We bring you a tale from THE CRYPT era of the Siglerverse, and a big Junkies favorite — particularly the rather grisly end of the story. We re-wrote the story to bring it into line with THE CRYPT timeline and political structure. I had some great consulting on this one from Junkies who served in the US Military, for which I am grateful.

BONES ARE WHITE Episode 9: "Passenger, Pt. 1"

The second installment in the Color Collection of short stories by #1 New York Times best-selling novelist Scott Sigler, author of the Infected Trilogy, the Earthcore Duology, Nocturnal, and Ancestor.  

Stories in BONES ARE WHITE: 


  
Passenger (a Siglerverse story): Fighting on foreign worlds invites many ways to die, but some are far worse than others. To lose control is to lose one's self.

  
Bag Man: Some sins fade away, and others never die. When you champion a murderous vigilante, you'd better hope he runs out of steam before he finds the things you thought you'd buried in the past.

  
Chuckles Mulrooney, Attorney for the Damned: "That lawyer is a clown" has never rang more true. A deal with the devil isn't set in stone, as long as you have good representation. 

  
Hero (a Siglerverse story): We've all seen the young hero battle against the galactic empire. Leon Timmerman fit that role. They called him "unkillable." But what happens when Leon gets old and the leftovers of his enemy come a-calling?

  
Eusocial Networking: Do you want ants? Because this is how you genetically engineer ants to solve the energy crisis. 

  Beam Up on Aisle Five:  

  
Kissyman & The Last Song: When you kill for money, you kill those you're paid to kill. Sometimes, though, pulling that trigger and be murder in itself. 

  
Hunter Hunterson & Sons: Home: The red-state, monster-stompin' Huntersons take up their new digs in the bluest of blue cities, San Francisco.

  
Hunter Hunterson & Sons—the $15 Burger: Recorded live in front of Scott's diehard fans, the "Junkies," this rollicking tale of monstery goodness goes good with an expensive-ass burger.
