About this listen

The third Dragonriders of Pern novel from the New York Times best seller Anne McCaffrey.

There has never been a dragon quite like Ruth - he's small, agile, able to communicate with fire lizards and has an uncanny ability to know exactly when he is. His bond with the young Lord Holder Jaxom is uniquely strong thanks to their unlikely connection and the fact that nearly everybody else on Pern thought the diminutive dragon wouldn't survive to adulthood. With Jaxom set to inherit control of his Hold, the pair is banned from fighting Thread, their flying time strictly limited at the insistence of the Weyrleaders and Lord Holders.

Stuck halfway between the Holds and Weyrs, Jaxom and Ruth decide to train in secret, learning how to fight Thread and how to fly through time. Their illicit flights seem like a small rebellion against the expectations of their elders, until they find themselves in the path of danger and in a position to prevent the biggest disaster of all....

Never get tired of Anne McCaffrey 's dragon tales. This one of Ruth and Jaxom showing what determination can prove.
My quibble however is that across all the different Pern books now in audible each narrator has their own way of pronouncing the characters names. I personally find it annoying that there is no set way. The authors family must be able to provide the correct way that Anne had in her mind while writing. and those co-written with family members the same. To have that continuity would make the story flow much better.
