In this triumphant return to Pern, Anne McCaffrey takes us on an adventure as surprising and unforgettable as any that has come before . . .
It is a time of hope and regret, of endings and beginnings. The Red Star, that celestial curse whose eccentric orbit was responsible for Thread, has been shifted to a harmless orbit, and the current Threadfall will be the last. Technological marvels are changing the face of life on Pern. And the dragonriders, led by F'lessan, son of F'lar and Lessa and rider of bronze Golanth, and Tia, rider of green Zaranth, must forge a new place for themselves in a world that may no longer need them.
But change is not easy for everyone. There are those who will stop at nothing—not even violence—to keep Pern and its people pure. And now a brand-new danger looms from the skies . . . and threatens a catastrophe of unimaginable proportions.
Once again, the world looks to the dragons and their riders to solve the crisis and save the world. But now, as the friendship of F'lessan and Tia begins to bloom into something more, unforeseen tragedy strikes: a tragedy destined to forever change the future—not just of the two young lovers, but of every human and dragon on Pern . . .

Zustand: Bueno. : En este emocionante regreso a Pern, Anne McCaffrey nos lleva a una aventura tan sorprendente e inolvidable como cualquiera de las anteriores. Es un tiempo de esperanza y arrepentimiento, de finales y comienzos. La Estrella Roja, esa maldición celestial cuya órbita excéntrica fue responsable de Thread, ha sido desplazada a una órbita inofensiva, y la actual Threadfall será la última. Las maravillas tecnológicas están cambiando la faz de la vida en Pern. Y los jinetes de dragones, liderados por F'lessan, hijo de F'lar y Lessa y jinete de bronce Golanth, y Tia, jinete de verde Zaranth, deben forjar un nuevo lugar para sí mismos en un mundo que ya no los necesita. Pero el cambio no es fácil para todos. Hay quienes no se detendrán ante nada, ni siquiera ante la violencia, para mantener a Pern y a su gente puros. Y ahora un nuevo peligro se cierne desde los cielos. y amenaza con una catástrofe de proporciones inimaginables. Una vez más, el mundo mira a los dragones y a sus jinetes para resolver la crisis y salvar el mundo. Pero ahora, cuando la amistad de F'lessan y Tia comienza a florecer en algo más, una tragedia imprevista golpea: una tragedia destinada a cambiar para siempre el futuro, no sólo de los dos jóvenes amantes, sino de cada humano y dragón en Pern.
