Book trailers have the potential to be awesome if they’re done right, and sometimes that means taking a few chances and shaking things up a bit. Our friends at Orbit did just that by using the source code for Quake2World, an open-source multi-player video game, to build the trailer for Greg Bear’s new science fiction thriller HULL ZERO THREE.
Read the description of the book – I think you’ll agree that this is the perfect medium for a book that already sounds like it could be an great video game:
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.
HULL ZERO THREE is an edge of your seat thrill ride through the darkest reaches of space
