Publisher's summary

Attention. Attention. The gates are down. The hunters are loose.

Run, run, run.

A lush jungle teeming with danger. Savage dinosaurs seeking blood. A fallen princess intent on vengeance. A mysterious, end-of-floor celebration for the top crawlers, dubbed “The Butcher’s Masquerade”.

The sixth floor. The Hunting Grounds.

As the remaining crawlers battle for their lives, a new, terrible threat looms. Outside, tourists are finally allowed to enter the game, and they are here and ready to hunt. Among them is Vrah, a famed and veteran hunter, intent on collecting the biggest trophy of her career.

But their prey is far from harmless, and this season they are fighting back.

Dungeon Crawler Carl and Princess Donut return in book five of the acclaimed LitRPG series.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

wonderwall

Book 5 usually sucks in most series, but this 5th entry in the DCC series is a rare gem of non-suck.

Absolutely Fantastic book and performance

Man oh man, this series is something to behold. A wonderful roller coaster ride of emotions. Sometimes I was laughing until my chest hurts, other times I wanted to cry, and every now and then I was just stunned into silence. Another excellent part of the series with an unbelievably fantastic performance by Jeff Hayes. If you enjoyed the previous books, you’ll love this one.

These books keep getting better!

I picked up the first book on a whim and now I can't wait for the next one in the series.
The voice acting is phenomenal and the story is unique and brilliant!
