All the Weyrs of Pern

Dragonriders of Pern, Book 11

By: Anne McCaffrey

Narrated by: Mel Foster

For generations, the dragonriders had dedicated their lives to fighting Thread, the dreaded spores that periodically rained from the sky to ravage the land. On the backs of their magnificent telepathic dragons they flew to flame the deadly stuff out of the air before it could reach the planet's surface.

But the greatest dream of the dragonriders was to find a way to eradicate Thread completely, so that never again would their beloved Pern be threatened with destruction.

Now, for the first time, it looks as if that dream can come true. For when the people of Pern, led by Masterharper Robinton and F'lar and Lessa, Weyr-leader and Weyrwoman of Benden Weyr, excavate the ancient remains of the planet's original settlement, they uncover the colonists' voice-activated artificial intelligence system - which still functions. And the computer has incredible news for them: There is a chance - a good chance - that they can, at long last, annihilate Thread once and for all.

Critic reviews

"When McCaffrey's beloved dragons roar and their riders soar upon the beasts' mighty backs...fans of Pern will likely be enthralled." (Publishers Weekly)

love this author, just can't get enough!

couldn't stop listening, the inflection, the voices, brought such life to an already livable tale.

Another great telling by the master Harper of pern

I have read and listened to this so many times. I enjoy it more every time I hear it.

End of Thread!

Great finish to the threat of thread. Anne McCaffrey weaves a tale of hope and advancement of Pern.

A most satisfying end

All the Weyrs of Pern is the successful culmination of Anne Mccaffery's entertaining Dragons of Pern Series. I listen to the other novels just to build up to listening to this. It is my favorite of the series.

I do have some complaints about the performance. It's read a bit too slowly and he makes Master Robinton sound like he is always pontificating in a patronizing manner, which I didn't like. He also made F'lar sound like he was from New Jersey. But overall, it's a good listen once you get used to his voice acting.

As a tip, do yourself a favor and read Dragon's Dawn before this one.

Simply amazing

Have read and enjoyed many times.
A must read for any who enjoy Pern saga.

great story

I really enjoyed this continuation and the ending was just right. I look forward to reading more from my favorite author

great book

the end credits made me cry, that alone makes this book worth the read. I must wonder if Ann MaCaffey was giving her farewell when she wrote of Master Harper Robinson's death.

Reading all

I am enjoying the dragon riders of pern series. The readers are wonderful to listen to.

Anne McCaffrey's storytelling in fine form!

I enjoyed this book, and had as a young adult, and got two entirely different, but equally enjoyable experiences. It grows in the re-reading.

Fills in the Gaps

While necessary, much of the techie jargon was a bit boring for me. The narrator didn't have as much inflection differential between persons as some of the previous books.

But overall, I enjoyed the book as I do all the Pern series.
