Suddenly deadly sporeswere falling like silver threads from the sky, devouring everything --and everyone -- in their path. It began to look as if the colony, cutoff from Earth and lacking the resources to combat the menace, wasdoomed. Then some of the colonists noticed that the small, dragonlike lizardsthat inhabited their new world were joining the fight against Thread,breathing fire on it and teleporting to safety. If only, they thought,the dragonets were big enough for a human to ride and intelligent enoughto work as a team with a rider... And so they set their most talented geneticist to work to create thecreatures Pern so desperately needed -- Dragons! "Anne McCaffrey 'remains a master of the well-told tale.'" CHICAGO SUN-TIMES "Few are better at mixing elements of high fantasy and hard sciencefiction in a narrative that disarms skepticism by it open embrace ofthe joys of wish fulfillment." "This is must reading for fans of the The Dragonriders of Pernseries..." Cover art by Michael Whelan (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 25 Aug 2008 01:07:47 -0400) |
