Publisher's summary

On a beautiful planet called Pern, an ancient way of life is about to come under attack from a myth that is all too real.

The sole survivor of a noble ruling family, Lessa is an outcast—a strong young woman who has never stopped dreaming of revenge for her murdered parents. Everything changes when she meets a queen dragon. The bond they share will be deep and last forever. It will protect them when, for the first time in centuries, Lessa's world is threatened by Thread, an evil substance that falls like rain and destroys everything it touches. Dragons and their Riders once protected the planet from Thread, but there are very few of them left these days. Now brave Lessa must risk her life, and the life of her beloved dragon, to save her beautiful world.

Faster than InBetween

Sadly, the narrator is too rushed to actually narrate the story let alone set the mood and tone. It’s unfortunate since this is such a great story and book series that it deserves a better narration to allow the listener to settle in and enjoy this awesome world.

The missing parts really bothered me

I've read this book many times and love it. The parts left out I found quite jarring. Many of the parts left out don't make any sense to me.

Love the storyline, but…

I’ve probably read this book a hundred times, and I love the series. But the performer typecast every one after the wicked witch of the west from “Oz”. At times, if I hadn’t known who was speaking, I would have been left in the dark. Would love to obtain the rest of the series, but will wait to see who will tell me a story instead of reading a book.

Great Story

This is one of my all-time favorite series. My main criticism is that I had to slow the narration down to .8 in order to enjoy it, otherwise it sounded as if Alvin of the Chipmunks was narrating - not a pleasant experience.

Love the story and the great build up to future stories

Loved the story, can’t wait to read the balance of the Pern books, some of which I have in Paperback and hard cover.

fast and abridged

The narrator spoke faster than was comfortable, she sounded rushed the entire time, like she had too much coffee or something. I read this book a long time ago, but even though it's been a while, the were sections and dialogue cut out, which really rubbed me the wrong way.

This is an abridged version

I don't like abridged books they don't make sense to me. I should have realized it by the time frame I didn't see anywhere that it was abridged

Bad performance

The worst performance ever. It was as if she couldn't wait to get thru it and be done with it. not a good reading at all.
