Dungeon Crawler Carl

SHORTLISTED FOR THE ARTHUR C. CLARKE AWARD One man. One cat. One alien invasion. And a very dangerous dungeon . . . Dive into the first Dungeon Crawler Carl novel - an explosive mix of sci-fi, fantasy, and gaming gone very wrong. 'A comically cosmic adventure series. Often laugh-out-loud funny' Wall Street Journal 'Legit awesome' Brandon Sanderon -------- THE APOCALYPSE WILL BE TELEVISED . . . Humanity has been wiped out. (TLDR: It really wasn't our fault . . .)
A few million survivors are forced into an underground dungeon. They must play a game while a galactic audience cheers them on.
Fight monsters, win loot, beat the alien corporation behind it all. The catch? Only five days to reach the next level. Carl and his ex-girlfriend's cat Princess Donut have next to zero chance of staying alive
- as everyone keeps unhelpfully reminding them. But survival is NOT essential.
Keeping viewers entertained is . . .
--- PRAISE --- 'One of the most bananapants, funny, inventive books I have read in a while' Book Riot 'Fresh. Creative. Hilarious. I'm obsessed...Princess Donut is my queen' Actor, producer and New York Times bestselling author Felicia Day 'If there's a better LitRPG than Dungeon Crawler Carl, I haven't read it' Shirtaloon, author of He Who Fights Monsters 'I don't always say nice things about a book just because the writer has compromising pictures of me engaging in some very complicated international crimes, but when I do, I say them about Matt Dinniman's Dungeon Crawler Carl! Also, 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. Also for anyone who wants to read a good book. 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 '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 a dangerously addicting tale of chaos and mayhem. I'm thoroughly hooked! - #1 New York Times bestselling author Callie Hart 'The hot new saga in fantasy' Daily Telegraph
