About this listen

Forsake the real life. Embrace the fantasy.

The Song of the Prophet has long foretold that an apocalypse of storms, pestilence, and war would tear the land of Rhye asunder. The path to salvation is obscure. Hope seems to lie in a mysterious savior, somewhere beyond the Seventh Sea.

For friends Mustapha, Harold, Meadow, and Dique, a moment of mischief leads to the greatest adventure of their lives. A simple heist turned sour hurls them into a monumental journey, culminating at the heart of Rhye’s crisis. Along the way, all the existential questions are asked: Can true love heal the gravest ill? Will the gods of old hear a solemn plea? Most importantly, can pixies survive without cheese or drowseberry wine?

The King of Rhye is part fairy tale, part dark fantasy, part whimsy and all heart, as the glorious legacy of rock band Queen is realised in a full-blown literary adventure for the ages.

Adventure , Excitement , Tears and Hope

This book is a spectacular marriage of complex characters, an adventure story of love and the future and saving the world, and tears plus anger - many emotions when bad things happen to characters you learn to love and emotions / excitement when good things suddenly happen as well.
Adventure, fairy tale, ancient lore, love and loss and fear and philosophy and life lessons and horrific battle scenes as well as heartstring- tearing scenes and amazing imagery!.
And great writing! ( this guy is an oncologist? His first work of fiction? And Im a picky reader!)
Plus- the connections to Queen - mostly Freddie Mercury- and the music of Queen and Smile- from which come chapter titles, characters, plot lines, names, sudden subtle foreshadowing references...... are spectacular.
I first read the hard copy last year - and just now finished the Audible.
The reader brought to life everything from frightening battle scenes to sad or happy scenes of love.
The imagery is incredibly well done; the plot complex and exciting, the characters well drawn and real even if often decidedly not human, and the book is full of life lessons and ends in hope for the future.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
