Summary

These are the first five episodes of Anne McCaffrey's fascinating saga of Pern — in which listeners learn about the earliest days of Pernese history. Beginning with the very first ever Dragonriders of Pern adventure, join the original survey team as they explore Pern and recommend it for colonization. Share the terror of the evacuation from the Southern Continent as a flotilla of ships — aided by intelligent, talking dolphins — braves the currents of the Pernese ocean. Learn how the famous Ruatha Hold was founded. Thrill with the dragonriders as they expand into a second, then a third Weyr. And discover a secret lost in time — the rescue of some of the original colonists before the planet was cut off forever.

Love these books!

The planet Pern books are my favourites from way back, I read the paperbacks until they fell apart this book covers some of the mysteries from earlier books and builds on them well!

Abridged too far, just a skimming of each book

these books were cut to the bone to give a summery of the stories sadly.
Although good clear reader
