review 1: This was a disappointment frankly. The crew is a wonderful writing exercise rather than a novel. Not to say that it isn't an interesting writing exercise, but a writing exercise just the same. This novel is really a series of character vinettes with the common theme of everyone joining the crew of a space ship called the crypt. So you get a chapter of how this particular character joins the crew, and a different character the next chapter and so on. Occasionally, a character comes back and is instrumental in recruiting another character but that is rare. You get to know a character for a chapter and never seem them again. There is no story to it. The story comes later in a novella which is the sequel. This to is disappointing because it is so short you don't get t... morehe feel for the characters and their situation.This is strictly for hardcore Scott Sigler junkies. If you are not one of them pass this one up. This is a fantastic writer with some fantastic stories to tell start with Infected, Earth Core, Ancestor or the Rookie.
review 2: This is yet another awesome book put out by Sigler, made only more awesome by the fact that other famous podiobook authors contributed their input to this series. Normally this might make for a few too many chefs stirring the pot, but no- this worked out wonderfully. The characters in this book were great & I honestly can't wait for the next book in the series to come out. The only thing I can see people getting a little irritated with is that this book pretty much focuses on crew introductions, hence the title. (Although the irritation will be more from them wanting more book & not wanting to wait for our FDO to put out more!) less
