Story4.5 out of 5 stars 114
To the nobles who live in Benden Weyr, Lessa is nothing but a ragged kitchen girl. For most of her life, she has survived by serving those who betrayed her father and took over his lands. Now the time has come for Lessa to shed her disguise and take back her stolen birthright. But everything changes when she meets a queen dragon. The bond they share will be deep and last forever. It will protect them when, for the first time in centuries, Lessa's world is threatened by Thread, an evil substance that falls like rain and destroys everything it touches.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 11
Killashandra Ree has spent ten grueling years in musical training, anticipating interstellar celebrity as a vocal soloist. She is young, beautiful—and still without prospects. After learning that a flaw in her voice will prevent her from singing lead, she hears of the mysterious Heptite Guild on the planet Ballybran, where the fabled Black Crystal is found. Mining this strange form of crystal is a dangerous occupation but to Killa, the risks are acceptable. Remarkably, her adaptation to crystal mining is unusually easy. The problem is—few people who land on Ballybran ever leave.

Sassinak was 12 when the raiders came. That made her just the right age: old enough to be used, young enough to be broken. Or so the slavers thought. But Sassy turned out to be a little different from your typical slave girl. Maybe it was her unusual physical strength. Maybe it was her friendship with the captured Fleet crewman. Maybe it was her spirit. Whatever it was, it wouldn’t let her resign herself to the life of a slave. She bided her time, watched for her moment. Finally it came, and she escaped. But that was only the beginning for Sassinak.

When Anne McCaffrey passed in November 2011, it was not only those closest to her who mourned her death; legions of readers also felt the loss deeply. The pioneering science fiction author behind the Dragonriders of Pern series crafted intricate stories, enthralling worlds, and strong heroines that profoundly impacted the science fiction community and genre.
In Dragonwriter, Anne’s son and Pern writer Todd McCaffrey collects memories and stories about the beloved author, along with insights into her writing and legacy, from those who knew her best.

The sole survivor of a noble ruling family, Lessa is an outcast—a strong young woman who has never stopped dreaming of revenge for her murdered parents. Everything changes when she meets a queen dragon. The bond they share will be deep and last forever. It will protect them when, for the first time in centuries, Lessa's world is threatened by Thread, an evil substance that falls like rain and destroys everything it touches. Dragons and their Riders once protected the planet from Thread, but there are very few of them. Now Lessa must risk her life, and her dragon, to save her world.

One of my Favorite Books
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
YES! why you ask?!? The Late Great Anne McCaffrey at her finest
What about Dick Hill’s performance did you like?
I'm not sure if it is a performance choice by Hill or the Director but many of the story parts where the dragons talk to their riders just don't quite seem right.

Dragon Fan
I am a devoted fan of Anne McCaffrey. Her dragons/riders are simply unequalled. The White Dragon is the third in the Dragonriders series and it exposes the reader to multiple facets of the lives of the Pernese people. You get a bit of weyrlife, holder life, harper life, craft life, you name it, and there's probably a mention of it in this book...Ms McCaffrey's dragons are the stuff of magic, even as an adult, I wish they were real...I've even thought of tattooing (I'm too chicken to actually do it, and know too many of the dangers/consequences) a fire lizard on my forearm...my entire family are fans. We love your work. Thank you for doing what you do so well.

Worth Repeating!
I read these books sometime ago and enjoyed them immensely! With Audible.com, I can hear a talented reader with a good voice read them to me while I do other things with my eyes and hands, like painting, counted thread embroidery, crochet or knitting etc, things from which I cannot necessarily look up to glance at the TV.

smacking lips. run away!
most of the time the narrator is fine. but anytimes a character is thinking he makes a smacking of lips or tongue sound. unpleasant after a few books of him doing the same thing.

One of the better Dragonrider books
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This is the third book in a trilogy, you do need the back-story to really get the most out of this book. If you have read or listened to the previous books, this is a definite must as a read/listen. Many Pern books after were good, but few seemed to have the feel of the original three, none after 2001, but Todd does a great job as well.
What did you like best about this story?
Unlike most trilogies, this set seems like a true single story, with the opening for the further books that later came into being. The characters and story behind this particular book was very interesting to me.

What a Fabulous listen!!
I’ve read all of Anne McCaffrey’s books, multiple times, but have now been listening to them as I crochet. Fortunately, so far, I haven’t run across any Pern stories that are abridged. Yay! for audiobooks!!
