Dragonquest (1971)

"Another Turn, and the deadly silver Threads began falling again. So the bold dragonriders took to the air once more, and their magnificent flying dragons swirled and swooped, belching flames that destroyed the shimmering strands before they reach the ground.
"But F'lar knew he had to find a better way to protect his beloved Pern, and he had to find it before the rebellious Oldtimers could breed anymore dissent....before his brother F'nor would be foolhardy enough to launch another suicide mission...and before those dratted fire-lizards could stir up any more trouble!" ( )

Re-read 2018 continues. :) ( )

Another Turn, and the deadly silver Thread continues to fall. The bold dragonriders take to the air once again flying their dragons and fighting thread by breathing flames to protect those below.

The old timers brought forward are causing dissent, Thread is no longer falling in predictable patterns, and they must find better ways to manage and save their home planet. ( )

Anne McCaffrey is the quintessential writer of fantasy books pertaining to dragons. These books are always wonderful, well written, and perfectly characterized. All of her series are great but the ones that take place on Pern are the best of all. A thoroughly fun and engaging read. ( )

The second in the series of The Dragon Riders of Pern series. *Sigh*, I wanted to love and be excited about this book, but it fell a little short for me. We got introduced to what seemed like hundreds of characters, and it was just to overwhelming at times. I will continue the series, sooner rather then latter. There's dragon's in the story-nothing could hold me back ( )
