The Crypt, Book 2

By: Scott Sigler

Narrated by: Ray Porter

You can’t trust your senses—and you sure as hell can’t trust the ship.

The P.U.V. James Keeling has two objectives: raid enemy supply lines, and capture live specimens of a flesh-eating, warmongering alien species. The first mission is suicidal. The second might be worse.

But there’s a complication. The operation unfolds in the territory of a neutral power—one whose ships escort the enemy, and whose laws forbid Keeling’s crew from firing back. A single stray artillery shell could spark a second war, one the Planetary Union will not survive.

Through it all, the crew must endure the living nightmare of serving on the Crypt. Every “dive” through transdimensional space peels back another layer of reality. Crewmembers whisper of things seen in the dark, things that shouldn’t exist. Stress compounds. Sanity frays. A crew of rejects, thieves, murderers, and cowards—the “best of the worst“—face death at every turn.

When even your bunkmate might try to kill you, who can you trust?

Book two of The Crypt plunges into unknowable terror, where you can’t trust your own senses—and the ship itself may be the greatest threat of all.

A Solid Book 2

With our main characters already established, it’s time get more answers and further mysteries on what the Crypt is. That’s all the while embarking on an audacious mission that Admiral Epersen insists on. That guy really ruffles my feathers!

So when's the next one?!

A wonderful follow up that sets new standards for the story moving forward. I'm looking forward to the next time I'm entombed.

Bad things happen in the mud.

Another riveting installment filled with crazed, sometimes-naked, violence, inter-dimensional space travel, and maybe some personal growth??

Sigler strikes again in the second book of “The Crypt” series. A must read for fans of military, science-fiction, and/or horror. Set in the larger universe the Author has manifested, this story incorporates familiar set pieces and constructs in a way that is intriguing to those familiar and absolutely approachable for those not yet initiated into the larger scope available for the hardcore fans or “junkies”

Prepare yourself for the mystery that maintains as we carry on with what remains of the crew of the P.U.V. James Keeling. Masterfully narrated by the incomparable Ray Porter.

Magnificent!

A magnificent continuation of The Crypt story and a phenomenal addition to the Siglerverse! Story grabs your interest in the first chapter and leaves you wanting for more in the last. Look forward to the next book.

More please!

Scott does a fantastic job of telling a story from multiple character points of view. I am never confused on what point of view I'm in because every character feels and thinks like an individual.
Great action, good humor, and just enough crass to make this a great installment of the series.
