Customer Reviews

From the author of Tales of Ancient Xenar

I had listened to this story on audio and enjoyed it very much. It details a very long and hard fought journey undertaken by humans with the help of dolphins. This is one of the few McCaffrey stories I've read. Almosta year later after reading this story, I found a song that very well fits the theme of the story. The song is alled High water and its performed by ush. Its on their Hold your Fire CD.

The other side of the story!

Another side story well worth reading. This is the story of the second crossing, from the Southern Continent to the Northern Continent. Jim Tillek is in charge of moving all the equipment to the north. This gives more background on the part the dolphins played in Pern's History. To get the sull feeling of this book, make sure that you have read Dragonsdawn, as the events go together. What is nice about this story, is that there is no need to feel in the background information, as that is what Dragonsdawn is for. The story starts right where it needs to and continues on. It is really nice that we get to know Jim Tillek more. Anne did a wonderful job and the story flows rather smoothly. A must read for Pern fans, as this gives us all more detail and more background information. A nice short story, that is wonderfully written.

Read this book

This is a great book combining 2 of my favorite things dolphins and Pern. This is a very good book. I couldn't put it down.

Interesting story based around the DOLPHINS OF PERN

An interesting book revolving around the time of the second crossing, and the dolphins that helped.
