The seventh book in the explosive LitRPG Dungeon Crawler Carl series

They call it Faction Wars.

The ninth floor- nine armies led by wealthy alien elites, all battling to seize the central castle. Strategy, alliances, treachery-it's perfect television.

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

But not this season. Winner takes all, and the fallen stay dead.

With the AI collapsing, Carl and his team seize the chaos and join the war as one of the nine factions-just as a tenth army rises- NPCs, who have become fully self-aware and formed a team of their own. And for Donut and Katia, only one can leave this level.

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

This. Is. War.

Reviews for This Inevitable Ruin

- - PRAISE FOR THE DUNGEON CRAWLER CARL SERIES * - * Dungeon Crawler Carl is legit awesome. * #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson * Fresh. Creative. Hilarious. I’m obsessed…Princess Donut is my queen. * Actor, producer and New York Times bestselling author Felicia Day * 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 *
