Story
Sassinak was 12 when the raiders came. That made her just the right age: old enough to be used, young enough to be broken. Or so the slavers thought. But Sassy turned out to be a little different from your typical slave girl. Maybe it was her unusual physical strength. Maybe it was her friendship with the captured Fleet crewman. Maybe it was her spirit. Whatever it was, it wouldn’t let her resign herself to the life of a slave. She bided her time, watched for her moment. Finally it came, and she escaped. But that was only the beginning for Sassinak.

Pern is the fictional world that has occupied a huge chunk of real estate in my imagination for most of my life!
Either Dragonflight or Dragonsong are the best books to enter Pern through. Dragonflight begins with the intense strength and singleminded determination of Lessa, bent on avenging the murder of her entire family, and the passionate vision of F’lar, the only dragon rider who believes a long absent enemy attacking from the sky will soon return. Very soon. McCaffrey’s true gift is with world building, but the character development in this book is gradual and plausible. The most entertaining and lovable ‘person’ in this novel is Mnementh, F’lar’s dragon. He’s such a character and provides comic relief in a novel full of danger and action, interspersed with times of quiet desperation and introspection. As you’d expect, the narrator’s pronunciation of place and people’s names may differ from yours if you’ve read the series before, but the voice is great.

My introduction to Pern
I first read Dragonflight in 1968 from my Highschool library. Since then I bought my own copy, bought it on KOBO and after vision loss I bought it on Audible Canada. The narrator did an incredible job. It was almost like a video, the story came to life as I listened to the familiar story, I heard the story in a different way than when any of the times I had previously read it. If you are an Anne McCaffrey fan or even if you have never read her try this audible book (and many of the rest of the Pern series).

Timeless SciFi Classic
This is a timeless classic by Anne McCaffery the first of many and genesis of Pern. Here we see Ruatha Hold and hear Master Robinton for the first time. Dick Hill performs a fair reading of this masterpiece.
