Book Description

Jan 1998 Pern (Book 12)
In Anne McCaffrey's New York Times bestselling DRAGONSEYE,
join Weyrleaders, Holders, and Craftmasters in the creation of the legendary Star Stones and the teaching ballads of Pern!

It's been two-hundred years since the deadly Thread fell like rain upon Pern, devouring everything in its path. No one alive remembers that first horrific onslaught and no one believes in its return--except for the dragonriders. For two centuries they have been practicing and training, passing down from generation to generation the formidable Threadfighting techniques.

Now the ominous signs are appearing: the violent winter storms and volcanic eruptions that are said to herald the approach of the Red Star and its lethal spawn. But one stubborn Lord Holder, Chalkin of Bitra, refuses to believe--and that disbelief could spell disaster. So as the dragonriders desperately train to face a terrifying enemy, they and the other Lord Holders must find a way to deal with Chalkin--before history repeats itself and unleashes its virulence on all of Pern. . . .

3.0 out of 5 stars Book titles 14 Nov 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Surely this is just Red Star Rising - probably renamed for the American market. Like some of her other books ( and some books of other authors) it is trying to sell the same book twice over.

Anne McCaffrey again recaptures the spirit of the Pernese as they continue their fight to settle and survive on the planet picked by ancestors to become their home. The setting is immediately prior to the second pass of the deadly menace Thread. The people are preparing for this and adjusting to the agragarian lifestyle as the technologies of their ancestors rusts and crumbles. It doesn't meet the extremely high ratings that I would give the Harper Hall Trilogy or the Dragonriders of Pern Trilogy. It does, however satisfy the need within me to get more from McCaffrey. The storyline has many heroes as compared to McCaffrey's tendency to have at least one Lessa, Moreta, or Killashandra. I look forward to reading her next release (Masterharper of Pern) which is already on my bedside table. In fact, I am late for that now. Enjoy the book, I know that I did!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Read the content, throw away the cover! 1 Feb 1997
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
Once again, Anne fills in more of the tantalizing, elusive history of Pern, including giving us a deeper glimpse into the minds and lives of dragons, riders, holders and craftsmen. I love the way she has gone back and fleshed out the heritage, answered our questions - even the little ones - like, if green dragons are female, why weren't women impressing them by the day and age of Dragonflight? Fans of this series will enjoy this continuing history. My only gripe was, of all things, the book cover. The new artist depicted the ugliest dragons I've ever seen! Words like stumpy, thick-necked, snail-headed come to mind. Anne, go back to your old artist!
