About this listen
The beautiful planet Pern seemed a paradise to its new colonists—a return to an agrarian way of life—until unimaginable terror turned it into hell. Lethal spores began to fall like silvery thread-like rain from the sky, vaporizing everything—and everyone—in their path. The colony, cut off from Earth and lacking the resources to combat the menace, was doomed.
The colonists noticed that small, dragon-like lizards in their new world were joining the fight against Thread, breathing fire on it and teleporting to safety. If only the dragonets were big enough for a human to ride and intelligent enough to work as a team with a rider. With time running out and the colony's destruction imminent, they set their most talented geneticist to work to create the creatures Pern so desperately needed—dragons!

This version leaves much to be desired - literall!
When I purchased this book, I wasn't aware that it was an abridged (think Coles Cliff notes) version. There are missing parts of sentences in addition to whole plot points. I'm disappointed that I wasted my money on the wrong version.

Abridged version!
Books need to be more clearly marked that they are abridged versions. Very disappointed, and lesson learned.

very abridged version
I have read this book many times and it took me about an hour in to realize that almost half the story is missing, it jumps from one part to the next and leaves out all the wonderful details that Anne McCaffrey is known for. excellent book, this is not a good version of it.
