In Dragonquest, there was no such deus ex machina plot device to figure out. I had the solution to the problem long before it was introduced by Anne McCaffrey. While the first Dragonriders of Pern book (Dragonflight) was fun, it was also somewhat predictable. I remember White Dragon as one of my favorites, so I'm getting back to my 'reading' um, listening. Who know, maybe gravity will cease to be so grave!Īnyway, I am lucky to have the next of the Dragonrider books in Audible form and have already cheated ahead. These kept me involved wondering if our own descendants may run into similar discoveries should we let go of our tightly held concepts. New sciences were discovered or recovered in this book. This books challenged us to look at traditions and even break them to see if there might be a better way to do things. Other books in this series are about the dragons and their riders and the fight against thread. I loved this book the first time I read it nearly two decades ago and found it equally exciting this time. Because of the narrator's wonderful voice and character depictions I was able to keep track of where I was in the story even when my eyes refused to read any more. I didn't have the money for the Kindle version so I managed to listen to this Audible version while attempting to decypher the book with its tiny font. This is a continuation of The Dragonriders of Pern.
