An awesome book!! I love McCaffrey's way of transporting the reader to the world of Pern where dragons & their riders keep everyone safe!! Well written & fine fiction!!! I'd buy it again!!

I have been reading (and revisting) the Dragon novels of Annie McCaffrey since the 1970's and have a nearly full set : this novel does not disappoint, in fact builds on Anne's already very high standards and lets us see a little more of Pern's history through another mind - as always the characters, and the planet come to life as soon as the book is opened, making me often wish I could be part of Benden's Weyr. Todd shows us a little of the darker side of Pern's people, in a sensitive but realistic way.

This book was a terrible disappointment. I just kept slogging thru it, hoping at some point it would finally hold together. It didn't. The big "search for Maron" just fizzled. The guy was never held accountable for what he did wrong, which just doesn't jibe with the way Harpers are supposed to me. The thing I've been noticing with the trend of these latest books in the Pern series, is that no one is ever happy. There is only misery and a lot of back-stabbing. The only happiness seems to come in the last two sentences.

I am just SO tired of Pern books with no dragons (except for ferrying people around). Be warned, this is another wandering kids book.

Again, the McCaffrey family has outdone themselves. I started reading the series as a youth and past 40 I am still reading the series. I wait with great anticipation for each new book. I am glad that her son is now writing.
