart and then connect again in odd ways (as is normal in this strange, decaying world).This book is everything the previous book isn't. And by that I mean to say that Metro 2033 is great and Metro 2034 is.
Gone is the preternatural vibe of the previous book, replaced by super-heroic figures of action and brawls against mutated monsters (some times hordes of them). Also gone is the exploration, the simultaneous sense of wonder and dread from such a horrible, uncanny place. In their stead we have a group of characters that are alternate between epically tragic and absurdly stoic. Even 'the big menace/plot device' isn't very convincing in the sense that the stakes are so ridiculously high that I failed to connect with the protagonists' plight.I know there's a third book, which takes place a decade after the first one and it centers on Artyom again. Here's hoping that the third is more like the first book and less like the second! I was thinking this would be a sequel to Metro 2033 and while there are few mentions of the events that occurred in the previous book, this can be read as a stand-alone too. I can't help but compare the two books.
I think I might have said Metro 2033 felt like a collection of short stories with all the stations and characters. This on the other hand feels more like a proper book, but the story isn't as compelling. Yes, there is a threat to the station, yes, there are characters looking for a way I was thinking this would be a sequel to Metro 2033 and while there are few mentions of the events that occurred in the previous book, this can be read as a stand-alone too.

But there's also a lot of philosophical thinking and much less characters. In a way I liked this more with the studies of trust and truth and moral and ethics, but I truly wish the story had had more drive.
It got better towards the end, but then the conclusion felt rushed and I'm not sure leaving the ending open worked this time. Leonid as a character was probably the best thing in this book which is surprising because when he was first introduced he annoyed me.
Now having read the whole book I almost wish he'd gotten a book of his own because it feels like his could have been a better story than Sasha's. It's not a bad book, but I was hoping for more. 2.75/5Err, I'm a bit disappointed. I wanted this book to be as exciting and interesting, but it wasn't. The ending was confusing and crumpled.
I didn't really like Sasha. I maybe liked Leonid a little bit. Hunter was rather interesting, but too grumpy and also very, very confusing.But!

Don't even wanna say anything more about it. It's been eight years since I read 2033, and I had to re-read the ending of that before I started this one.
I was immediately reminded that these books don't spare your feelings.I thought it would be a bit of a struggle to read this, but it really wasn't. The concept of the metro-dwelling societly is complex, but you don't need to know of all the little details, what you can imagine yourself is good enough to get the gist, and the author tells you the rest.There are some issues It's been eight years since I read 2033, and I had to re-read the ending of that before I started this one.

Some of the sentences are a bit short, and some really disjointed. But it's not something that ruined the story for me.THe other is that some of the characters are probably really intricate, but you never get to see it, because you never get beyond the outer layer (Hunter, for example). Homeros was very interesting and likable, however. I loved the world and I was fascinated by it. But I didn't like the characters at all, I didn't like their relationships (and that Sasha and Hunter thing was terrible). The main character is a manly man with dark soul and so much pain inside. He's so boring I can't even.

Ironically, Metro 2034 is the sequel to Metro 2033! When I listened to the first book in the trilogy my setting was perfect - it was November and the dark, cold, commutes and dog walks were the perfect environment to experience the dystopian nightmare playing out in the post-war subway stations and tunnels of Moscow. I listened to the sequel on some of the longest, brightest days of the year, which didn't match the book's setting but the writer so perfectly depicts t I returned to the Moscow Underground.

You feel like you are there.Metro 2034 is more of a standalone book than a sequel.
Only two characters from Metro 2033 returned for this book- Artyom, the protagonist of the first book in a very limited role, and the militant madman, Hunter. The sequel has three main characters: the aforementioned Hunter, who is on a mission to find out what caused his home station, Sevastopolskaya Station, to lose contact with some of the central stations it traded with; Homer, an old man writing a history of the Underground and who decides to join Hunter on his quest; and Sasha, and orphaned teenage girl fleeing the station she and her father were banished from.
Along the way they meet a plethora of interesting characters, experience a gamut of post-nuclear horrors, and discover the reason for the loss of communication.When I read Metro 2033 I printed out a map of the Moscow Underground to follow the path of Artyom's quest, there were so many stations visited and I became disoriented. In the sequel, the plot moved slower and less stations were visited so I was able to keep my bearings without my map. The author is particularly good at character development and world building.
I've read a lot of dystopian novels but nothing like these two.I listened to both books on Audible and the narrator, Rupert Degas, was great. All of the characters had variations of Russian accents and I was able to follow along easily. I hope he narrates the finale, Metro 2035 which I am looking forward to using my next Audible credit on.I didn't like this as much as Metro 2033 but I'm rounding my 3.5 star rating to 4 stars because of the great writing. And compelling mystery. Two stars because it is the World of METRO, otherwise it was more times annoying than enjoyable.
I hope the next book (if there will be a next book) will be more on the spot, and Dmitry Glukhovsky will learn how to write female characters properly. The sexism of the first book is not obvious, simply because there are no women in it. (Which on its own is a good indicator how terribly sexist it is.) Except a mother in the beginning and one near the end who wants to sell her child.But here there Two stars because it is the World of METRO, otherwise it was more times annoying than enjoyable.

He had a story, he had a past and he had problems and weaknesses. But Sasha was there to ask questions all the time, and to throw herself to the comletly psychopath Hunter with trembling desire, who must be 40 years older and by all account a monster in looks and in actions.In fact I change my rating to one star.

It would take three unlikely heroes to face this menace.I had high hopes for this book having loved the first novel and the video game spin off last light i was hoping for a little extra lore in the metro universe but what i got was a lot i already knew and a rushed story. An old metro worker before the war Homer who is looking for inspiration for his new book as he finds he hasn't gotten long and he wants to leave a legacy before he meets his end.
Hitchs a ride with Hunter the ranger we all thought lost from the first book now this was a huge surprise for me as i like everyone in the metro book throught he was dead by the hand of the dark ones but apparently not. Hunter is now a traumatised war vet who is fighting with himself as well as everyone else in the metro and he now has one goal just to kill his way to save the metro at any means possible.
And they where the two most intresting charecters you met everyone else was just boring and forgettable after heading through an abandoned irradiated station they meet and save a young girl called Sasha who had a major daddy issue as her farther died she leached onto the next big strong man she meets who is hunter which then leads to an un-needed love triangle in her mind and hunter couldn't care less he saves her twice and the second time was just because he wanted to kill the beast he didn't care that it attack her first. Homer trys to take her under his wing as a grandfather but she cares more for a man whos real love is to kill.
There are more charecters but not really any thing to shout about as for the story it was ok a virus is spreading through the metro and it turns that that's hunters goal to go from station to station killing everyone just so he can save the un infected metro. And that's it really the ending is intresting and we get to see artyom a few times as he fights for the order as a ranger but they are few and far between and we get to learn more about unexplored parts of the metro. The emerald city 3 stations cut off from collapse tunnles with the stations real deep underground under the university of Moscow and theres rumors of bright minds living there in peace still inventing and progressing science. And rumors of lines that are so long they would take weeks and months to walk but apparently the government bunkers are down there and some rumors of huge colonys in the wilderness of the metro where the bombs didn't drop.
It was all really fascinating those parts but again they are few and far between and your drawn in and then drawn back out and it was just really disappointing i wanted more i sorta exspected more but you can't have everything that you want sadly. So i will end it like this if your a fan of the first book and games give this book ago it's not great but has it's small moments but if you've just read the first book maybe skip this one and go straight to metro 2035 instead.3/5 stars on goodreads50/100 Ginger points.
Didn't take to long to read it.This is my first review, go easy on me!The second instalment in the Metro book series from Russian author Dimitri Glukhovsky.I started reading the books after playing the video games (Metro 2033 & Metro last light) which are both available on Xbox one and 360 as well as PC and PlayStation 3 and 4.It's a decent book, not as good as Metro 2033 but it's still good!The story starts at a station called Sevastopol (Sevastopolskaya in Russian).

The station is one of the furthest stations from Polis which is at the centre of the Metro. Sevastopol is considered a small Sparta by its inhabitants as it supplies two thirds of electricity to the metro, unfortunately most of the generators lie further away from the stations Hermetric doors. Unfortunately Sevastopol is often attacked by mutants because of this.When multiple patrols go missing on their way to a inhabited station further up the line called Tula (Tulskaya) a new danger emerges, more dangerous than Mutant and Man.The main protagonist of the story is called Homer. Homer later teams up with Hunter an ex-spartan ranger to tackle the problem head on. On their travels they pick up a seventeen year old girl called Sasha.All the main characters are fleshed out and interesting. The author also manages to build up the suspense and the books gets quite intense near the end.I won't say anymore as I don't want to spoil anything.I rate this book 4 starts out of 5. It's only 4 stars because it isn't as good as Metro 2033.I would definitely recommend this book!
It's cheap too from amazon!Thanks for readingGeorge.

Metro 2034 Book Pdf
First off let me say I enjoyed this book, but its different from Metro 2033, so knowing that going into reading Metro 2034 is nice.The setting is still great, though, I was a little more confused as access to the outside world increased in this novel compared to the first.Characters were cool once I got to know them a little better. But for the most part, the story revolves around Hunter.Now what took me a bit to get used to was the writing style change. But, once again, knowing that before reading this was great. I expected it and adapted.All in all, another great novel in the Metro series, its just a bit different. Still Great writing, characters, plot, and setting. The second part of this trilogy is really different from the previous book in several ways.First of all, this books is not a personal journey as the first one, we dont follow the steps of a single character, but of 2 different characters, Sasha and Homer, so the story feels less lonely, and more about our relations with others, and how those can save ourselves.I like pointing this out, because i feel the difference is really important, as it defines the tone of most of the book. And The second part of this trilogy is really different from the previous book in several ways.First of all, this books is not a personal journey as the first one, we don´t follow the steps of a single character, but of 2 different characters, Sasha and Homer, so the story feels less lonely, and more about our relations with others, and how those can save ourselves.I like pointing this out, because i feel the difference is really important, as it defines the tone of most of the book.
And don´t get me wrong, this book is not a happy journey, its as dark and oppressive as the previous one, it just dwells into the psychology of the characters in a different way.The characters are. Well, they are a little bit stereotypical, but i guess part of that was the idea, they are exactly who we expected them to be from the start, but they mature and learn by their interaction with others. And dont get me wrong, there arent many things that will catch us off guard, no surprises, the world of the Metro is dark, oppressive, and doesn't have any space for miracles. Bad things will happen often, good things not so much, miracles don´t exist.This being said, the journey is quite a ride, we slowly start to understand what is going on, the world is strange, it's full of questions, and we won´t get many answers, but the characters will do their best to discuss this between them, we do not get answers from the author, we get all our info through the characters, so we experience the world from their eyes, and this helps set the tone a lot.I liked the story, at points even more then the first book, in moments, a little bit less. It's not great, it will not blow your mind, but it will keep you hooked, more if you really enjoyed the first one.You could create a parallelism between the ending of the first book, and a huge portion of the plot in this one, and i liked that this moral choice makes it's way into the narrative again, as it was a great twist on the first book, and i would love to see it's implications on the third book.I don't like writing about sequels, since it´s complicated to say much without making spoilers from previous books.

What remains of every one of us?Tombstones sink in, moss covers them, and after a few centuries the name can no longer be read.
Every forgotten grave is designated a new corpse.As the generations passed, remembrance of the dead diminished until it was forgotten. What was called everlasting peace only lasted half a century.
The bones were disturbed as the graveyards were mulched in to suburbs.The earth had become too small, for the living and the dead. In half a century a funeral had become a luxury that only few could afford who had died before judgment day.
But who cares about a single body when the whole planet is dying.Earlier the remains of humanity had only had the right to be there as long as the living remembered them. A human being remembers their relatives, their friends and colleagues. But his conscience only reached back three generations before it faded away. Just more then fifty years.With the same ease, you let the picture of our grandfather or your friend from school out of our conscience into absolute nothingness. The memories of a human can last longer than the bones, but as soon as the last one who remembered us has passed we dissolve with time.Back then there was almost no more space in the thick family album for old and brown turned pictures, but almost nobody that looked through it could say for sure who was on the photos. The photographs of the passed can be interpreted as some kind of mask, but not as a print of their soul when they were living. And the photographs only decay as slow as the people that live inside themWhat remains?Our children?They can look like us.
In their reflection we mirror ourselves in a mysterious way. United with those we had loved. In their gestures, in their mimics we happily find ourselves or with sorrow. Friends confirm that our sons and daughters are just like us. Maybe that gives us a certain extension of ourselves when we are no more.
We ourselves weren’t the first. We have been made from countless copies that have been before us, just another chimera, always half from our fathers and mothers who are again the half of their parents. So is there nothing unique in us but are we just an endless mixture of small mosaic parts that never endingly exist in us?
Have we been formed out of millions of small parts to a complete picture that has no own worth and has to fall into its parts again?Does it even matter to be happy if we found ourselves in our children, a certain line that has been traveling through our bodies for millions of years?What remains of me?.What kind of immortality was left for mankind?”—.
