This book tells the story of the trip made by the early Pern settlers from the South continent to the North. Initially when Pern was settled both continents were considered viable but the South continent was soon discovered to be subject to violent volcanic eruptions. A convoy of ships, all sizes and types, was used to move the settlers and their belongings. But they wouldn't have made it if the dolphins hadn't been there to help.

This story filled in some of the gaps in Pernese history for me and the dolphins are another Pernese inhabitant that I would love to meet. Thanks Anne for another great story. ( )
