An industrious gnome. A human-raised orc. A halfling mafia boss looking to sell protection.
Please note that these are not kids books! They contain adult themes, adult humor, and mild adult language.

Gappy Whirligig is an industrious gnome who has yet to reach the Age of Tinkering.

He's 42.

All he wants to do is build a flying contraption. Unfortunately, building such a device requires a fuel source that may make him explode, and the gnome town of Hubintegler has strict rules against inhabitants blowing themselves up prior to the age of 50.

But when Gappy finds himself suddenly alone in the world, he decides to leave Hubintegler's rules and regulations behind as he seeks to make his mark in the seedy city of Planoontik.

Now, he must find a place to set up shop, manage governmental bureaucracy, use the Rent-A-Friend service, and wrestle with the local halfling mafia (known as the Halfia) as they incessantly try to destroy his business.

On top of that, Gappy ends up hiring an oversized orc who has a fierce appetite for pizza, and that ain't cheap.

Even worse, Gappy has fallen for a beautiful—but ruthless—owner of a competing engineering firm, and she has a strong reputation for crushing her competitors...

If you love Terry Pratchett, Robert Asprin, Piers Anthony, Discworld, Xanth, Myth Adventures, and/or Monty Python, you'll have a blast with the land of Ononokin.

~~~~~

The land of Ononokin has brought laughs to thousands of fantasy comedy fans. Here's what Amazon readers are saying:
★★★★★ ‘This is a delightful universe, with a weary but feisty old wizard, his nemesis who is a former student, unexpectedly topsy-turvy characters, and wildly imaginative sources of magical power! Yes, an adult fairy tale alright, with hints of nightly activities that we wouldn't want to explain to children. ;)’

★★★★★ ‘Great book and a hilarious read. I couldn't put it down and loved the characters. It is a must read for any fantasy reader out there.’

★★★★★ ‘I'm a sucker for kind heroes and imaginative worlds. This has it in spades.’

★★★★★ ‘I have read Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, and A. Lee Martinez and I would rank this among those books. I laughed so hard a few times people around me asked what the book was about and enjoyed the book as much as I did after reading it. I highly recommend purchasing this book!'

★★★★★ ‘This truly inspired fantasy creation of sheer genius left me awestruck, for it was unexpectedly exceptional and just brilliant.’

Fantastic!

Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2015

Gappy's Gadgets is pure laugh-out-loud fun! The characters are unique and engaging. The plot is fast-paced and entertaining. And the comedy is hilarious. I couldn't put it down -- I finished the book in one sitting. (As a caution to other readers, I must warn you that if you stay up till 3:00am reading this book as I did, you may find yourself kicked out of the bedroom by a sleepy spouse who does not understand what could possibly be so funny in the middle of the night. Rest assured, this book is worth annoying your spouse over -- it's that funny).

I loved the way Logson and Young created such laughable, lovable, relatable characters -- even their villains. I also loved the way they combined the absurd with the mundane to create humor. These two talented writers definitely know how to delight readers.

I hope that Logson and Young plan to write more Ononokin books (4 is not enough!) because I will be eagerly waiting to read them. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I highly recommend it.

I was a little late to the party in discovering John Logsdon's work but I'm terribly glad I did come across it. This particular book, Gappy's Gadgets, continues the stories found in the world known as Ononokin. Like Terry Pratchett's Discworld, the characters vary from book to book, though there is plenty of overlap to make it feel like a cohesive whole. I won't provide any synopsis of the book since those are already available. I'll say, though, that the characters are funny and their personalities grow on you quickly. Mr. Logsdon has created a world that has room to grow in all directions and leaves much room for further expansion of Ononokin's world. Please give these a try; you won't regret it!

An enjoyable ride through a rather strange yet familiar world

Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2015

Disclaimer: I was given a draft copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed it enough that I bought the released version just to see how things changed. I am a geek who likes those sorts of things.

This is a fun book and a joy to read. Great character development. Several laugh-out-loud moments and plenty of giggles. My only complaint is that I had a pretty good idea of what was going to happen early on in the book, and that kept away the tension I like to feel when a character I love is in danger. Of course (*spoiler alert*) the hero will win and the villain will lose, but I want to have just a few moments of doubt. That lowered my rating from 5 stars to 4.

Overall, the fantasy world is well developed, and there were many times where I was introduced to a new character and thought "I have met this person" even though the character might be an orc or a troll.

This book (and series) is a great read when you are looking for something unique. To say that the characters are quirky would be an understatement! It's great though, because their oddities are heartwarming and I promise you will have several "that's so me" moments as you follow these guys on their adventure. One of the best things about these books (and especially about this one) is that you cannot have preconcieved notions about others. These characters (like those of us here on Earth), have far more to them than meets the eye.

And while the storyline or ending may seem a little predictable, the journey getting there still manages to captivate you. All in all this is another enjoyable read from Logsdon and Young. If you want a book you can pick up and immerse yourself in (adult) silliness and fun, then this folks is it!

Kindle Unlimited, Book #4 of 5

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2017

Verified Purchase

Kindle Unlimited, has the first 4 books, #1 Quest of Undoing #2 The Full Moon Event #3 Bob the Zombie #4 Gappy's Gadgets {the other not included is #5 The Kidnapped Prince which is not available on kindle unlimited at least not yet}. There are actually 2 writers, both with multiple, strange personalities. Worth the read, so much so that I have the 4 books separate but it's easier on the kindle app to read straight through, so that's how I went thru them again.

The Fate Quest (Tales From the Land of Ononokin .5) is available only through Logson's site, please note that is point 5 as in 1/2 not #5.

An all around good read! Each book is better than the last!

This is the fourth of a series set in a fantastical world with characters that include wizards, dwarfs, gnomes, vampires, fairies, ogres, and more. Surprisingly, they are developed, complex characters and not just stereotypes. I quickly came to care about them and what happened to them. Well-written, well-edited, an all around good read. Each book is better than the last! I'm on the street team for this author, so I got this book free.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed the book so much I then also bought a copy.

My only complaint about this book is the amount of sleep I lost reading it.

Fun read.
I got pissed at some characters for the way they were treating others.
I got happy when some characters did what they did.
Yes, you invest in the characters.
No, you don't need to have read the other books in this world to enjoy this book.

Well worth it.

Not up to potential

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2018

Sadly book four was not up to the level of the first three. It felt rushed and not as detailed as previous stories. Another chapter or two could easily have been done with the ending scene. It felt very anticlimactic. Having two chapters of the next story add filter was just cheap.

Ononokin is a great series with stand alone stories.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 27, 2016

Second time of reading and it was just as enjoyable as the first. Gappy Gadgets has rapidly become one of my favourite books. It's the story of a Gnome who feels he has reached the age of tinkering early. Is 42 old enough to begin tinkering on your own? Not according to the Gnome community. Afterall it goes against all the rules but Gappy Whirling, a young Gnome, sets out for pastures greener meeting an Orc called Shrit Bagg! And having a very eventful life thereafter. A great adventure for the young at heart (or the young I suppose?). I am very much looking forward to the next book in this series. The character's are well thought out and as I read these books I can almost see it all happening in my minds eye as the descriptions are great. I hope the tales of Ononokin will continue for years to come. It's a world I really want to explore. Great series.

Land with Gnomes, Wizards and all sorts of supernatural races that will make you laugh

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 9, 2016

I'm so pleased I found the books about the land of Ononokin, with Gappy's Gadgets as the fourth of 4 already released, and luckily there are more on their way so this series is still growing :-)

Gappy Whirligig the Gnome, who is considered to be getting ahead of himself, is the main character but all characters are fun in their own right and the writing is so easy to read and great for relaxing after a tough day or week.

If you fancy a story about a land with Gnomes, Wizards and all sorts of supernatural races that will make you laugh then give this book a go. I have personally recommended to friends and members of my family who have loved it too :-)

Another winner from a great author!

Yet another great book in the Ononokin Series. The author makes you really feel for the characters, while at the same time keeping the sense of hope and wonder going and giving you some good laughs as well. I love the way he shows the Gnomes as being extremely technically smart, but not having much common sense... I know quite a few people like that!

I couldn't put this book down, and my giggling has now made my wife start reading John P. Logsdon's books.

Overall I can easily and whole-heartedly recommend any of John P. Logsdon's books if you like fantasy or sci-fi and enjoy some humour.

More great characters and brilliant ideas

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 2, 2015

This is the second book I’ve read from the Onononkin series and have enjoyed it immensely. I read book 1 - A Quest of Undoing a few weeks ago and although 4th in the series, there is no problem in reading them out of order as they stand perfectly well as stories on their own - Think of Frank L Baum’s ‘Oz’ books or Terry Pratchett’s ‘Discworld’ series!

This book, as with others by the same authors, hook you in from the first sentence and although he plot jogs happily (keeping those pages turning at 2am) the strength for me lies in the personalities of the characters and the entertaining dialogue and interactions between them all. Nothing feels like its forced and you get a sense that these are real ‘people’…. or ‘Ogres’ or ‘Gnomes’, making their own autonomous decisions. There were a couple of times in the book I thought that the story might go off in a formulaic way, but it was refreshing that the characters didn’t allow that to happen. The writing is dialogue-rich and unrelentingly funny. Sometimes you laugh out loud, generally you find yourself smiling and chuckling quietly or suppressing a laugh if you’re in public!

Aside from enjoying a believable other world and ‘real’ characters, I really enjoyed the original ideas and concepts that pepper the story. Reminds me very much of Douglas Adams - the sort of original ideas that only come about after spending the afternoon in the bath.

These books are intended for an adult audience as there is are a couple of mild grown-up references in there such as a character ’sleeping around’ type of thing. For me, although they do add a little to the colour of the story, I think if these mild references were left out, these books might be suitable for a sophisticated younger audience too. Mind you I can’t let my daughter watch all of Monty Python’s work yet either!

I would highly recommend Gappy's Gadgets and all the other books by John P. Logsdon and Christopher P. Young. They are great world creators and this book is a great place to start if you are new to their work. A++++++++

Another fabulous instalment of The Tales from the Land of Ononokin

Another fabulous instalment from the Tales from the Land of Ononokin. Great characters and plot. A story of the underdog's fight against the establishment, and the bad guys. If you like a drop of humour in your fantasy, you won't go wrong with this, and the other books in the series. All the books are stand alone stories, but you will get more out of them if you read them in the order they were written.
