This Inevitable Ruin

Dungeon Crawler Carl, Book 7

By: Matt Dinniman

Narrated by: Jeff Hays, Travis Baldree

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.

The series keeps getting better!

The story has a good pace and Matt balanced story progression with action which can be tough. I love that different characters got to shine (like Li Na). This series is by far my favorite. And if I ever meet Matt I will give him the AI inspired foot treatment.

Jeff has ruined reading books for me. I read this book when it first came out because I was going through withdrawals and couldn’t wait 5 months. That did not ruin the audio experience. Jeff enhances the experience to a whole new level. Prepare your tooties Jeff, you get the same treatment.

Donut gets so much attention and love this book!

The stellar storytelling and world building of the universe keeps on going, and gods the story is NOT going the way i expected originally in a great way.

What else can I say except this is the best book yet? High stakes, intimate moments, belly laugh lines, and gore galore!

Best one yet!!

This was already my favorite series, I listened to DCC books for over 1200 hours in 2024. so trust me when I say this is the best one yet!!
