Shabin

The Reluctant Prince of Rhime

By: Andrew Heister

Narrated by: Caius Ashburn

On a distant planet, a scientist embarks on a project to splice human and alien DNA, in his quest to extend human life. However, in the process, he creates a human hybrid with an unusual mental power. Centuries later, the experiment has allowed the descendants of his creation to use the Mirre–an ability offering those who possess it to access projections of live people within a dreamscape who, once in this realm, are easily manipulated.

As the young heir to the Shabin family’s lucrative empire, Jason’s artificially-given ability provides him and his family with wealth, influence, and seemingly unstoppable power. But when he witnesses his unstable father murder his beloved uncle, he is forced to abandon his home, privilege, and protection. Jason embarks on a galaxy-wide journey to freedom, only to find himself followed by those who seek to hunt him for his unique abilities. And if they do find him–the fate of the galaxy is at stake.

Light hearted with a fun ending twist

It did seem a little fast paced not that it hurt the story but it could have easily been longer to build more character relationships and develop the mere I think it spelled a little more. I enjoyed that the tech wasn’t badly explained it just was what it was so you didn’t find inconsistencies and such. Overall I enjoyed it , it’s more story than science and that’s perfectly fine with me.
