It's here that Master Sergeant Venn will finally understand his destiny and the destiny of every intelligent being in the solar system-including the enigmatic Gurus.

More than a grace note, <i>Hull Zero Three</i> is a compelling allegro in the growing symphony of Greg Bear's finest work.--<i><b>Dan Simmons</b></i><br><br>I loved <i>Hull Zero Three</i> - this book reminds me of why I fell in love with science fiction in the first place. Searing questions of humanity, a good old fashioned riddle of a plot, and excellent conceptualization make <i>Hull Zero Three</i> more than worth the effort.--<i><b>thebooksmugglers.com</b></i><br><br>Military sci-fi, action and adventure, and a whole lot of thought-provoking complexity.--<i><b>San Diego Union-Tribune on War Dogs</b></i><br><br>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.--<i><b>Publisher's Weekly (Starred Review) on Hull Zero Three</b></i><br><br>Packed with adventure and incident...and conveyed with gritty realism.--<i><b>Kirkus on War Dogs</b></i><br><br>Stuffed with adrenaline-pumping action and mystifying ambiguity, Bear's series launch is a tempest of rousing SF adventure with a dash of Peckinpah.--<i><b>Publishers Weekly on War Dogs</b></i><br><br>The heart of the mystery is worthy of Bear in its bravura extrapolations into far-future science and moral ambiguity...a testament of faith both in human beings and in something beyond them, divine or indistinguishable from it, and it seems directed as much toward the world of today, with all its sinful affections and deceits, as it is toward the far future.--<i><b>Locus on Hull Zero Three</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Greg Bear</b> is the author of more than thirty books of science fiction and fantasy, including <i>Forerunner: Cryptum, Mariposa, Darwin's Radio, Eon</i>, and <i>Quantico</i>.
