About this listen

Return to the enchanting world of Pern in the conclusion of Anne McCaffrey’s bestselling Harper Hall Trilogy.

Dragondrums is the spellbinding tale of Piemur, a mischievous young singer who makes an incredible journey to the dark, uncharted realms of Pern. Piemur’s remarkable singing voice has earned him an honored place in Harper Hall, the home of the world’s master musicians. When his voice suddenly changes, he fears his time among the Harpers has ended. But the Masterharper has a special assignment for the singer. On a daring mission to the mysterious Southern Continent, Piemur searches for the secrets of the Old-timers—and his own role in Harper Hall’s future.

Anne McCaffrey’s wondrous tales of Pern, with all their colorful dragons and fascinating characters, are classics of fantasy literature. With millions of fans around the world, the Harper Hall Trilogy has become one of this century’s most popular fantasy sagas—and a tribute to the power of imaginative storytelling.

Haven’t read Anne McCaffrey’s harper trilogy in many a year. Still as good as I remember them.

As always I ve been a huge fan of Anne's work Unfortunately there seems to be no sign of the rest of the Pern series she wrote solo and as always I'd prefer an unabridged version. I can't be the only one who wants the whole of Her works on audio book just hoping it will happen sometime

Great

Storytelling at its best

I read the harper series nearly twenty years ago and absolutely loved it, so I knew the story before I listened to it on Audible. I was somewhat hesitant though, as I have found several of my favourite books absolutely RUINED by poor narrators with grating voices, but Ms Darling does an excellent job portraying a vast array of personalities. She has a very pleasant voice and it was a pleasure listening to the story.

Excellent narrator
