About this ebook

Trapped on a mysterious spaceship, the only way to escape is to survive. A thrilling novel from the Hugo and Nebula award-winning Greg Bear.

A starship hurtles through the emptiness of space. Its destination - unknown. Its purpose? A mystery. Its history? Lost.

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 the woman he loved? What happened to Hull 03?

All will be answered, if he can survive. Uncover the mystery. Fix the ship. Find a way home.

HULL ZERO THREE is an edge of your seat thrill-ride through the darkest reaches of space, from one of the genre's biggest names. Perfect for fans of Arthur C. Clarke's RAMA or the film EVENT HORIZON.

Ratings and reviews

This book is the weirdest, most totally pointless book I've had the misfortune to buy! Exactly what out is about I quite honestly haven't got a clue. I was expecting something of a light read like Alien to while away a couple of hours but this is something akin to the Rosetta Stone crossed with Whipping Star. I've rated it at two simply for the effort the author put in.

Endless descriptions of the exploration of the Ship ground me down and was a struggle to finish the book.

Incredible to finally read something original in the genre.
