Summary
The second Dragonriders of Pern novel from New York Times best seller Anne McCaffrey.
The Weyrs are full again, with old and new riders taking to the skies to fight Thread once again. But all is not well across Pern - the Oldtimers are struggling to adapt to the changes their centuries-long absence has brought and F'Lar and Lessa must carefully balance their conservative ways against those of their allies in the Crafts and Halls.
As new technology makes the Red Star appear closer than ever, F'Lar's brother F'Nor starts to look for ways to rid Pern of Thread once and for all...but at what risk?

As good as ever
I started reading the Pern books in the early 1980's as a teenager
This brilliantly read audio version took me straight back to my own teenage years and to the fantastic realms of Anne Mccaffrey's imagination.
So good to meet up with all my old Pernese friends again and realise that the books are just as good as I remember!
Off to download The White Dragon and follow the story of Jaxom and Ruth

DRAGON OF PERN
Enjoyed the story couldn't put it down . I read the series years ago and loved them hut due to failing eyesight I was unable to read them again but thanks to audio books I'm able to enjoy the books again. The narrator reads the story well voicing the parts making it interesting

Good story
I enjoyed the story in audiobook form. I had read the novels many years ago but it was nice to get reacquainted with the goings on on Pern once more.
I’m not convinced a female narrator was best for this particular novel, but she read it well.

Happy
Lovely to hear one of my favourite series of books from my youth, especially as I can no longer read. I liked this narrator, I hope the others are also easy listening

such an easy listen
this has been an old favourite of mine and I admit that I was apprehensive about the audio version. No worries. it's an absolute gem and I have bought the previous audio book in the series also narrated by Sophie Alfred. Well done!

Love and McCaffrey’s books
I read these years ago, but I’ve enjoyed listening to them even more. I just wish that all the books were available on Audible.

A classic, impeded by the performance
I'm a long-time fan of the Pern novels, but alas not of Sophie Aldred's reading. The characters lack weight and lines of dialogue often feel like they lose meaning. Everyone seems much younger than they should! I've noticed it with other books she reads - I think she'd be wonderful as a children's reader but I'm finding this a struggle. Others disagree, which is great. But I'm looking forward to the change of reader with the next in the series.
