Cold, Wet and Naked on a Strange World. Greg Bear’s Hull Zero Three Debuts Today

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.

Multiple Hugo and Nebula award-winning science fiction master Greg Bear’s fantastic new novel, Hull Zero Three, published today, is an edge-of-your seat thrill ride through the darkest reaches of space.

In a starred review, Publishers Weekly described Hull Zero Three this way: “Not for those who prefer their space opera simpleminded, this beautifully written tale where nothing is as it seems will please readers with a well-developed sense of wonder. Booklist calls it “One of Bear’s most thought-provoking and well-crafted novels to date.”

And Dan Simmons, Hugo Award-winning author of the classic Hyperion science fiction quartet, says, “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.”
