Life in the Harper Hall is busy for best friends Kindan, Nonala, and Kelsa. As the only female apprentices, Nonala and Kelsa are the butt of jokes and easy targets for the bully Vaxoram and his cronies. But when Kindan springs to Kelsa’s defense, he winds up in a fight for his life against the older, bigger Vaxoram—a fight that will lead to a surprising friendship.

Meanwhile, in nearby Fort Hold, a clutch of fire-lizard eggs is about to hatch, and Lord Bemin’s beautiful young daughter, Koriana, is determined to Impress one of the delightful creatures. At the hatching, Kindan Impresses a fire-lizard of his own…and wins the heart of Koriana. But Lord Bemin mistrusts harpers and will not hear of a match between his daughter and the low-born Kindan.

Then fate intervenes in the form of a virulent plague as fast-spreading as it is deadly. Arising suddenly, as if out of nowhere, the contagion decimates hold after hold, paying no heed to distinctions of birth. In this feverish crucible, friendship and love will be tested to the breaking point and beyond. For with Threadfall scant years away, the Dragonriders dare not expose themselves to infection, and it will fall to Kindan and his fellow apprentices to bravely search for a cure and save humanity.

The price of failure is unthinkable. But the price of success may be even harder to bear.

Tod is without doubt a very fit writer to take up the story of Pern .
His story line is the best I have read and that says a lot his mother must be looking at this with joy to know her son has followed the true theme.

One of the very best stories of the Pern series.

I really enjoy the Pern series and this story was good overall.

I was a little disappointed that the narrator had an American accent. It doesn't seem right from an Irish author. I was also a little disappointed that there were a few mistakes, e.g. calling someone a 'Holder' rather than a 'Harper' or the other way around. I don't know if this was a mistake in recording or in the original text.

There were a few times when my disbelief was not entirely suspended when I thought that characters were not doing something obvious, but overall the story was good. The characters were interesting and it was good to discover what had happened to characters introduced in a previous book.

Enjoyable, but a couple of disappointments

I listened to this again and it’s still as absorbing as it was 20 years ago

Wonderful

This Pern book is nothing like as good as the others in the series. There are too many characters and they are poorly portrayed, and, while at first it lays down some potentially interesting plot lines, they are all ruthlessly eradicated around 2/3rds of the way through, rendering the effort of writing/listening to them pointless and frustrating. All that is left is the most obvious resolution which had previously been discounted on a dubious technicality only to be revived too late to save the story.

Meanwhile, new characters and previously unknown and contradictory facts are shoe-horned into the story in a doomed attempt to prevent the whole thing grinding to a halt. It is a ploy that fails and the last 1/3rd of the book is simply dull.

Nothing wrong with the narration though ;)

Not up to the same standard.

I bought this hoping it would be as good as the three Harper books - from the original series of Pern books.

I wish I had read the previous review before buying. It is irritatingly bad - the story is clumsy and badly written, the naration is annoying.

Disappointing
