The White Dragon

Dragonriders of Pern, Book 3

By: Anne McCaffrey

Narrated by: Dick Hill

Never had there been as close a bonding as the one that existed between the daring and adventurous young Lord Jaxom and his extraordinary white dragon, Ruth. Pure white and incredibly agile, Ruth was a dragon of many talents, though almost everyone on Pern thought he was a runt that would never amount to anything.

But Jaxom knew better, knew he could teach his dragon to fly and to destroy the deadly silver Threads that fell from the sky. Disobeying all rules, Jaxom and Ruth trained in secret. Their illicit flights seemed but a minor disobedience - until they found themselves in the path of danger and in a position to prevent the biggest disaster of all.

loved it.

cannot wait to start the next book, but I don't think it possible to top a story about the white dragon

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.

good finish the the first part.of.this series

first McCaffrey book I ever read and still rereading it years later can't say enough good things about it

Never gets old!

I read this set of books about every 10 years or so. This is the 4th time I have read or listened to this series’s in the last 40 Year’s.

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.
