Carl, a Coast Guard vet, faces an alien apocalypse with his ex's cat, Princess Donut. Trapped in a deadly, game-like dungeon, they must entertain a galactic audience to survive. Exploding goblins, magical potions, and drug-dealing llamas await. Can Carl and Donut navigate this twisted reality show, or will they become just another casualty in this interstellar spectacle? The stakes are high, and survival is optional. Welcome to the Dungeon, where every move is broadcasted, and every decision could be their last. Will they level up or be game over?

From the publisher

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.”
