The Chronicles of Pern: First Fall

Written by Anne McCaffrey

Narrated by Meredith MacRae

These are the first five episodes of Anne McCaffrey's fascinating saga of Pern—in which listeners learn about the earliest days of Pernese history. Beginning with the very first ever Dragonriders of Pern adventure, join the original survey team as they explore Pern and recommend it for colonization. Share the terror of the evacuation from the Southern Continent as a flotilla of ships—aided by intelligent, talking dolphins—braves the currents of the Pernese ocean. Learn how the famous Ruatha Hold was founded. Thrill with the dragonriders as they expand into a second, then a third Weyr. And discover a secret lost in time—the rescue of some of the original colonists before the planet was cut off forever.

Reviews for The Chronicles of Pern

[Dominique Konrad · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This book starts off taking place at the same time as the events going on in Dragonsdawn. But from the non dragon riders perspective. Then a time jump to find out what occurred from some of the events that started off in the same Dragonsdawn novel.

My only issue with this recording was that at least 4 different times, spread out over the length of the recording there is dialog missing. The recording just cuts out for a few seconds then picks back up further along .
