I would have enjoyed this installment more if Readis' mother hadn't had such antipathy for her son's work with the dolphins. A feel-good story and not for people who want blasters and battling spaceships, but another enjoyable Pern book if you like that kind of story. Also unbelievable. I'm definitely interested in reading more of Anne McCaffrey, especially when it comes to her Pern series. but on second reading it is a good story.

But whenever circumstances allow, I do try to bring her American bacon, something she can't get easily in Ireland, and something which she has taught all her friends there to love, as well! Ara & Jayge left the northern continent because Ara no longer wanted to hear dragons. The dolphins, like the fire lizards are a wonderful addition to Pern. Other contact was done by T'lion, rider of bronze Gadareth, and Readis, of Paradise River Hold. I was not familiar with this series prior to reading this novel, but from I gathered it is quite interesting. Dolphins ties together hidden history of Pern.

Game of Thrones meets The Hobbit. The Dolpines of Pern was my introduction to this series. AIVAS confirms that the big fish are called dolphins, part of the original settlers of Pern. Of course, being McCaffrey, things work out. The only thing I had to google was 'between' as I wasn't sure what exactly is mean by dragon riders flying 'between' but I would have had probably figured it out even without the extra info. This is about Araminta's boy, who is also telepathically sensitive, but to dolphins. There was a little bit of the "same story from a different point of view" that she has been doing on and off - which irritates me. To borrow a TV phrase, I consider All the Weyrs of Pern (the book immediately proceeding Dolphins of Pern chronologically) to be where McCaffrey jumped the shark with the Dragonriders series. Space colonization is a fascinating concept. The 25 original dolphins were attracted to the prospect of being able to preserve their species in new, unpolluted seas.

During the intervening Passes humans forgot about dolphins, but the dolphins, by use of revered oral tradition, did not forget about the how and why they existed on Pern in the first place.
