Synopsis

Guardians of the Galaxy meets TheHobbit in this rollicking fantasy adventure series.

The Dragons who once ruled over the land are dead.
The motley crew that stumbled through that revolution are rich and praised as saviors.

Everyone gets to live happily ever after, right?
Right?

Well, it might have worked out that way if the dragons in Kondorra had been the only ones. If they hadn't been just the tip of the spear about to fall upon the whole world. . .

Goodreads review by kartik on August 21, 2018

Fool's Gold is an excellent mash of fantasy and humour. This book grips you by the throat right from the start with its humour, and never lets go. There are few rough edges though. I found some of the humour to be forced in the first third of the book. And some of the scatological references get old......more

Goodreads review by Nicholas on October 08, 2016

I can only imagine the day Jon Hollins (a pseudonym for Jonathan Wood) devised the plot for Fool’s Gold.

"Balur," Lette said sweetly, "if I thought they were large enough, I would cut off your testicles to use as worry balls.” Balur nodded. "It is being your weird mannish hands. They make even the largest things look small." Seeing as I trust Nicholas Eames more than I trust members of my own family, I de......more

Quotes

"Madcap, dark, and bloody... Fans of humorous fantasy will enjoy the outrageous yet cunning plot twists of this comedy with an edge sharp enough to cut dragon scales."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Humorous and profane, False Idols tackles the dynamics of power and corruption from uniquely unglamorous angles as the core group of characters struggles to remove humanity from the grip of all masters, whether monstrous or divine."—Booklist

"Ideal for fans of humorous capers and heist stories - such as Ocean's 11, Scott Lynch's Gentleman Bastard Sequence series, and Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan Saga."—Booklist on The Dragon Lords: Fool's Gold

"Hollins ladles on the humor while hardly skimping on the action, the unexpected plot swerves, or the glorious feels."—B&N on The Dragon Lords: Fool's Gold

"Hollins's seat-of-the-pants fantasy comedy snowballs wildly into a glorious disaster of fire, magic, multiple threats to people's intestines, and fun -- for the reader, if not the characters."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The Dragon Lords: Fool's Gold

"Jon Hollins is a one of kind storyteller, a master of epic fun and nonstop action. Alas, since we both write humor-infused epic fantasy, this makes us natural enemies. Watch your back, Jon."—Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld

"A chain mail-clad, sword-swinging heist caper brimming with blood, thunder, humor and heart."—p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Calibri; -webkit-text-stroke: #000000}span.s1 {font-kerning: none}Dale Lucas on The Dragon Lords: Fool's Gold
