Review "Stuffed with adrenaline-pumping action and mystifying ambiguity, Bear's series launch is a tempest of rousing SF adventure with a dash of Peckinpah."―Publishers Weekly on War Dogs"Military sci-fi, action and adventure, and a whole lot of thought-provoking complexity."―San Diego Union-Tribune on War Dogs"Packed with adventure and incident...and conveyed with gritty realism."―Kirkus on War Dogs"Greg Bear's voice is a resonant, clear chord of quality binding some of the best SF of the 20th Century to the short list of science-savvy, sophisticated, top-notch speculative fiction of the 21st. More than a grace note, Hull Zero Three is a compelling allegro in the growing symphony of Greg Bear's finest work."―Dan Simmons"Hull Zero Three is a grand adventure of scientific discovery in the tradition of "Orphans of the Sky" and "Rendezvous with Rama" -- by turns chilling and touching, it poses challenging questions about what it means to be human."―Charles Stross"Hull Zero Three is a lean, mean, supercharged sense-of-wonder engine."―Alastair Reynolds on Hull Zero Three"Not for those who prefer their space opera simple-minded, this beautifully written tale where nothing is as it seems will please readers with a well-developed sense of wonder."―Publisher's Weekly (starred review) on Hull Zero Three"Greg Bear is one contemporary master of the old ways, and in Hull Zero Three he gives the generation starship theme - crystallized beautifully by Robert Heinlein in 1941's "Universe" - a vigorous makeover...."―bn.com"The heart of the mystery is worthy of Bear in its bravura extrapolations into far-future science and moral ambiguity...a testament of faith both in human beings and in something beyond them, divine or indistinguishable from it, and it seems directed as much toward the world of today, with all its sinful affections and deceits, as it is toward the far future."―Locus on Hull Zero Three"I loved Hull Zero Three - this book reminds me of why I fell in love with science fiction in the first place. Searing questions of humanity, a good old fashioned riddle of a plot, and excellent conceptualization make Hull Zero Three more than worth the effort."―thebooksmugglers.com

The first person narrative continues by Vin, the "Skyrine" that we met in War Dogs, but, as he notes, it wanders a bit. Besides that, nobody knows what's going on, which may be standard operating practice for grunts, but doesn't help move the story forward much. Then there's the alien tech, courtesy of the "Gurus" that put us up to taking on the "Antag" invaders moving into our solar system. Their tech, and that of the really ancient race that left artifacts on Mars, is guilty of super-science, though it's on the edge of being comprehensible, which is all you can ask, I guess.When we left Vin at the end of War Dogs, he's gotten back from Mars only to wind up in military confinement and isolation, mostly on account of having been contaminated by green dust in an ancient alien artifact while fighting on Mars. Now he gets sprung and, despite the title, spends the first three quarters of the book back on Mars catching up with the remnants of his squad and the few surviving settlers, before zooming off towards the promise in the title.It's not called "Return to the Red Planet," but we spend a lot of time wrapping up loose ends from the first book.I do like the logistics invoked in fighting on another world. The characters keep a close eye on "sips and sucks" and are very aware that they're never more than a few hours from running out of air or whatever. Also, I've not doubt that Greg researched the feel of grunts far from home, because that all seems alternately gritty and boring enough to be accurate.Like a lot of middle books, it picks up from the first and sets up for the third without every having a story to call its own. The ending promises that the next (last?) book in this series will go off in something of a new direction and it will be fun to see how Greg Bear pulls it all together at the end, so I'm still looking forward to the finish.I don't not-recommed Killing Titan, unless it's the only part of the series you're going to read, but I'm not in love with it regardless.

Hard to follow Michael Venn's "trip" through a war on Mars then Titan. He and others are evidently "infected" with a green prefer on Mars that allows them to communicate with Bugs a now extinct race that, according to Bear, seeded Mars and Earth.Much of these two books are Venn's trying to describe. . . stuff.If you're into psychedelia, War Dogs and its companion books are the right place to be. I like my stories concrete and easy to visualize, so these two books were a struggle.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Fun and curious By R. Horton First Greg Bear novel I've read. At times, it seems more like atmospheric poetry than a novel. What I appreciated most is that it's set in a very technological world and yet the technology isn't the star of the show. (No Start Trek technobabble here) Rather, it's simply mentioned in passing, as if Ven and all take its existence for granted, much the same way that we take our own technology as given. Biggest fault is that many of the supporting characters are underdeveloped and start to run together. Overall, I enjoyed being taken for a ride and would certainly give Mr. Bear another try.
