Hull Zero Three

"A lean, mean, supercharged sense-of-wonder engine." —Alastair Reynolds

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 three?

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.

"This beautifully written tale where nothing is as it seems will please readers with a well-developed sense of wonder." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Never one to play it safe in his consistently inventive fiction, Bear takes the reader for a harrowing ride on a labyrinthine starship. . . . Bear's pithy, occasionally cryptic writing style perfectly captures the chaotic experiences and unsettling revelations the team endures, while putting an intriguing spin on the timeworn SF theme of interstellar planet hunting. One of Bear's most thought-provoking and well-crafted novels to date." — Booklist
