The planet Pern has been colonized for centuries by humans. When humans first settled on this world, they did not take notice of its sister planet, which had an indigenous life form that attempted to land on Pern when it came within reach. These silver "threads" fell in a destructive wave on the temperate lands of Pern once every 200 years, destroying all life they encountered. To combat this menace, the inhabitants of Pern developed a species of dragon that could burn these threads out of the sky before they touched down. Now, centuries have passed between threadfalls, and the danger of thread is considered a myth. However, a dragon rider named F'lar knows that the riders are once again needed.

One of my favorite books of all time, really. A bit of a young adult book, but fast, enjoyable, and enough pain to make it a bit bumpy sometimes.

Finally got there!

I've been wanting to get into the Dragonriders of Pern series for quite some time, and tried on many occasions, starting various books. This is one of the reasons I've started in the 'wrong' place. Given the fact there was definitely some lore I felt I was missing which was probably given in the earlier three books. But saying that none of what I didn't know spoiled my enjoyment of this book. I got totally emersed in the world of Pern and look forward to returning.

Over the years I have heard great things about this series, but just never got around to it. I finally picked up this book, and now I see what everyone was talking about. It was fantastic!!!! Pern has lived in fear of the Thread for centuries. During threadfall, it falls from the sky and anyone or anything in its path will be burnt up. The main thing that can stop it is fire. So the dragonriders mount up and stop it every threadfall. Living in her sea hold, Menolly doesn't worry much about the thread. All she wants is to become a Harper and create her own songs to sing. But, girls can't be harpers. According to her father, she is a disgrace. With nothing left to lose, she leaves her hold and starts a new life in a cave. Tons of adventures are in store for her! This book was great! I love Menolly and wanted to kick her dad's a** for the way he acted.
