Synopsis

These are the first five episodes of Anne McCaffrey's fascinating saga of Pern—in which listeners learn about the earliest days of Pernese history. Beginning with the very first ever Dragonriders of Pern adventure, join the original survey team as they explore Pern and recommend it for colonization. Share the terror of the evacuation from the Southern Continent as a flotilla of ships—aided by intelligent, talking dolphins—braves the currents of the Pernese ocean. Learn how the famous Ruatha Hold was founded. Thrill with the dragonriders as they expand into a second, then a third Weyr. And discover a secret lost in time—the rescue of some of the original colonists before the planet was cut off forever.

I am glad I had read the Dragonriders series and o......more

Goodreads review by Katie on September 06, 2015

I am not entirely sure how I got on this streak of nostalgic re-reads, but of course I had to re-read this after Dragonsdawn. As a kid, I loooooooved Torene/Mihall's story. I used to check this out from the library and re-read it all the time. (It didn't entirely hold up, I suppose. I think maybe I w......more
