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.

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.

The Crypt: Eating for F**k Sake

This is a great follow up to the Crypt. Great listen and many characters and intrigue.

Great military sci-fi

A fun sci-fi military story with good ideas and great characters. Sigler keeps coming up with better ideas with each book. I look forward to the next book in the series.
