DESCRIPTION:
These fundamentalist Abominators are sure that something terrible will happen if the old ways are not gone back to--and sure enough, fire descends, on cue, from the skies. Anne McCaffrey's Pern series has been running successfully for so long that most of the Dragonriders' original problems have been solved. --. In The Skies of Pern, she confronts her standard cast of characters with the consequences of those solutions, consequences that are a whole new set of problems. Anne McCaffrey's tales of genetically engineered dragons and a lost colony that has declined into feudalism are ultimately SF rather than fantasy because they are about finding solutions to problems, solutions that involve working with what you are given to start off with; The Skies of Pern is all about elegant solutions to credible problems. Now that the Red Star has been pushed to another orbit, there will only be a
From the New York Times bestselling mother-and-son team of Anne McCaffrey and Todd McCaffrey comes the final installment in the riveting Pern saga that began with Todd’s solo novel Dragonsblood. But as the first female rider of a blue dragon, and the first female Weyrleader in the history of Pern, Xhinna faces an uphill battle in winning the respect and loyalty of her peers…especially after an unforeseen tragedy leaves the struggling colony reeling from a shattering loss.Amid the grieving, one girl, Jirana, blessed—or cursed—with the ability to foresee potential futures, will help Xhinna find a way forward.

She worked on this one with her son Todd, but the characters are not as richly woven and the plot is very tough to understand at some points. I am a long time Pern fan and read ALL of the former books in the series, and I found myself LOST in the first two chapters. In past books, Ann. Kindle Customer said Sadly Bad. The worst story from the World of Pern and it saddens me. I didn't think I had to read reviews before buying a book with Ann McCaffrey's name on it. It is obviously not Ann McCaffrey's writing. The book is poorly written, frustrating, confusing, and a major disappointment. I kept rereading unable to determine who was who from where or when. I would not have believed the reviews and bought the bo. I really wanted to like this book I've been a fan of Anne and now Todd's world of Pern since I was 8 years old. I grew up with stories of Lessa and Menolly. I even shed a tear when I read that Masterharper Robinton died in "All the Weirs of Pern". The planet and the characters were so alive to me that I felt that I knew them.However, the last trilogy which culminated in Sky Dragons, left me disappointed and oft-times confused. T
