Publisher's Summary
The third Dragonriders of Pern novel from the New York Times best seller Anne McCaffrey.
There has never been a dragon quite like Ruth - he's small, agile, able to communicate with fire lizards and has an uncanny ability to know exactly when he is. His bond with the young Lord Holder Jaxom is uniquely strong thanks to their unlikely connection and the fact that nearly everybody else on Pern thought the diminutive dragon wouldn't survive to adulthood. With Jaxom set to inherit control of his Hold, the pair is banned from fighting Thread, their flying time strictly limited at the insistence of the Weyrleaders and Lord Holders.
Stuck halfway between the Holds and Weyrs, Jaxom and Ruth decide to train in secret, learning how to fight Thread and how to fly through time. Their illicit flights seem like a small rebellion against the expectations of their elders, until they find themselves in the path of danger and in a position to prevent the biggest disaster of all....

My favourite Pern story.
Good story that was read well, the only annoyance being the slight fluctuations in volume.

Love Ruth
I love this book, it's my favorite of all the Peen series.
some of the voices could have been more intelligent sounding but in all really enjoyable.

Maybe all time favourite
My all
Time favourite of sci-fi. A bit of everything. Heroes journey, mystery, intrigue, quirkiness, even a little space technology. Oh and a dash of time travel on the side.
Glorious.
Loved the book. Equally enjoyed the audiobook.

Wonderful performance
This reader really is fabulous. His different voicings for each character are so distinct and recognisable. I just lived his flexible and nuanced narration.
I have listened several times.

Loved it!
Having read this book before, I did struggle with the audio voices to begin with, but stick with it, as you get used to them it's really worth it!
