Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A pleasant entertainment, lacking the wonder of the originalF'lar and his brother F'nor must save the planet Pern from unexpected falls of the deadly Thread in this sequel to McCaffrey's marvelous fantasy `Dragonflight'.

The various F guys try to ameliorate this with mixed success, and violence and death does happen. Some technological advances to let one brave pair try and check out the source of the Thread menace in space. Rating: - Great if you like Sci FictionThe Pern series of books from Anne McCaffery are great. Better if you read them in order, (look online at her website for recommendations). This is futuristic science fiction, but if you liked Aregon, you would probably like this series too |
