About this listen

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.

Great story with all the twists and turns you'd expect from Dinniman, and excellently narrated as always.

This story was perhaps a little too complex and would have been more enjoyable (in Audiobook format at least) with a tiny bit of simplification. I'd love to see a few more guns on the mantlepiece as well - there were a couple of major developments that just seemed to come out of nowhere. I guess that's the price you pay when an author is a pantser, but still.

All in all, this is still quality work. If you've read the last 6 books, you should pick this up too. If you haven't read the last 6, go back and start at book 1, this will be way too confusing.

Good but very complex
