Fiona, the youngest and only surviving daughter of Lord Bemin, is just coming of age, and about to assume the duties of a Weyrwoman, when word spreads that dragons have indeed begun succumbing to the new contagion. With the next season of Threadfall quickly approaching, and the already diminished ranks of the dragons once more under siege, every Weyr across Pern is in crisis mode. It is hardly the time for disturbing distractions – such as the strange voice Fiona suddenly hears in her mind at the darkest and most urgent moments. Circumstances and the mood of the weyrfolk worsen when advance patrols relay the dreaded news that black dust – the unmistakable herald of falling Thread – has been sighted. As more dragons sicken and die, leaving only a new generation of weyrlings too young to succeed them, Weyrleader B’Nik and queen rider Lorana arrive from Benden Weyr to comb Fort Weyr’s archives in a desperate search for clues from the past that may hold the solution to the plague. But could the actual past itself prove the pathway to salvation for Pern’s stricken dragons and the entire imperiled planet? Guided by a mysterious ally from a wholly unexpected place, and trusting in the unique dragon gift for transcending time, Fiona will join a risky expedition with far-reaching consequences for both Pern’s future and her personal destiny. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Only half a bookReader beware. This book ends abruptly, as though the real book was too long, so the author randomly chopped it in half. I HATE this. If you do too, wait for the sequel, and read both together. I wish I had, because it is otherwise a good book. Rating:  - DRAGONHEARTThe delivery was fast and the book was undamaged. The story was excellent. However the binding was terrible. A 1st Edition it might be but a little more quality control is called for. Rating:  - For Lovers of Pern and her dragonsTodd McCaffrey has ensured that the Dragonriders of Pern will go on for at least another generation by taking over this wonderful series from his mother. Totally at ease with the landscape, Mr. McCaffrey does a superb job of it. I read almost all of it in one sitting, it was that good. All I have to say is:"Hurrah!!" Rating: - More, more, moreI read this book in two days. Did very little else as I couldn't put it down. It was well worth the time and brought great enjoyment! I like the way it shows how knowledge is dependent on people and that after a great sickness so much knowledge is lost which takes years or even generations to recover. I eagerly await the next book in this series. Rating: - Not very goodNothing is resolved at the end of this book, is it supposed to be a transitional novel? There is no character development and the characters speak in anger for no apparant reason. The dialog goes on forever but doesn't move the plot forward. Todd just isn't Anne. I think I'll just re read the old ones and give up on this series.
