The long-awaited Dragonriders of Pern(R) novel from bestselling author
Anne McCaffrey
It is a time of hope and regret, of endings and beginnings. The Red
Star, that celestial curse whose eccentric orbit was responsible for
Thread, has been shifted to a harmless orbit, and the current Threadfall
will be the last. Technological marvels are changing the face of life on
Pern, and the dragonriders, led by F'lessan, son of F'lar and Lessa and
rider of bronze Golanth, and Tia, rider of green Zaranth, must forge a
new place for themselves in a world that may no longer need them.
But change is not easy for everyone. There are those who will stop at
nothing to keep Pern and its people pure. And now a brand-new danger
looms from the skies and threatens a catastrophe of unimaginable
proportions. Once again, the world looks to the dragons and their riders
to save the world. But now, as the friendship of F'lessan and Tia begins
to bloom into something more, unforeseen tragedy strikes: a tragedy
destined to forever change the future--not just of the two young lovers,
but of every human and dragon on Pern....
"McCaffrey's sexy and cunning dragons carry the day--and the
novel--with impeccable, irresistible panache." -Publishers Weekly
