About This Audiobook

All the Weyrs of Pern brings the dream of dragon riders across the series' eleven-novel arc to its potential fulfillment, as the discovery of a functional ancient computer system offers a real path to eliminating Thread forever. McCaffrey builds the novel toward a moment of technological triumph while honoring the emotional cost of change in a culture where Thread has defined every relationship between human and dragon.

Mel Foster narrates with the warm intimacy that McCaffrey's world rewards, his voice carrying the affection for these characters that readers bring after years of the series. The Hugo Award-winning novel's resolution of the series' central conflict benefits from audio's ability to sustain the gradual emotional accumulation of a story that has been building across eleven entries, making the payoff feel genuinely earned.
