Story
Killashandra Ree has spent ten grueling years in musical training, anticipating interstellar celebrity as a vocal soloist. She is young, beautiful—and still without prospects. After learning that a flaw in her voice will prevent her from singing lead, she hears of the mysterious Heptite Guild on the planet Ballybran, where the fabled Black Crystal is found. Mining this strange form of crystal is a dangerous occupation but to Killa, the risks are acceptable. Remarkably, her adaptation to crystal mining is unusually easy. The problem is—few people who land on Ballybran ever leave.

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.

Publisher's Summary
The classic first Dragonriders of Pern novel from New York Times best seller Anne McCaffrey.
The Dragons of Pern are the world's only defence against an ancient threat - Thread, an evil rain that devours everything it touches. Paired with their riders from the moment they hatch, they risk their lives burning the scourge of the Red Star from the sky. But the dragons are in decline - the Red Star hasn't posed a threat for generations, and the people of Pern have forgotten what they owe the Dragonriders. Only one Weyr remains, and the only dragon queen is dying....
F'lar knows that the Red Star is rising again and that the ancient threat will return. His only hope is the last queen egg and finding a woman strong enough to be the new queen's rider. But the villainous Lord Fax has other plans....

Finally!
I’ve been frustrated in the past by the narrator of Dragonsong and Dragonsinger, etc. and have been waiting for aaaages for the rest of the Dragon books to be recorded unabridged. Finally audible are releasing the rest of the series and Sophie Aldred gives a satisfying performance. Her voices for the lord holders don’t quite match their descriptions but overall, she’s pleasant to listen to.
I’ve really enjoyed listening to this audiobook.

Excellent reading
I loved rediscovering Pern listening to the books again on audible. Sophie Aldred does an amazing job at brining the characters to life. I have listened to the first three books - which are great! However after listening to the samples of the for the other books in the series I will wait until they are re-recorded as the first three books have been - they are quite crackly and the performances seem quite dated. Please re-record the other books soon! And hire Sophie! She is awesome! :)

I loved these books when I was a kid.
She must have been so young and innocent when she wrote these books.
**spoilers**
When the MC is repeatedly raped the author sort of offhandedly acknowledges that it's a bit rapey but the MC is somehow not at all traumatized by it. She's just a little bit grumpy. It's all very casually mentioned like it was just an unfortunate way to lose one's virginity.
When the missing weyrs of Pern who have been fighting thread for 40 turns, undoubtedly losing people they love along the way and likely many being permanently scarred from battle, have finally survived to enjoy a few months of peace, they are somehow all totally peachy keen to give up everything they know to go right back to the trauma of war because they're bored with no more thread to fight.
Only someone who's led a trauma free life would think these things would be no big deal.
That being said, Pern will always hold a special place in my heart. The world is interesting and I love the blending if fantasy and sci-fi.
Sophie did a fantastic job of narrarating as usual, even if I did cringe a bit at the way she pronounced Igen (Hold and Weyr).
