Publisher's summary

From Anne McCaffrey comes a collection of captivating short stories that focuses on everything from spaceship adventure and shifting time-storms to ghosts and romance. The title story, set in the world of the Dragonriders of Pern series, tells of Aramina, a teenage girl who hears dragons and is relentlessly pursued for her ability. Aramina's mother fears losing her daughter completely to the life of a dragonrider, but McCaffrey has another fate in mind for her young heroine.

Other novellas included are Duty Calls—an exciting tale in the Ship Who Sang series—and A Quiet One, where large animals have had to make way for an expanding human population.

3 short stories. 1 of Pern

The first short story is about Aramina, the girl who heard dragons, and her point of view encounter with Thela.

Confusing

I'm not sure why, but two unrelated short space stories were tacked on. Was Aramina's story actually completed or was there more but those two stories accidentally added in its place?

Too Short

There are three stories in this book . I completely enjoyed the stories . I felt they were too short . The stories were good and the performance was also . The problem is that just as you get into the story it's over . I would very much like to hear each of them fleshed out and expanded upon .
