The world has been reduced to rubble. Humanity is nearly extinct. The half-destroyed cities have become uninhabitable through radiation. Beyond their boundaries, they say, lie endless burned-out deserts and the remains of splintered forests. Survivors still remember the past greatness of humankind. But the last remains of civilisation have already become a distant memory, the stuff of myth and legend.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMore than 20 years have passed since the last plane took off from the earth. Rusted railways lead into emptiness. The ether is void and the airwaves echo to a soulless howling where previously the frequencies were full of news from Tokyo, New York, Buenos Aires. Man has handed over stewardship of the earth to new life-forms. Mutated by radiation, they are better adapted to the new world. Man's time is over.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA few score thousand survivors live on, not knowing whether they are the only ones left on earth. They live in the Moscow Metro - the biggest air-raid shelter ever built. It is humanity's last refuge. Stations have become mini-statelets, their people uniting around ideas, religions, water-filters - or the simple need to repulse an enemy incursion. It is a world without a tomorrow, with no room for dreams, plans, hopes. Feelings have given way to instinct - the most important of which is survival. Survival at any price.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eVDNKh is the northernmost inhabited s","brand":"ALLIANCE DIST - SF","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":41858674688133,"sku":"PR431562","price":31.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0213\/3637\/files\/image_TTG1OB5Y2YZN.jpg?v=1789090897","url":"https:\/\/smartfoxbooks.com.au\/products\/metro-2033","provider":"Smartfox Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
