Flight of the Gazebo: An Epic Fantasy SciFi Adventure (Hollow Book 1) Kindle Edition

It isn’t easy when you find yourself lost and alone in a strange place.

It’s even trickier when that place is a different world, and you have no idea how you got there.

Drome’s top priority isn’t to figure that out. It’s to avoid getting himself killed. But his talent for making enemies as he flees the villainous courtiers who took him hostage, really isn’t helping.

He’s in an unfamiliar city, in a bizarre hollow world, and he only has one friend. Well, that’s if he can call a snarky living skeleton with a penchant for stealing royal jewels a friend.

What with every palace guard and a crazed assassin after the pair, the odds are stacked against them.

Running out of time, luck, and options, it’s touch-and-go whether they’ll make it to Drome’s village and warn them of the horror coming their way.

And then there’s the wizard. If only Drome hadn’t angered him too…

So, is Drome in trouble?

Yup. He’s screwed.

If you like Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, and Joe Abercrombie, you won't be able to put down the addictive Hollow series.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Kent Silverhill grew up with his nose buried in books and is now a full-time writer. Before that, he worked as a waiter, an industrial engineer and a web developer.

He currently has six published books under his belt: four in the Hollow humorous fantasy series ("Flight of the Gazebo", "Dangerous Ideals" and "A Taste of Steel" plus the prequel "The Persistence of Poison"), and two in the Chronicles of Wydoria series (Daphne Mayne and the Goblin Quest, Daphne Mayne and the Hounds of Magic). In the works are a fifth book (The Unfumbling) in the Hollow series and a third book (Daphne Mayne and the Phantom Queen) in the Chronicles of Wydoria series.

In his spare time, Kent enjoys drawing, cartooning, walking and reading (but not at the same time).

He is married, lives in Cape Town and has two cats that do not share his view of who's in charge.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it - truly a flight of the imagination!

I thoroughly enjoyed Flight of the Gazebo and am impatiently looking forward to reading the second book. The book is well-written and the fast-paced story-line kept me reading late into the night! I liked the twists and turns - including some very unexpected surprises - and thought the characterizations were well done. The story is a flight of the imagination that created vivid images in my mind, even the talking skeleton came to life!.
I hope Kent Silverhill keeps up the good work and doesn't stop with the second book, he has a rare talent as a writer.

The author has continued to weave a fantastic narrative with aliens and humans striving against each other and in some situations to understand each other. A spellbinding tale of intrigue and adventure or misadventure in some cases.

I received a no cost copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving this review.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 19, 2017

In Flight of the Gazebo, I was fascinated by the double-dealing and manipulations of the villagers who are working out how to deal with their crisis. There are mysteries to be solved: Where are they? How did the village get there? Who is murdering people in the village? There are obstacles to overcome: Who will lead the villagers? How are they going to stop themselves starving to death? Where are they going to get water from? The author handles all these with understated humour.

The reactions of the villagers are complex and unexpected. A mixture of personalities with conflicting aims guarantees an explosive mix and Silverhill sends us on an entertaining journey through it all.

As for Drome, the hapless anti-hero who was abducted shortly after arriving in Hollow, I thoroughly enjoyed his adventures as he bumbled from duels with ferocious kynbar, interrogation by his captors and escaping from his cell hotly pursued by guards. Silverhill paints a colourful picture of Hollow as Drome and his fellow escapee, a living skeleton, careen through sewers, steal a ship and fall foul of psychotic pirates.

The villains are eccentric, the heroes are quirky and everyone has shortcomings. A very entertaining read.

Flight of the Gazebo ends in a cliff hanger. As I enjoyed this book so much and couldn't wait to find out what happens next I dived into hte second book as soon as it came out.

A gazebo. A village. A land called Hollow.
This book is bizarre, kooky, funny and a bit weird.
It does seem like the type of things that a bunch of villagers would do if transported to another world, going by the villages I've lived in!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent fantasy adventure
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 26, 2017

Fantastic! The book is a perfectly original fantasy idea with the ideal balance of far-fetched exciting ideas, but written in a way that's surprisingly believable and relatable.

There's a constant flow of excitement and multiple story lines to be entertained at all times and a raft of emotive characters.

The level of depth makes it no surprise it's spread over two books. Very much looking forward to the next one

Contrived plot, clunky story with little character development. Not really for me.
