This Inevitable Ruin

IT'S TIME FOR WAR, FOLKS.

The seventh explosive installment in Matt Dinniman’s best selling LitRPG series and all's unfair in love and war ...

"Dungeon Crawler Carl is legit awesome" #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson

***

Strategy, alliances, pitched battles, betrayal . . . It all makes for great fun and even greater television.

The ninth floor. Faction Wars.

Nine armies enter, led by rich and powerful aliens from across the galaxy.

The winning team must capture and hold the castle at the very centre of the battlefield.

But thanks to Carl, Donut, and Katia, this season is different.

For the first time ever, the crawlers have their own army. The NPCs, who are normally used as nothing but cannon fodder, have become fully self-aware and have formed an unprecedented team of their own.

And it’s not just the crawlers who are at risk this Faction Wars. Any combatant who dies on the battlefield stays in the ground.

For Donut and Katia, the stakes are even higher. No matter who wins the war, only one of them will be allowed to leave this level.

If they all want to survive, they’re going to need a littlehelp.

This is it.

This is what they’ve been fighting toward. This is war.

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

‘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

‘[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

‘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

‘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
