Product Description
Of all the young singers at the Harperhall of Pern, Piemur was the one chosen for the leading role at Lord Groghe's Gather...and then his voice broke. Suddenly his whole future at Harperhall became uncertain. But Masterharper Robinton, Menolly and Sebell had other plans for Piemur. They were sure that his quick wits and discretion could be used to keep a check on the troublesome Oldtimers and their strange traffic in fire lizards. So, whilst serving as a messanger-drum apprentice, Piemur carried out special errands for the three. And it was on one such errand that he realized his wildest dreams.

 Harper series July 10, 2009
Sue Smith
I loved all three of these books. I've read them over and over. I was disappointed the first time I read this one because I was expecting it to be about Menolly, but when I read it again later, I found the magic. It is a really good read! I would definitely suggest it to anyone, especially for those that are new to sci-fi fantasy.
 good story, not as exciting as the first two in the trilogy April 6, 2009
M. Prickett
This book was not as exciting as the first two in the Harper Hall series. I really would have liked to read more about Menolly. And it was never really clear what happened with Piemur and his voice. Still overall, it was still a good book by the author.
 Another popular dragon book January 15, 2009

Riding dragons and Thread are again a part of the growing up of Piemur.
His antics get him in trouble with the other apprentices after his voice change makes a signal drummer of him.
It is a young person's fantasy that is good popular reading.
The very middle ages culture of Pern has a double star and new animals ( dragons) that can do short hyperspace jumps "between".
With telepathy between dragons and their masters it has the full compliment
of magic-science to make people happy reading it.
For me it is just a little bit too much and too easy
for real sci fi?
His Voice Changes March 16, 2008

This book focuses on Menolly's young friend, the irrepressible Piemur and what happens to him when his voice starts to break. It is a don't miss for fans of McCaffrey and for Harper Hall as it does extend the understanding of the "other tunes" a harper can play in Pern's society.
I would not recommend this book as the first one to read for someone not familiar with the series. The plot suffers structural flaws and loses steam. Some themes and concepts are repeated here without the force they had when originally presented in other Pern books. The ending seems a little contrived as if the author is starting to write to a formula.
DRAGON DRUMS March 6, 2008
SONYA SAGONA (SHREVEPORT LOUISIANA)
I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AN AVID BOOK READER AND HAVE COLLECTED MY FAVORITES OVER THE YEARS, BUT WHEN I READ DREAGONS DAWN WHICH LEAD ME TO THE OTHER ANN MCCAFFERY BOOKS LIKE DRAGONDRUMS, I WAS HOOKED. I HAVE NOW COLLECTED ALL OF THE PERN BOOKS THAT BOTH MOTHER AND SON MCCAFFERY HAVE WRITTEN AND IT'S ONLY TAKEN ME SIX MONTHS TO COLLECT THEM ALL. DRAGONDRUMS AND THE OTHER HARPER HALL BOOKS ARE WONDERFUL IN THE FACT THAT WE GET TO SEE HOW THE BACKGROUND SUPPORT PEOPLE IN THESE BOOKS COME TO PLAY A ROLE IN THE DRAGONRIDERS LIVES. FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO ASK WHY ABOUT EVERY LITTLE THING, THESE BOOKS ARE WONDERFUL. THANKS, MCCAFFERY'S.
