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 most amazing thing I’ve read in a really long time.”
Matt Dinniman, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dungeon Crawler Carl, on The Crypt


“Sigler is in full control of his talent for sharp characterization and amazing visualization.”
Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse series, on Nocturnal


“Cutting-edge science, a perfectly-realized setting, terror both plausible and profoundly unsettling.”
Lincoln Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Relic, on Earthcore


“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, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Red Rising Saga, on The Crypt


“A lean, mean, monster of a book that reads like a technothriller on steroids. If you aren’t reading Sigler, you’re missing out on the cutting edge of sci-fi horror.”
Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of the Joe Ledger series, on Ancestor


“Three recommendations: don’t read it at night, or just after
you’ve eaten a full meal, or if you’re weak of heart. You’ve been warned!”
James Rollins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sigma Force series, on Infected’


“Sigler is at the top of his game!”
Nicholas Sansbury-Smith, New York Times bestselling author of Helldivers, on The Crypt


“Packed with action, clever ideas, and memorable characters, this is Sigler at his very best.”
Richard Kadrey, New York Times bestselling author of Sandman Slim, on Slay


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


“Crazy, fun, and very cinematic! It’s like Hunt for Red October meets Event Horizon."
Peter Clines, New York Times bestselling author of Paradox Bound, on The Crypt


“Deeply researched, wildly entertaining, and highly recommended. Space opera with a very sharp edge!”
Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of the Joe Ledger Series, on The Crypt


"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."
Analog Science Fiction, on The Crypt


"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


“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
