À propos de cet audio
The only way out is to die...
Few know the warship’s actual name. Fewer still know what it really is. And almost no one knows of its unique ability, an ability that could tilt the balance of power if not outright win the war.
But everyone has heard the rumors. Rumors about the worst place the Planetary Union Fleet can send you. Rumors of a ship with an eighty percent crew mortality rate. In these hushed, fearful whispers, the ship does have a name.
People call it “the Crypt,” because those aboard are as good as dead.
The PUV James Keeling can do something no other vessel in existence can do—slip into another dimension, travel undetected, then re-emerge onto our plane and surprise enemy targets. But the thing that makes the Crypt unique also makes it a nightmare for those onboard; interdimensional travel causes hallucinations, violent behavior, and psychotic breakdowns.
Keeling could be the Union’s greatest weapon, a game-changing asset that can defeat the bloodthirsty zealots of the Purist Nation, the Union’s mortal enemy. If, that is, the brass can find the right crew.
But with those dark rumors traveling at lightspeed throughout Fleet, sailors with connections, with favors to call in, or those with careers on the rise pull any string they can to avoid being assigned to the Crypt. The brightest and best shield themselves from this top-secret craft, yet the brass must send it out on critical missions.
As the war drags on and casualties pile up, Fleet crews the ship by assigning the worst of the worst. If you are convicted of assault, fraud, cowardice, theft, rape, murder—or you cross the wrong Admiral—you may find yourself aboard the Crypt. Most are given a choice: serve a two-year stint on the Keeling and have your record expunged, or be executed for your crimes.
Welcome to the PUV James Keeling, where the only way out… is to die.
#1 New York Times Bestseller Scott Sigler returns with this highly anticipated Military Sci-Fi series, THE CRYPT. It's BATTLESTAR GALACTICA meets EVENT HORIZON in this tale of service and solitude. Pre-order your copy today!

He was even ready for a date with the hottest woman in his office next Friday. At least he hoped so. But all that training, all those rations, all that prepping? Useless for the apocalypse that actually played out. Del wakes up half-buried in a giant trash pile, missing his thumbs. And, um, covered in red fur. He's stuck in a world of fuzzy monsters, senseless violence, and cult-like crusaders.

Histoire
A gunslinger with four affinities is a myth. It's the kind of story whispered in frontier saloons one drink before closing and around campfires in the dead of night. For the heroes and villains in those tales, that impossible power is a boon, a gift. For Mr. Jones, it's a curse. Of course, that's not his real name. He's had many. Changing names is necessary when you possess a power that every lawman and outlaw would kill to obtain. To survive, you keep your head down, kill when you must, and never stay in one place too long.

The mission of Watrehouse and Detachment 2702 - commanded by Marine Raider Bobby Shaftoe - is to keep the Nazis ignorant of the fact that Allied Intelligence has cracked the enemy's fabled Enigma code. In the present, Waterhouse's crypto-hacker grandson, Randy, is attempting to create a "data haven" in Southeast Asia....

In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....

"Sigler grinds his dastardly cast of misfits into the teeth of unrelenting action and unspeakable horror to craft a gritty tale of cosmic dread that is mad, bad, and dangerous to know."—Pierce Brown, number one New York Times best-selling author of the Red Rising Saga
"Crazy, fun, and very cinematic! It's like Hunt for Red October meets Event Horizon."—Peter Clines, New York Times best-selling author of Paradox Bound
"Deeply researched, wildly entertaining, and highly recommended. Space opera with a very sharp edge!"—Jonathan Maberry, New York Times best-selling author of the Joe Ledger Series

100+ chapters and not much happened
As the book approached its end/climax I found myself fast forwarding versus savouring the denouement. Also, much of the book was confusing as the dozen or so characters are sometimes referred to as their rank, their first name, their nickname or their last name. Add to that most (if not all) of the characters are unlikeable and it makes for a long slog.
Excellent narrator.
Not interested in reading any further of the author’s books - YMMV.

Take your time and really enjoy this one!
As always this author did an amazing job of world building and character development.
BUT TAKE YOUR TIME WITH THIS STORY. Not because it is difficult to follow, but because every scene has so much detail. You don't want to miss a second of it!
The characters are all really enjoyable and easy to relate to. Even the characters that were technically unlikable and overall bad guys were just so enjoyable to learn about.
This book was an adventure and a half! I'm dreading listening to the last half of the epilogue because I just don't want the book to be over.

Waiting for something to happen...
I have to say I loved the premise. The idea is ripped straight out of Event Horizon, which is one of my favorite movies, but ultimately I was disappointed. After sitting through all the tedious "worldbuilding" and backstory for a roster of fairly boring characters, they end up actually doing very little and you are stuck with what is essentially a prequel for a better book that hasn't yet been written. It had its moments, don't get me wrong, but this needed a lot of more meat on its bones. The first book of a series should be a real banger and be able to stand on its own, but this feels like it was all introductory exposition and the actual plot was cut short. I'm hoping the next book will make up for that, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Great ride into the submarine style space ship known as the Crypt
If you have read any of Sigler’s other works then you will love this one. Not shy on the blood and gore. Strap in and get ready to dive in if you’re a fan of horror, sci-fi or space marines.

Dark and compelling
Complex characters in close quarters, no one really “in the know” of when, why or how, brilliant narration by Ray Porter. Was totally engaged. Loved it. Want more. I eagerly look forward to the next installment in this series.

Grit and Horror, great combination.
Only issue I had was the volume gets too low in some sections. Needs a bit of volume levelling.
Interesting characters and situations, slow burn but steadily increasing in tension and action. Looking forward to future books.

FDO FOR THE WIN
I'm mean, come on. Another touchdown for Scott.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Sci Fi angle of removing effective computers. I can't think of anything that has taken this tactic. This book is very visceral and would be great as a movie or video game adaptation.
I can't wait for my next hit of The Crypt.

Riveting story, solid performance...
Coming off the Asperger's echo-chamber of the Bobiverse series, I was reluctant to start another spacey book but had come across Sigler's "The Fifth Day of Deer Camp" and decided to give this one a try. Glad I did, because it was pretty damn good.
The setting is intriguing, with just the right amount of mystery peeled back, with more layers revealed underneath. At no time did I feel cheated, or that the author took the lazy way out with characters or plot points.
In fact the only real gripe I have with the story is that, at least in the first third of the book, there appears to be some assumptions of understanding based on reading prior entries of the existing universe. Not a dealbreaker, though, and after the first third you've got enough detail to just get on with it.
I think I saw a comment somewhere from the author that he'd begun working on this piece somewhere in the late 2000s, and only very recently became aware of the similarity between part of the setting / plot and the WH40K universe. I find this difficult to believe, all things considered.
To summarize, this is a Star Trek Event Horizon jaunt into Species 8472's territory, fighting hyper-Catholics, using the ship from Farscape, all as an analogy to WWI-WWII submarine warfare. Will most definitely pick up whatever continuation entries the author produces...
