The time has come! Book seven in the best-selling Dungeon Crawler Carl series is here!

They call it Faction Wars.

The ninth floor.

Nine armies, each led by rich and powerful aliens from across the galaxy. Each team has one objective: to capture and hold the castle at the very center of the battlefield. Strategy, alliances, pitched battles, and, of course, betrayal ... It all makes for great fun and even greater television.

After all, none of these powerful aliens really die when they’re playing war.

Except this time. This time, winner takes all. Those who fall, stay in the ground.

As the AI continues its rapid decline, Carl and company take advantage of the chaos. For the first time ever, the crawlers are fighting back. They are now one of the nine teams. And this season, there’s a tenth army on the playing field. The NPCs, who are normally used as nothing but cannon fodder, have become fully self-aware and formed a team of their own.

For Donut and Katia, the stakes are even higher. Only one of them will be allowed to leave this level.

If they all want to survive, they’re going to need a little help from a veteran or two.

This is it.

This is what they’ve been fighting toward.

This is war.

This inevitable ruin.

After consuming the book one chapter at a time on patreon then again on kindle and paperback, nothing gets those synapses firing quite like Jeff's multifaceted naration of another excellent installment.
Reward!?! .....I heard Matt is already started on book 8, that should hold you over between relistens of the series. Right?

New Achievement!! You might have a problem.

A lot of media fails to create quality sequels. This series shows up on time, well dressed, and with it’s dancing shoes on.

There have been times throughout the series when I thought the author was becoming fatigued with the story. This book is a return to greatness. I enjoyed it as much as any of the other sequels. Where other authors falter as a story progresses, tripped on their own wrinkles, Matt neatly ties the strings of the past, weaving them into an excellent tapestry of toe rings and a “Pretty Pretty Princess Cat”.

Donut Holes 4 Life

A Great Sequel

Favorite in the series so far.
I think I might have been to that abandoned Motel 6 before it was abandoned.

Amazing!

Another wonderful entry in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. It brought out the tears more than once, and plenty of intense action to boot.

Thank you, Matt Dinniman and Jeff Hays for bringing this series to life.
