Format: MP3 The planet Pern, where riders mount huge dragons to fend off deadly threadlike spores that fall from the sky, continues to be one of SF's most popular settings. Here, for the first time in one volume, are three novels featuring Menolly and Piemur, two young Pernese with extraordinary musical talent. In Dragonsong, Menolly's yearning to sing is threatened by a stern father who believes it a disgrace -- leaving her no choice but to run away. Dragonsinger brings Menolly to the Harper Hall, where she can fulfill her ambition to sing, if only the others will accept her. Dragondrums is the thrilling adventure of Piemur, a brilliant boy soprano whose fate changes suddenly when his voice does. This is one of the great fantasy reads. Many of us read these as children, alongside classics like The Hobbit, The blue Sword, and the Earthsea series. While technically young adult, Dragonsong, Dragonsinger, and Dragondrums are just as enjoyable years later.
