Dungeon Crawler Carl (2020) by Matt Dinniman (Club moving to Facebook!)

Hello all. At our last meeting, we agreed that the Hampton Roads Science Fiction Book Club will be moving to Facebook, now to be organized by our good friend Chris (alias Bucking Bronco.)

You can join us on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1KPhP699jR/

This will be the last meeting we list on Meetup, but the group will continue over there.

Here's a synopsis of the book for our last Meetup event (but not the last of the book club):

The apocalypse will be televised!
You know what’s worse than breaking up with your girlfriend? Being stuck with her prize-winning show cat. And you know what’s worse than that? An alien invasion, the destruction of all man-made structures on Earth, and the systematic exploitation of all the survivors for a sadistic intergalactic game show. That’s what.

Join Coast Guard vet Carl and his ex-girlfriend’s cat, Princess Donut, as they try to survive the end of the world—or just get to the next level—in a video game–like, trap-filled fantasy dungeon. A dungeon that’s actually the set of a reality television show with countless viewers across the galaxy. Exploding goblins. Magical potions. Deadly, drug-dealing llamas. This ain’t your ordinary game show.

Welcome, Crawler. Welcome to the Dungeon. Survival is optional. Keeping the viewers entertained is not.
