In the summer of 2013, mankind is devastated by nuclear war. Earth is left largely uninhabitable for several years. A century later, humans fully join the ranks amongst the stars.

The council sends out expeditions to discover the galaxy beyond the relays, they find what remains of earth. Fueled by her curiosity and her drive to discover, Liara joins the first ill fated ground team to set foot on earth. With the help of an unexpected ally she must find her way home and survive what she calls a beautiful kind of hell, the ruins of Moscow and its dark tunnels

Liara T'soni was never meant for combat; she was a archeologists after all. But that doesn't matter in the METRO or in the irradiated ruins of Moscow, where the ship carrying her and the team of scientists bound for the recently discovered Prothe crashed. Now, she must fight to survive long enough to repair the distress signal, but in the METRO everyday is a fight in and of itself.
