"Matt Dinniman has cooked us all up a deliciously terrifying gamer geek stew, mixing up Avatar and Ender's Game, with a dash of The Last Starfighter and Independence Day thrown in. This tale is more twisted fun than you can shake a joystick at.” Ernest Cline, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Ready Player One WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU BECOME YOUR PLANET’S FINAL BOSS? PRE-ORDER THIS EPIC AND FAST-PACED NOVEL FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SMASH-HIT DUNGEON CRAWLER CARL AND JOIN THE FIGHT. - All New Sonoran colonist Oliver Lewis ever wanted to do is run the family ranch and keep their aging fleet of intelligent agriculture bots ticking. But now the colossal Apex Corporation has been hired to commence an “eviction action” – exterminate all life on New Sonora in preparation for a reboot. And they charge bored Earthers for the opportunity to design their own war machines, remotely pilot them, and make it a game. The game is called Operation Bounce House . . . And New Sonora is its playing field. Determined to defend the only home he’s ever known, Oliver and his friends find themselves fighting for their lives against these machines. To earth its a game, but to Oliver, it's war. *** Praise for Operation Bounce House *** "Irreverent yet heartfelt, nostalgic yet wholly original, with Operation Bounce House, Dinniman delivers another anarchic adventure rich with riotous characters and a plot that crackles towards chaos with all the alacrity of a dynamite fuse." Pierce Brown, bestselling author of Red Rising "Fast-paced, clever, and with plenty of heart—the rare book that's both thoughtful and tremendously entertaining." James Islington, International bestselling author of The Will of the Many "Creative and well-written as ever, Operation Bounce House reminds me how much storytelling a great writer can pack into a single volume." Will Wight, bestelling author of The Cradle Series "An all-hands-on-deck sci-fi war novel that pits the peasants against the plutocracy, pitchforks against spaceships, rock ’n’ roll against oppression, and love against greed… you’re gonna love every bloody page of it." Philip Fracassi, author of The Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre

Efter otaliga prövningar i Dungeon Crawler World – galaxens mest populära och brutala underhållningsprogram – har kustbevakningsveteranen Carl och hans exflickväns katt, Prinsessan Donut, lärt sig en sak: det enda de säkert vet är att de aldrig vet vad som väntar runt nästa hörn. Uppdraget låter enkelt. Fyra slott. Femton dagar. Erövra slotten och vägen vidare öppnas. Men ingenting är någonsin enkelt i Dungeon Crawler World. För att överleva måste Carl och hans team samarbeta med de andra crawlers som är instängda tillsammans med dem – en samling hopplösa deltagare som, mot alla odds, fortfarande verkar vara vid liv. Men går de att lita på? Samtidigt blir det allt tydligare att nyckeln till att ta sig vidare kan finnas där ingen väntar sig den. Välkomna, crawlers. Välkomna till den femte nivån. Dungeon Crawler Carl är den fjärde delen i Matt Dinnimans fenomenala serie, som har toppat bästsäljarlistor världen över.

Carl och Prinsessan Donut har överlevt längre än de flesta i Dungeon Crawler World – galaxens mest populära och brutala underhållningsprogram. Men ingenting har kunnat förbereda dem på den fjärde nivån. The Iron Tangle är ett vansinnigt virrvarr av tåg, tunnlar och stationer där naturlagarna verkar ha gett upp. Här kan upp vara ner, avstånd sakna betydelse och utgången ständigt ligga precis utom räckhåll. Mellan ånglok, pendeltåg och höghastighetståg lurar monster i vagnarna, medan stationerna döljer fler hemligheter än svar. Carl och Donut har dessutom tagit sig in på topp tio-listan. Det gör dem till publikfavoriter – men också till måltavlor. Båda har fått pris på sina huvuden, och för att ta sig vidare måste de samarbeta med andra crawlers. Problemet är bara att ingen vet vem som går att lita på. Samtidigt verkar nyckeln till att lösa The Iron Tangles dödliga gåta vara gömd i en bok som vid första anblicken framstår som fullständigt betydelselös. Välkomna, crawlers. Välkomna till den fjärde nivån. The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook är tredje delen i Matt Dinnimans fenomenserie som toppar bästsäljarlistorna världen över.

Äntligen på svenska! Carl’s Doomsday Scenario är andra delen i Matt Dinnimans fenomenserie som toppar bästsäljarlistorna världen över. ”Välkomna, Crawlers! Träningsnivåerna är avklarade. Nu kan spelen börja på riktigt.” Utomjordingarna har anlänt – och de har förvandlat jorden till en dungeon i många nivåer. Det är dags för en ny säsong av galaxens mest sedda gameshow: Dungeon Crawler World. Carl och Donut har redan bevisat att en före detta kustbevakare och en tidigare kattkunglighet är ett nästintill oslagbart team. Nu, på tredje nivån, tvingas de slåss hårdare än någonsin i en storstad ödelagd av en gåtfull katastrof. Odöda stryker omkring bland ruinerna. Mördade kvinnor regnar från himlen. Och en uråldrig besvärjelse hotar dem alla. Kan Carl och Donut lösa mysteriet i tid? Och kan Carl till sist hitta ett par byxor?

Äntligen på svenska! Dungeon Crawler Carl är första delen i Matt Dinnimans fenomenserie som toppar bästsäljarlistorna världen över. ”Välkommen, Crawler. Att överleva är valfritt. Att underhålla publiken är det inte.” En man. Hans ex-flickväns prisbelönta utställningskatt. En sadistisk intergalaktisk gameshow där din överlevnad hänger på att du kan döda ditt byte på ett så underhållande sätt som möjligt. Följ före detta kustbevakaren Carl och katten Princess Donut när de försöker överleva jordens undergång – eller åtminstone ta sig vidare till nästa nivå – i en fantasydungeon full av fällor. En dungeon som i själva verket är inramningen till en realityserie med otaliga tittare runt om i galaxen. Exploderande troll. Magiska brygder. Dödligt farliga, knarklangande lamor. Det här är inget vanligt TV-program.

Earth has been transformed into the set of the galaxy's most watched game show: Dungeon Crawler World, a nightmarish, multilevel, video game-like dungeon filled with traps, monsters, and mind-bending puzzles. Carl and Donut have survived so far, but this fourth level is unlike anything they could imagine. The Iron Tangle: an impossibly complicated subway system tied together into a knot of trains of all kinds, from classic steam engines to sleek modern cars. Up is down. Down is up. Close is far. The cars are filled with monsters, the railway stations aren't always what they seem, and the exit is perpetually just a few stops away. The top ten list is populated, and Carl and Donut have made it. But that popularity comes with a price. They each now have a bounty on their head. They must work with other crawlers to solve the puzzle of the floor, but how can they do that when they don't know who to trust? The secret to unraveling it all may be hidden in the pages of a seemingly useless book. Welcome, Crawlers. Welcome to the fourth floor of the dungeon.
