The Red star that has plaque those on Pern has been moved into a harmless orbit, and the current Threadfall will be the last. Technology is changing the very structure of Pern society. The dragonriders must find themselves a new way to make themselves useful. And they are diligently working toward that. But not everyone on Pern views the change as good. There are some that will stop at nothing to keep Pern in the old ways.
Then once again a formidable danger threatens Pern. And once again Pern looks to the dragonriders to answer the call. Will F'lessen and his new friend Tia be able to survive the tragedy foreshadowing them?
I enjoyed this book but I feel in some ways that moving ahead with technology, the world of Pern loses some of it's charm for me. I don't want them to be completely devoid of it but what drew me to the Pern series in the first place was well the rustic charm of the world. I absolutely loved the F'lessen and Tia story line.
I will continue to read Anne's last books and her son Todd's continuation on - as I believe he wrote more going BACK and fleshing out the timeline. This book was meant to be more of the final of the timeline - not that they couldn't write more, but when you read the last bit of the book and the final page it "feels" more like a finale.
