Synopsis
For 200 years there had been no peace on Pern - but now the signs were ominous. Violent weather storms and erupting volcanoes heralded the coming of the second Pass of Thread, when the red planet would rain down its horrifying harvest and destroy every living organism.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Dragons Fly Again, 28 Oct 2005
By JA Fairhurst "johnfair" (Edgeley, Stockport) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Two hundred turns after Man had first come to the planet of Pern, the years of respite from Threadfall were drawing to a halt as Pern was once more wracked by its approaching step brother and a further inundation of Thread. Despite the loss of technology and knowledge over those turns the people of Pern rallied round the dragon filled Weyrs of Pern in order to defend against an enemy that would devour all its path. All of Pern, that is, except for Lord Chalkin who believed that Thread was simply a way for the Weyrs to gain power over the Lord Holders. Chalkin must go!
Anne McCaffrey was busily building up the back story of the Pern colony with a number of stories. This was the second in that series and a damned better one than _Dragonsdawn_.
The people of Pern were fast loosing all knowledge of their history and while the teachers still taught the tales of Earth and the Federated Sentient Planets both were irrelevant to the lives the people had to live and it was time to massively prune the curriculum.
