Acerca de esta escucha
For more than 30 years, Pern has conjured visions of brave men and women mounted upon the backs of dragons. As anyone knows who has been touched by the storytelling magic of Anne McCaffrey, to hear of the exotic world of Pern is to inhabit it - and to experience its extraordinary dragons is to soar aloft with them and share their dazzling adventures.
Now, A Gift of Dragons brings together three beloved stories and a thrilling new tale of Pern in a single volume. In "The Smallest Dragonboy," Keevan is the youngest dragonrider candidate, determined to impress a dragon when the next clutch of eggs hatches. But what transpires will surprise everyone - Keevan most of all. In "The Girl Who Heard Dragons," a young girl's rare ability to communicate with dragons puts her family in danger and will bring her face to face with her greatest fears - and with her most secret desire. The "Runner of Pern" is a girl named Tenna, who follows family tradition by delivering messages - and who will find her destiny on the mossy traces that runners have used for centuries under the dragon-filled sky. And finally, a very special gift: an exciting new Pern adventure, published here for the first time, fresh from the imagination of Anne McCaffrey.

Sassinak was 12 when the raiders came. That made her just the right age: old enough to be used, young enough to be broken. Or so the slavers thought. But Sassy turned out to be a little different from your typical slave girl. Maybe it was her unusual physical strength. Maybe it was her friendship with the captured Fleet crewman. Maybe it was her spirit. Whatever it was, it wouldn’t let her resign herself to the life of a slave. She bided her time, watched for her moment. Finally it came, and she escaped. But that was only the beginning for Sassinak.

Killashandra Ree has spent ten grueling years in musical training, anticipating interstellar celebrity as a vocal soloist. She is young, beautiful—and still without prospects. After learning that a flaw in her voice will prevent her from singing lead, she hears of the mysterious Heptite Guild on the planet Ballybran, where the fabled Black Crystal is found. Mining this strange form of crystal is a dangerous occupation but to Killa, the risks are acceptable. Remarkably, her adaptation to crystal mining is unusually easy. The problem is—few people who land on Ballybran ever leave.

Those youngsters stories didn't disappointed me.
I'm recommending to every Pern admirer.

satisfaction
These little "gifts" are far more satisfying than the last couple of full length Pern novels. In each of these short stories, Ms McCaffrey concentrates on a very compressed timeline, and a small number of characters. The results: fully developed characters and lots of detail about their lives on Pern. "A Gift of Dragons" rates right up there with "Nerilka's Story" and "Moreta" as my favorite books in the Pern series.

Really glad I got this
I've never read any of these stories, so enjoyed them greatly. And the narrator is wonderful! I just really could do without the music lead in and close out to each story, as it is loud enough to cover the narrator mostly. Not completely, but it's irritating. Other than that, I'm very happy with this, and will definitely be listening to it again in the future.

A taste of Pern.
I have always enjoyed the Pern stories. The authors concept of genetically engineered, intelligent and telepathic dragons who ,with the help of their riders fight to protect thier planet from a devastating spaceborn lifeform fascinates me.Tthe entire series of books weaves a tale of a society and its devolution from high tech to agrarian life as the planets residents struggle to survive in the face of a terrible menace. The audible adaptations add a new and enjoyable dimension.

3 wonderful visits to Pern
I thank Anne McCaffrey each and every time I visti Pern to live another life through her wonderful characters. In a Gift of Dragons, she offers up 3 more fascinating tales to add even more depth to the history of the world she has created on Pern. Lee Meriwether is a welcome change in narrator, making the people of Pern more alive than ever. Thank you for this break in everyday mundane life and making my time in the car with an audio book something to look forward too.
