All the Weyrs of Pern
“When McCaffrey's beloved dragons roar and their riders soar on the beasts' mighty backs . . . fans of Pern will likely be enthralled.”—Publishers Weekly
For generations, the dragonriders had dedicated their lives to fighting Thread, the dreaded spores that periodically rained from the sky to ravage the land. On the backs of their magnificent telepathic dragons they flew to flame the deadly stuff out of the air before it could reach the planet's surface. But the greatest dream of the dragonriders was to find a way to eradicate Thread completely, so that never again would their beloved Pern be threatened with destruction.
Now, for the first time, it looks as if that dream can come true. For when the people of Pern, led by Masterharper Robinton and F'lar and Lessa, Weyrleader and Weyrwoman of Bendon Weyr, excavate the ancient remains of the planet's original settlement, they uncover the colonists' voice-activated artificial intelligence system—which still functions. And the computer has incredible news for them: There is a chance—a good chance—that they can, at long last, annihilate Thread once and for all.

I read the Pern series every few years. Like coming home to a warm and inviting hall filled with all my favorite people. Apt storytelling. Excellent characters and lot’s of immersion. Highly recommended.

This brings people from the Harper Hall Trilogy into contact with the Southern Continent, and a buried, 100% preserved original colony structures, and among them is AVIS — he helps bring them into the new world of “our time” if you will, in “ways,” and this tale is definitely one that’s relative to today and now. New technology that many people need, but that many others abhor, which in a small society like that on Pern…well you can imagine. Great book, although many didn’t care for it upon initial release. NOW, we have basically all done some of the things they will accomplish within the course of the book. Definitely give it a read — it’s a great book.

I have loved “The Dragon riders of Pern” since I first read “The White Dragon” back in the ‘70s. I would love to see what today’s movie makers could do with making a mini series of the books. To “see” Ramoth, Mnemeth & Ruth fly across the big screen would be a great triumph. Every time I read the books, I “see” and am part of Pern. Master Robinton & Zair’s passing still brings me to tears. Thank you so very much, Anne McCaffery.

Having known and admired Anne as both an author and friend, I have nothing but praise for this tale of Pern, even if it always makes me cry (as it did her!). However, this translation into electronic media has some serious problems, especially in the last quarter of the book, where entire paragraphs of text are missing. I could wish that the publisher would get with the program and correct these mistakes, but I fear it won't ever happen. A pity, since it diminishes what is otherwise an exceptional tale from an exceptional author who is no longer with us.

She welcomes you to a new and wonderful world. For me, I am living on PERN, with their ups and downs. I have laughed, cried, and whooped with joy.
