Carl’s Doomsday Scenario (Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 2) by Matt Dinniman

New York Times Bestseller

“Greetings, Crawlers! The training levels have concluded. Now the games may truly begin.”

The aliens have arrived, and they’ve turned Earth into a multilevel, video game–style dungeon. It’s the newest season of the galaxy’s most-watched game show, and Carl—a Coast Guard vet who still can’t seem to find any pants—is back with his ex-girlfriend’s cat, Princess Donut, feline royalty with a flair for the dramatic.

Now on the third floor, the stakes climb higher. Their ratings are off the charts. Viewers can’t get enough. But the dungeon grows deadlier by the day, and there’s a brand-new complication: Quests.

Welcome to the Over City. A sprawling, once-thriving metropolis leveled by a mysterious calamity. But these ruined streets are far from empty. An undead circus prowls the wreckage. Murdered women rain from the sky. And an ancient spell is finally ready to reveal its dark purpose.

Can Carl and Donut crack the mystery before the clock runs out?

This print edition includes part two of the exclusive bonus story, Backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret—a little something extra you won’t find anywhere else.

The second book in the smash-hit Dungeon Crawler Carl series, this one is pure, propulsive fun. Equal parts thrilling, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt, it’s the kind of story you’ll want to devour in one sitting.

Perfect for fans of LitRPG, dark fantasy, and anyone who loves a scrappy hero (and an even scrappier cat). Grab a copy, find a cozy corner, and let the sea air and salty pages carry you away.
