Publisher's Summary

The second Dragonriders of Pern novel from New York Times best seller Anne McCaffrey.

The Weyrs are full again, with old and new riders taking to the skies to fight Thread once again. But all is not well across Pern - the Oldtimers are struggling to adapt to the changes their centuries-long absence has brought and F'Lar and Lessa must carefully balance their conservative ways against those of their allies in the Crafts and Halls.

As new technology makes the Red Star appear closer than ever, F'Lar's brother F'Nor starts to look for ways to rid Pern of Thread once and for all...but at what risk?

Beautiful series about the Dragons of Pern

Having read all of Anne McCaffrey’s books on Pern many years ago, this was such a lovely way to rediscover how much I loved the dragon stories. The narrator Sophie Aldred has a gentle lyrical voice and her ability to change inflections for each character is skilfully done. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip back to Pern.

Dragon Quest.

Anne McCaffrey is one of the greatest author's the world has ever seen. From the moment you start one of her books, you will find it hard to put down and it is not only the Dragon riders of Pern that will catch you in it's world of delight, but also such wonderful book's as the Catteni sequence, the Tower and the hive, the Talent series or any of her books that have been written in callboration such as the Acorna series or the Powers that be. If you enjoy science fiction fantasy then you should take a look at this wonderful author's works. You can also find out in her collaboration, some more fantastic author's who have become some of my favourite authors, two of them are Margaret Ball and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough. So get a good drink, get comfortable and enjoy the greatest adventure you can have without leaving the comfit of your home.

Such a great series

I have read these books > 5 times and was initially hesitant to try the audio version. But I found the audio series very engaging.

Fantastic

I read this series so many years ago and they have always stayed with me, I love them. Hearing the first book was simply magical and magnificent, like the characters and dragons, can’t wait to listen to the rest. Would also like to be able to “hear” The Ship Who Sang”. Thank you Anne !!!
