DESCRIPTION:
Life is particularly tough for Halla. As depraved as Halla is good, Tenim is in league with Tarik, a crooked miner from Camp Natalon, who helps him steal coal in exchange for a cut of the profit. When the last remaining firestone mine explodes in flames, a desperate race begins to find a new deposit of the deadly but essential mineral, for without it there can be no defense against Thread. But Tenim has a murderous plan to turn tragedy to his own advantage, and only Pellar, Halla, and Cristov can stop him - and ensure that there will be a future for all on the world of the Dragonriders.. Her family gone, she must fend for herself. Though innocent of their parents’ crimes, these children have inhe

With Anne's death I was hoping that Todd, could write more convincingly in the world of Pern, but it just doesn't seems to be possible.Or maybe it is just easier to imitate the Pooh stories or e
Accompanied by his new fire-lizard Chitter, Pellar joins Masterharper Zist in a search for Moran, a missing Journeyman Harper who's involved with the Shunned. Pellar finds his fate intertwined with Halla, but his tangle with Tenim, a ruthless thief, almost keeps them apart. . (July)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. From Publishers Weekly The McCaffreys' second fire-breathing collaboration (after 2003's Dragon's Kin) again proves why these fabled dragons still cast a spell. Pellar, a mute Apprentice Harper; Halla, a homeless girl; and Cristov, a miner's son, learn invaluable life lessons as the planet Pern prepares for the return of the deadly Red Star and its annihilating "Thread," which can only be destroyed by firestone-fueled dragonfire. While it allegorizes the risks of mining fossil fuels and the horror
