    From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Alive comes a pulse-pounding horror novel set in 18th century colonial America amid a reimagined French and Indian War, in which a member of the legendary Rogers’ Rangers with indigenous ancestry must protect his father’s homeland from a vicious, unknown threat. Perfect for fans of historical horror and readers of Stephen Graham Jones, Daniel Kraus and Alma Katsu.

    A brutal, gripping tale of courage, loyalty, and sacrifice set in a horrifying 18th-century Colonial America.


    Amidst the brutality of the French and Indian War, an officer in the legendary Rogers’ Rangers is thrust into a nightmare that will challenge both his leadership and his lifelong quest to leave his father’s heritage behind. Lieutenant Geoffrey Rapelje is tasked with guiding a ranger detachment to his birthplace to preserve a fragile treaty between the British and his father’s people.

    What Geoffrey finds is not the idyllic village of his youth, but a land—and a tribe—ravaged by a vicious, unknown force. 

    He and his rangers embark on a harrowing journey across a North American wilderness beset by violence, betrayal, and inexplicable terrors. To defeat a genocidal enemy, Geoffrey must embrace a dark truth he has long denied.

    PRAISE FOR SCOTT SIGLER


    “[THE CRYPT] is the most amazing thing I’ve read in a really long time.”
    Matt Dinniman, author of Dungeon Crawler Carl


    “Suspenseful… [Alive] lives up to its hype, packing plenty of thrills.”—Entertainment Weekly


    “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.” [THE CRYPT]
    Pierce Brown, #1 NYT Bestselling author of the Red Rising Saga


    “Crazy, fun, and very cinematic! It’s like Hunt for Red October meets Event Horizon." [THE CRYPT]
    Peter Clines, NY Times bestselling author of Paradox Bound


    “Deeply researched, wildly entertaining, and highly recommended. Space opera with a very sharp edge!” [THE CRYPT]
    Jonathan Maberry, NY Times bestselling author of the Joe Ledger Series


    "A relentless space adventure that had me guessing with each page, Sigler is at the top of his game!" [THE CRYPT]
    Nicholas Sansbury-Smith, author of the Helldivers Series


    "A gripping page turner with a wonderfully fleshed out ensemble case, whose skillful combination of military science fiction and horror that reads like Run Silent, Run Deep meets Event Horizon." [THE CRYPT]
    Analog Science Fiction


    "A high-concept military/space opera SF in which a crew primarily made of misfits and criminals are sent to operate the Fleet's most mysterious warship. A high-stakes, highly entertaining interstellar adventure."
    Kirkus Starred Review

    “Fascinating and intriguing… a cross between Lord of the Flies and The Maze Runner and yet… so much more.”—Fresh Fiction

    “A tense, unsettling page-turner of a story—both deeply strange and wildly compelling.”—Cherie Priest, author of Boneshaker and Maplecroft


    “Aliens: Phalanx brings a wholly different vibe to an already incredible franchise. I think anyone who loves the movies will enjoy the hell out of this one, and it would be a great choice for someone’s first foray into the Alien novels!… An intense, gory, and super addictive read!"—Grimdark Dad Review


    “The story itself escalates in a way that any xenomorph fan will enjoy... Aliens: Phalanx is a brilliant story”—Casey Douglass Review
