In this triumphant return to Pern, Anne McCaffrey takes us on an adventure as surprising and unforgettable as any that has come before . . .
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--not even violence--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 solve the crisis and 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 Various Themes Traditionalism Vs. Technology, The Necessity Of Societal Change, Feminist Commentary On Draconian Psychology Are At Times Awkwardly Integrated. And Her Slightly Watered-down Villains Seem Peripheral To The Action, Merely A Means To Showcase Familiar Personalities Performing During Crises. Nonetheless, As All Her Pern Novels Amply Demonstrate, Mccaffrey's Sexy And Cunning Dragons Carry The Day And The Novel With Impeccable, Irresistible Panache. (apr. 3) Forecast: A Likely Genre Bestseller, But Some Younger Pern Fans May Be Put Off By The Emphasis On Retirement, Unable To Appreciate The Angst Of Inexorably Approaching Age.
