Summary
The deadly silver spores called Thread fell like rain from the sky, and as human colonists' dreams of a new, idyllic life shattered into a desperate struggle for survival, the dolphins were forgotten.
Now, centuries later, as the dragonriders of Pern prepare to complete the momentus task of ridding their world of Thread forever, T'lion, a young bronze rider, and his friend Readis, son of the Lord Holder of Paradise River Hold, make contact with the legendary "shipfish." And as the dragonriders grapple with the end of an era, T'lion, Readis, and the dolphins face the start of a new one: reviving the bond between land- and ocean-dwellers - and resurrecting the dreams of the first colonists of Pern.

Yet another great installment of Pern
you can never beat a novel in pern, this time Dolphins take center stage but it no way does it pale in comparison to the dragons of pern novels but expands it. giving you more looks into the history if pern and how it was settled all those turns ago.

Dolphins are for everyone....
it has to be said that the Dolphins of Pern is one of my favorites within the Pern books, and I was not to be disappointed with this version. While the narrator was not what I expected I soon adjusted to his style and found it to be a good reading.

Another hit from Anne McCaffrey
Loved the story of the Pernese people re finding their connection with the dolphins and how they used to work together.
Not impressed with the narrators performance. His tone and speech was very flat and deadpan most of the time, leading me to feel bored with the story. I have read the books before audible came about so for me this meant I knew how good the book is, however if I was someone coming to the books new I would be considering returning it without listening all the way through.

Letdown by the narrator.
Personally I felt the story would have been better read by somebody less stilted and robotic sounding.

excellent but for major error
This is an excellent book, continuing the Pern series and linking in nicely with other later novels in the timeline. My biggest quibble however, and something to be very aware of is that it is not broken down into chapters on the file, it is just one long running book. This is maddening if you, like me. listen in the car or train and you need to continue where you left off.! If anyone does know how to break up the file into chunks which are searchable I would like to know!
Id would therefore highly recommend the book, just be aware of the foiballs!

Exceptional story
I am, unashamedly, a massive fan of the late, great Anne McCaffrey. Her "Pern" books are utterly entertaining & enthralling. I not only recommend this book, I urge you to listen.

Great book, terrible narrator
Love all the Pern stories, but the narrator is so bland - he speaks like a computer!
