with other contestants not just to survive but to solve a deadly puzzle in this third
mind-twisting novel in the New York Times bestselling Dungeon Crawler Carl series—now with
bonus material exclusive to this print edition. 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.
Includes part three of the exclusive bonus story “Backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret.”
