CARL IS PLANNING SOMETHING DANGEROUS, BUT AT WHAT COST? The eighth explosive installment in Matt Dinniman s best selling LitRPG series, and it's off to the races . . . - [A] comically cosmic adventure series often laugh-out-loud funny Grind your way to dungeon mastery alongside Carl and Princess Donut The Wall Street Journal If there s a better LitRPG than Dungeon Crawler Carl, I haven t read it Shirtaloon, author of He Who Fights Monsters- As chaos and mass panic spread outside the dungeon in the wake of Faction Wars, Carl and Donut find themselves on the tenth floor, where they re forced to compete in a surprisingly normal set of tasks. Well, normal for the dungeon. Races. Get from point A to point B, and don t come in last. After each race, they pick an upgrade for their vehicle and the track gets more challenging. It all seems a a little too simple. Ignore those strange glitches that are occurring with increasing frequency. Don t listen to those whispers about what s happening on the mysterious eleventh floor, something the system AI calls A Parade of Horribles. Nobody, not even the showrunners, knows what that means. Just that the AI has ominously dubbed it a coming-out party for the ages. Everything is fine, Crawler. I repeat, everything is fine. Carl hates that it s business as usual. The rules of this floor have taken away his agency. That just will not do. So Carl is planning a party of his own. It s a plan so dangerous, so insane, he can t even consult his friends lest the AI put a stop to it. Because if it goes wrong, it s not just the end of Carl and Donut. No. The stakes are higher than they ve ever been. Includes part eight of the exclusive bonus story Backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret. -Praise for Dungeon Crawler Carl Fresh. Creative. Hilarious. I m obsessed Princess Donut is my queen Actor, producer and New York Times bestselling author Felicia Day This series has no goddamn business burying so much depth and emotion and complexity under its bawdy, gory surface, but it does so anyway. What a wild-ass and unexpected delight New York Times bestselling author Scott Lynch This is the book for anyone who ever wondered what it would be like to be a role player in a game with the best game master ever or maybe anyone who has been outside at night-in their underwear-looking for their cat and wondering, What s the worst thing that could happen? Once you start, you won t put it down' Patricia Briggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mercy Thompson series One of the most bananapants, funny, inventive books I have read in a while Book Riot Dungeon Crawler Carl is just one big smile all the way through. Put on your best pair of boxer shorts and sit back for a truly fun and enjoyable read New York Times bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson Dungeon Crawler Carl is the best start to a series I ve read this year. I wish I d tried it sooner Will Wight, author of the Cradle series To describe the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, and the first book in particular, one must blend the darkest, grittiest science fiction with the humour of Hitchhiker s Guide to the Galaxy. It mixes fun, whimsical absurdity, and serious, dark themes with dire consequences it is so spectacularly good that I cannot recommend it high enough Grimdark Magazine Dinniman s Douglas-Adams-but-playing-D&D romp was so much fun that I immediately went out and got the next two books genuinely joyful LitHub.com
