The Skies of Pern
by
Anne McCaffrey
So they managed to push the Red Star out of its path and in about 16 years thread will stop falling forever. What will become of the Dragonriders? Will society on Pern cease to exist as it is now? The Abominators seem to think so and they try everything in their arsenal to stop the developments that Aivas has set into motion.
This is a stand-alone, although I am not sure how much sense it will make to someone who has not read any other Pern novels. I have been reading these books since I was a teenager and there are only 2 others I have not read yet, so for me this is like coming home to a good old friend—I know all the characters and their histories, I can pretty much anticipate what is going to happen and I can just enjoy the ride...
