Anne McCaffrey is Jan 1994. If you enjoy this novel, it is available for buy as a paperback from Barnes & Noble or Indigo, as an ebook on the Amazon Kindle store, or as an audiobook on Audible.
These are five compelling tales of early Pern, ranging from the first space survey suggesting colonization to the last one in which the early planet, with its fledgling dragon civilization yet undiscovered, is doomed to be left alone in space.
This is the story of the major evacuation from the volcanic southern continent, in which a flotilla of dolphins protected and directed the whole group of humans as they crossed the treacherous waters. This account also tells of the enormous project that was Ruatha Hold's construction in the early days of Pern.
And this is one of Anne McCaffrey's most captivating dragon stories ever, set in the days when there was only one weyr, Fort Weyr, and when there was an extreme overcrowding of dragons and dragonriders. A little girl named Torene began to understand that her dragon may become the future Queen of the newly constructed Benden Weyr as word spread that three more weyrs were about to be built.
