★★★ Our Pick of the Week ★★★ Hull Zero Three [ Kindle ] By Greg Bear ISBN: 0316072818 Publisher: Orbit Publication date: November 22, 2010 Binding: Hardcover Estimated price: $11.60 Share this book on Twitter | Facebook

Description: 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.
