DESCRIPTION:
Now that the Red Star has been pushed to another orbit, there will only be a few more ravenous Threads descending from it for them and their dragons to fight--and what role will that leave for them? They have successfully reclaimed Earth's lost technology--and suddenly everyone with a craft that might be outmoded, or who is phobic about surgery, is on the rampage, sabotaging and smashing and making up rumors. --. These fundamentalist Abominators are sure that something terrible will happen if the old ways are not gone back to--and sure enough, fire descends, on cue, from the skies. Anne McCaffrey's Pern series has been running successfully for so long that most of the Dragonriders' original problems have been solved. In The Skies of Pe
Sadly Disappointing Sadly, this last installation of Pern does not live up to Anne McCaffrey's earlier ones. I am so sad she passed. She worked on this one with her son Todd, but the characters are not as richly woven and the plot is very tough to understand at some points. I am a long time Pern fan and read ALL of the former books in the series, and I found myself LOST in the first two chapters. In past books, Anne was careful to make sure that both new readers and long time readers were up to speed before diving into too many details, not the case in this one, so sadly. I stuck it out, but found the boo. Sadly Bad Kindle Customer The worst story from the World of Pern and it saddens me. I didn't think I had to read reviews before buying a book with Ann McCaffrey's name on it. It is obviously not Ann McCaffrey's writing. The book is poorly written, frustrating, confusing, and a major disappointment. I kept rereading unable to determine who was who from where or when. I would not have believed the reviews and bought the book anyway based on good faith. Shame on the publishers and editors for their failure to honor McCaffrey in their greedy rush to send this awful book to an adoring public.. --chris said I really wanted to like this book. I've been a fan of Anne and now Todd's world of Pern since I was 8 years old. I grew up with stories of Lessa and Menolly. I even shed a tear when I read that Masterharper Robinton died in "All the Weirs of Pern". The planet and the characters were so alive to me that I felt that I knew them.However, the last trilogy which culminated in Sky Dragons, left me disappointed and oft-times confused. That's not to say that there were not elements of the trilogy and this book that were not good. There were. But taken as a whole the series lacked.****Minor Spoilers****The three biggest issues f
Now, with all of Pern imperiled by the aftereffects of a plague that killed scores of dragons and left the planet helpless against the fall of deadly Thread, the only hope for the future lies in the past.There, on an unexplored island, a group of dragon-riders led by Xhinna, a brave young woman who rides the blue dragon Tazith, must battle lethal Mrreows and voracious tunnel snakes to build a safe home for themselves and the dragons, whose offspring will one day—if they survive—replenish Pern’s decimated dragon population. But as the first female rider of a blue dragon, and the first female Weyrleader in the history of Pern, Xhinna faces an uphill battle in winning the respect and loyalty of her peers…especially aft
