  • Metro 2035: Setting Roots in the Dark

    Grab your gas mask and cartridges. It’s time to return to the metro. ‘Metro 2033‘ is one of my favorite books that I’ve reviewed. It was an incredible – if horribly depressing – story that established the characters and the world of post-nuclear Russia, with an ending that blew me away. ‘Metro 2034‘ was a…
