Hull Zero Three

A man wakes aboard a starship with no name, no clothes and no memory. Gravity keeps shifting direction. The heat swings from freezing to unbearable. A small girl finds him and calls him Teacher, then guides him through torn corridors while a mechanical presence closes in.

They pick up other survivors along the way, each as bewildered as he is. Every one of them was built for a particular function in a crew that no longer exists in the form anyone planned. The narrator learns he is a clone, produced and killed more than once, and earlier versions of him left notes behind.

This is hard science fiction told as a horror puzzle. The setting is a closed ship, and the narrator has lost his memory. The mission's original purpose has been disputed for so long that both sides of the argument now live on in bodies grown for the task.

Expect a claustrophobic read with an uneasy mood, in which the narrator pieces together what the ship is, who he was and why the fight over its purpose continues.
