"There was something wonderful before this. What was it?"

Hull Zero Three is a 2010 Science Fiction novel by Greg Bear (Also known for The Way Series).

It follows the story of a man who awakens on a star ship unsure of who he is or what he is doing. Monsters roam the spaceship.

If that sounds a lot like the 2009 film Pandorum, rest assured this story ends up far, far differently.

Tropes used in Hull Zero Three include:

• Artificial Gravity: Averted. The lack of gravity and the variable spin of the hull impact the characters often.
• Cloning Blues
• Death of a Thousand Cuts: The spaceship is headed down this road.
• Lego Genetics: The author adores this trope.
• The Nameless: Almost everyone except for Tsinoy. Up until the girls named them that is.
• No OSHA Compliance: Most of the ship lacks signage and easy-to-understand instructions, considering its job.
• Ontological Mystery
• Ragnarok Proofing: in the end the ship is able to achieve its objective.
• Transhuman Aliens: All of the protagonists.
• X Meets Y: Pandorum meets Moon
