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.
©2026 Scott Sigler (P)2026 Recorded BooksI wasn't initially certain about the original Crypt novel, but by the end of it I was all-in. It was an intensely claustrophobic story that really nailed the uncomfortable feeling of the being on the ship. With the first dive into the "mud" there was a real sense of apprehension about what could happen next.
With this second book of the series, the ship reveals it still has tricks up its sleeve, while the mission takes this inherently alien ship into a massively challenging ambush. It builds on the lore established in book 1 and that of the Siglerverse as a whole. Very much a strong continuation of the story and audio page-turner.
