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!

      Dick Hill's growly voice and staccato delivery require careful concentration from the listener throughout the opening chapters of Dragonsdawn. The narration seems rushed, making it difficult to sort out the multitude of characters, despite the energetic efforts of Hill to differentiate voices. Transitions between chapters are abrupt, and occasional mispronunciations mar the text. D.L. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

      Dragonsdawn, the first book in the Pern series, is a futuristic story of risk, romance and adventure. Allison Green has attempted to bring the heroic cast of characters to life by investing each with a voice print. It is an ambitious undertaking which falters. The characters are myriad; the voices Greene creates are often hard to understand and identify. The performance is further marred by an uneven quality of sound and awkward breaks between cassettes. Occasionally, however, Greene reads brilliantly. At these times, compelled by the drama of the storyline. she speaks clearly and quickly, trusting the power of McCaffrey's story to carry the listener into Pern's lush landscape. L.S.
