Then, some of the colonists noticed that the small, dragon-like lizards that inhabited their new world were joining the fight against Thread, breathing fire on it and teleporting to safety. If only, they thought, the dragonets were big enough for a human to ride and intelligent enough to work as a team with a rider...
And so they set their most talented geneticist to work to create the creatures Pern so desperately needed - Dragons!

There is no feeling quite like falling in love with a great fantasy listen, doing a little digging, and joyfully discovering that the author has an extensive catalog of audiobooks for you to dive right into. Fantasy as a genre is particularly blessed with a wealth of diverse authors writing all different kinds of stories. From classic epics to standalone novels that were published in the last few years, it's the perfect genre for losing yourself in a full day’s worth of listening. These brilliant fantasy authors will transport you to another world—whether a parallel universe or a post-apocalyptic version of Earth.

Absolutely wonderful!

As far as the story goes, I love this one. Personally, I agree with and recommend Anne McCaffrey's suggestion of reading the Pern series in publication order. If you do that, this story is a prequel. You come across names that are familiar and it's fun to see where they came from; you realize the origins of some of the traditions and practices you already know. This book explains a lot of the beginnings of things; personally, I enjoy it more because it's backstory on people and places we already love.
Anyway, if you're new to Pern, I say don't start here, start with Dragonflight. But once you get to this story, Dick Hill's reading is a wonderful way to experience this well-written blend of space colonization story, fantasy adventure, and the origin story for some of the most beloved dragons of all time.

I read most of the Drangonriders of Pern books many years ago and decided to revisit. This time chronologically. I really enjoyed reading the very beginning of dragon kind and Pern's inhabitants, especially knowing how it evolved later on.
It was a great plot hole filler for the series. Many times, I would think, "Oh, that's why!" for various questions I may not have even known I had, from the series. Names of Holds, for example.
However, had this been my very first dragonrider book, I may have been a little bored in the beginning, even though the ending left me wanting more!
A wonderful prequel to the series.
