Hull Zero Three

By Greg Bear (Hardcover Book, 2010)

A starship hurtles through the emptiness of space. Its destination-unknown. Its purpose-a mystery.

Now, one man wakes up. Ripped from a dream of a new home-a new planet and the woman he was meant to love in his arms-he finds himself wet, naked, and freezing to death. The dark halls are full of monsters but trusting other survivors he meets might be the greater danger.

All he has are questions-- Who is he? Where are they going? What happened to the dream of a new life? What happened to Hull 03?

All will be answered, if he can survive the ship.

HULL ZERO THREE is an edge-of-your-seat thrill ride through the darkest reaches of space.

"Not for those who prefer their space opera simple-minded, this beautifully written tale where nothing is as it seems will please readers with a well-developed sense of wonder." --- Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

"Greg Bear's voice is a resonant, clear chord of quality binding some of the best SF of the 20th Century to the short list of science-savvy, sophisticated, top-notch speculative fiction of the 21st. More than a grace note, Hull Zero Three is a compelling allegro in the growing symphony of Greg Bear's finest work." --- Dan Simmons

"Hull Zero Three is a lean, mean, supercharged sense-of-wonder engine." --- Alastair Reynolds

"Hull Zero Three is a grand adventure of scientific discovery in the tradition of "Orphans of the Sky" and "Rendezvous with Rama" -- by turns chilling and touching, it poses challenging questions about what it means to be human." --- Charlie Stross

"Bear is one of our greatest science fiction writers." --- Vernor Vinge

"Bear remains in the forefront of speculative SF, displaying a genius for portraying the excitement of hard science through the struggles of his all-too-human characters." --- Library Journal

"Bear is one of our very best, and most innovative, speculative writers." --- New York Daily News

"A writer for anyone concerned with the human condition." --- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

"If anyone is the complete master of the grand-scale SF novel, it's Bear." --- Booklist
