Publisher's summary

"Another Turn, and the deadly silver Threads began falling again. So the bold dragonriders took to the air once more, and their magnificent flying dragons swirled and swooped, belching flames that destroyed the shimmering strands before they reach the ground.

"But F'lar knew he had to find a better way to protect his beloved Pern, and he had to find it before the rebellious Oldtimers could breed anymore dissent....before his brother F'nor would be foolhardy enough to launch another suicide mission...and before those dratted fire-lizards could stir up any more trouble!"

Book another flight with the Dragonriders of Pern.

good

I am really liking this narrator. The book a good. Not great. I love Pern and I think the writer does a good job making you have feelings towards the characters. There is a lot of discussions that I found myself daydreaming instead of listening. But I'm glad I listened. I will take a break from the story and read something else next.

The Best

Read this 3 part series of the Pern books many years ago and loved it. Always recommended these volumes. I still cried over the heart breaking passings and the joy of young Jaxom finding his Ruth.

Excellent Science Fiction is always a Good Listen

I first read this and other stories an age ago. it's been wonderful to sit back and have them read at my leisure.

Love Pern

Where does Dragonquest: Dragonriders of Pern rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

got to be number 1

What other book might you compare Dragonquest: Dragonriders of Pern to and why?

the Pern series, the Tower and the Hive series, the Brainship series. All wonderful reads

Have you listened to any of Dick Hill’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

yes and he does a marvelous job on all of them

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It actually took me to Pern and I lived the book as with so many of her writings

Any additional comments?

She will be sorely missed and I have been reading and listening to all of her books. If you need to leave Earth for a while, I highly recommend the entire series
