Editorial Review:
When the first humans came to settle the planet Pern, they did not comealone: intelligence-enhanced dolphins also crossed the stars to colonizethe oceans of the new planet while their human partners settled the vastcontinents. But then disaster struck. The deadly silver spores calledThread fell like rain from the sky, and as the human colonists' dreamsof a new, idyllic life shattered into a desperate struggle for survival,the dolphins were forgotten.
Now, centuries later, as the dragonriders of Pern were preparing tocomplete the momentous task of ridding their world of Thread forever,T'lion, a young bronze rider, and his friend Readis, son of the LordHolder of Paradise River Hold, made contact with the legendary"shipfish." And as the dragonriders grappled with the ending of an era,T'lion, Readis, and the dolphins faced the start of a new one: revivingthe bond between land and ocean dwellers -- and resurrecting the dreamsof the first colonists of Pern!
"McCaffrey here adds yet another dimension to her colorful and vividsaga by focusing on the attractive dolphins and their highly believablesociety."

Rating: - ...they had remembered to remember...
So how do you follow up the fabulous All the Weyrs of Pern (Dragonriders of Pern Series), which told of the concerted, all-out efforts of Weyr, Hold, and Craft to finally, irrevocably eradicate Thread from the planet of Pern?

It certainly doesn't satisfy as ... Read More
Rating:  - The Dolphins Of Pern
I loved this book. Anne McCaffrey did it again. She is amazing! The dolphins are just as vibrant as her dragons. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the Pern series.

Another facet of the Pern stories. McCaffrey adds another intelligent species to the dragons. Good read.
Rating:  - Not Free SF Reader
Boy overboard. Luckily, there are a bunch of dolphins around to help the poor wet brat out. Or, shipfish as the localls call them.
The boy makes friends with the beasts, and his ability to communicate with them becomes important in the defence of the planet and in increasing the technological level of the society. Dolphins ain't dumb.
Rating: - Great if you like Sci Fiction
The Pern series of books from Anne McCaffery are great. Better if you read them in order, (look online at her website for recommendations). This is futuristic science fiction, but if you liked Aregon, you would probably like this series too
