Much of the book is told by characters who don't know what is going on, but the result is unfortunately so disjointed and baffling that I wound up clueless to the end.
It shares this with Wool, but in the end Wool executed it better and I enjoyed that book more.
Hull Zero Three lost the thread enough times that by the end I was just glad it was over.
Smashing science fiction adventure, rising above the humdrum for me with the exploration of the harsh theme that any interstellar generation colony ship would be such a massive expenditure of resources that it would be equipped to occupy habitable planets at its destination no matter what they found when they got there - including existing intelligent life.
Cool (somewhat likely) concepts on human colonization of other worlds. Plausible conflicts, engaging and good pacing, but pretty fluffy.
