Beschreibung

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The apocalypse will be televised! Welcome to the first book in the wildly popular and addictive Dungeon Crawler Carl series now with bonus material exclusive to this print edition.

You know what s worse than breaking up with your girlfriend? Being stuck with her prize-winning show cat. And you know what s worse than that? An alien invasion, the destruction of all man-made structures on Earth, and the systematic exploitation of all the survivors for a sadistic intergalactic game show. That s what.

Join Coast Guard vet Carl and his ex-girlfriend s cat, Princess Donut, as they try to survive the end of the world or just get to the next level in a video game like, trap-filled fantasy dungeon. A dungeon that s actually the set of a reality television show with countless viewers across the galaxy. Exploding goblins. Magical potions. Deadly, drug-dealing llamas. This ain t your ordinary game show.

Welcome, Crawler. Welcome to the Dungeon.Survival is optional. Keeping the viewers entertained is not.

Includes part one of the exclusive bonus story Backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret.

Rezensionen

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

"If there's a better LitRPG than Dungeon Crawler Carl, I haven't read it." - Shirtaloon, author of He Who Fights Monsters

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
