Set in the darkest, coldest reaches of space, Hull Zero Three is the story of one man who wakes up cold, alone, and confused on a starship that seems to be determined to kill him. The book has a lot in common with first person shooters – man wakes up lost and alone on a ship taken over by monstrous creatures – but it also displays the rock-solid science and intellect that make Bear such a phenomenal voice in SF.The textures, design and walkthrough for the trailer were built with help from the Quake 2 World project – a free, standalone first person shooter video game — www.quake2world.net
You can read the first three chapters here.

Could’ve used some monologue, even it was a simple “Hello, is anyone there?”, but it was a lovely initiative nonetheless.
I didn’t really like the trailer, it looks to much amateur for me, but the idea of the book sound very interesting.
Video is pretty dull if you’re ever played a video game.
I do want to read the book anyway.
