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.

These harper hall stories are great
The Peimur story was easy listening. By book 3 I was accustomed to the narrator.

Great story, almost flawless delivery
I’ve been a fan of Anne McCaffery, and particularly her Pern series, for nearly 4 decades and being able to hear her stories spoken is magical. DragonDrums was always one of my favourites and Sally Darling’s narration suits this and the others in the series well. My only nitpick, similar to many other audio versions of books I already know, is that there are a couple of slightly different pronunciations that she uses that tend to irritate me when I hear them. For instance, I always figured that the N in N’ton’s name would be pronounced the same as it is in Norton, for which N’ton is the abbreviation. To me it sounds a bit like Nehtonn whereas Sally pronounces the N’t as if it were in the word don’t. But we agree on most other riders’ names like F’lar and F’nor. It’s a minor quibble and possibly I’m in the minority but it’s the reason I gave 1 less star on performance. Other than that, I love it.
If you’re a Pern fan and debating whether to hear the books you’ve read, I highly recommend you pay the world a visit again.

Pronunciations spoil reading.
Why is 'shone' pronounced 'shown' - that is worst and most frequent. And again so much emphasis is misplaced- please, rehearse each chapter before recording.

Excellent Adventure
I really enjoyed this mostly solo adventure, with elements of a great escape, survival in nature and even a little sea voyage.
