false<![CDATA[The Skies of Pern]]>http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171940087m/127566.jpg12756623It is a time of hope and regret, of endings and beginnings. The Red Star, that celestial curse whose eccentric orbit was responsible fro Thread, has been shifted to a harmless orbit, and the current Threadfall will be the last. Technological marvels are changing the face of life on Pern, and the dragonriders, led by F'lessan, son of F'Lar and Lessa and rider of bronze Golanth, and Tia, rider of green Zaranth, must forge a new place for themselves in a world that may no longer need them.
But change is not easy for everyone. There are those who will stop at nothing to keep Pern and its people pure. And now a brand-new danger looms from the skies and threatens a catastrophe of unimaginable proportions. Once again, the world looks to the dragons and their riders to save the world. But now, as the friendship of F'Lessan and Tia begins to bloom into something more, unforseen tragedy strikes; a tragedy destined to forever change the future - not just of the two young lovers, but of every human and dragon on Pern...17603642001The Skies of Perntotal:1950|5:562|4:658|3:604|2:101|1:25|1950748124383030falsefalseMon Nov 02 00:00:00 -0800 2009Tue Nov 03 16:16:33 -0800 2009Tue Nov 03 17:25:49 -0800 2009 McCaffrey's books aren't usually particularly compelling, but they're usually enjoyable quick reads. Skies of Pern is no exception, although the more recent books have struggled to find strong characters worth an entire book.
