The long-awaited new Dragonriders of Pern® novel
from bestselling author Anne McCaffrey
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 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 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 . . .
“McCaffrey’s sexy and cunning dragons carry the day–and the novel–with impeccable, irresistible panache.”

Amazon.com Review
Anne McCaffrey's Pern series has been running successfully for so long that most of the Dragonriders' original problems have been solved. In The Skies of Pern, she confronts her standard cast of characters with the consequences of those solutions, consequences that are a whole new set of problems. Now that the Red Star has been pushed to another orbit, there will only be a few more ravenous Threads descending from it for them and their dragons to fight--and what role will that leave for them? They have successfully reclaimed Earth's lost technology--and suddenly everyone with a craft that might be outmoded, or who is phobic about surgery, is on the rampage, sabotaging and smashing and making up rumors. These fundamentalist Abominators are sure that something terrible will happen if the old ways are not gone back to--and sure enough, fire descends, on cue, from the skies.
Anne McCaffrey's tales of genetically engineered dragons and a lost colony that has declined into feudalism are ultimately SF rather than fantasy because they are about finding solutions to problems, solutions that involve working with what you are given to start off with; The Skies of Pern is all about elegant solutions to credible problems. --Amazon.co.uk
From Publishers Weekly
Bestseller McCaffrey's first Pern novel in three years returns to the world of her most popular series, Dragonriders of Pern, reprising almost all the best-loved Pernese characters. In earlier episodes, hero and heroine F'lar and Lessa summoned the captivating dragons and their riders from the remote past to save Pern from a devastating rain of Thread, while the later discovery of Aivas, the artificial intelligence that guided Pern's original human settlers, brought technological marvels like printing to Pern and helped shift the Thread-producing Red Star from its lethal orbit before it self-destructed. Now neo-Luddite Abominators are bent on destroying all of Aivas's gifts and returning watery Pern to its primitive state, while the Dragonriders struggle to find new purpose in a Threadless world. F'lar and Lessa uneasily contemplate second careers or horrors! retirement, while their genteel and amorous son F'lessan and perceptive green rider Tai arrive at both a dragon-assisted romance and a whole new role for the telepathic and telekinetic dragons. McCaffrey's various themes traditionalism vs. technology, the necessity of societal change, feminist commentary on draconian psychology are at times awkwardly integrated. And her slightly watered-down villains seem peripheral to the action, merely a means to showcase familiar personalities performing during crises. Nonetheless, as all her Pern novels amply demonstrate, McCaffrey's sexy and cunning dragons carry the day and the novel with impeccable, irresistible panache. (Apr. 3) Forecast: A likely genre bestseller, but some younger Pern fans may be put off by the emphasis on retirement, unable to appreciate the angst of inexorably approaching age.

With the discovery of Aivas, the artificial intelligence hidden for centuries in Pern's southern continent, the residents of the third planet of the sun called Rukbat have learned how to end the threat posed by the periodic fall of Thread from the erratic red star that orbits the planet. Despite the abundance of rediscovered knowledge, new dangers and old fears surface, forcing Dragonriders, Holders, and Craftmasters all to reconsider their purpose and functions in society. McCaffrey's most popular series takes on a new dimension with the latest installment, as familiar characters feel the weight of their years, giving way to a new generation of humans and their dragon companions. Superb storytelling and engaging characters make this a priority purchase for most libraries.

Stop Sending This Man Your Money
By Lin S
It is time for all Pern readers to face facts: Anne has not been writing these books for about 10 years, and, given her recent passing, never will again.
This series is all Todd's. It is his baby and his world. It may be called 'Pern' and have watchwhers and queens and thread and such, but this is Todd's story. It is not Anne's.
And Todd is one of the worst writers I have ever read.
Where do I start? Should I focus this review on the excessive and disgusting focus Todd has on 13-year olds having sex with each other? How about the constant bedhopping with the level of consideration that most people give their breakfast cereal? Perhaps I should focus on the complete lack of scientific rational? How about the repetitive covers and terribly un-flattering photograph of the author (and his mother)? Maybe the complete lack of editing ? Oh, I know. None of those.
Let's focus on Todd's complete inability to write a coherent storyline. His stories make little to no sense. Characters are introduced and forgotten constantly. We could fill a village with all the minor characters that were introduced as major characters, but forgotten about within a couple pages. This is not helped by everyone having short, 2-syllable names that all sound alike. For females we have Halla and Pella and Fiona and Lorana and Xyhra and Morena and Nuella and Hesha and Shela and Jirana and Suella and Spelt. For males, we have K'dan and F'nor and R'gad and P'tat and D'gan and Z'qig and S'pit and... oh I can't go on. There are hundreds of characters at this point. Who can keep them straight? (PS. not all of those I listed are real, but who can tell?)
It is hard to call Todd's books a 'series' in the classical sense that one book leads into the next in some sort of logical fashion. His books are all over the place. This one will have a dragon plague. Next, thread will fall. Next, something incoherent about the shunned and exploding firestone. Next book, sleeping arrangements! Next book, more plague. Next book, we are going to worship pregnant women.... There is no common thread, nothing holding these books together aside from a few characters that appear throughout. Is there ever supposed to be an ending?
And you know what? Even when something is TRYING to happen (plague infects the weyr or thread falls on Pern), it is forgotten within a page or two so Todd can get back to writing about absurd minutiae like pottery classes and what's for dinner today and traveling and scenery and history and who's sleeping with who (his perennial favorite). The dragons rarely speak and never do anything of substance aside from fly about and go between like the most obedient of horses. Most of the books have no climax whatsoever. I'm not even sure Todd can write a decent climax!
I just realized I didn't talk about Sky Dragon at all. Well, what can I say that is positive? Uh.... Let's think.... Well.... it is almost 400 pages. I suppose it could be longer. So thank you, Todd, for keeping this one short.
So, in summary, stop sending this man your hard earned money. He is not an author and does not deserve the name McCaffrey.
If you really need to read these books, join me in visiting your local library, reading 50 pages, and returning them early so some other poor sap can get their fix as well.

So disappointing...
By DJJ
I LOVE Pern and I've enjoyed Todd McCaffrey's series quite a bit. In fact, I even reread Dragon's Time so that I would be ready for the last novel of this series - setting me up to find out what happened when D'Gan returned and squared off with Fiona and how Lorana was going to perish since that was HEAVILY hinted about in Dragon's Time. I opened my book and started to read...about Xhinnia. Kindan, now K'dan, Fionia, and Lorana are barely mentioned and instead I'm learning about how everyone loves everybody over and over again. And over again. I suppose it would be more important to me if Xhinnia had been treated as anything but an afterthought in the previous novels. I also remember that children were mentioned in the Anne McCaffrey novels but now they are EVERYTHING! Meanwhile, the D'Gan/Fiona showdown was only mentioned as a conversation and Lorana was around at the end - hard to tell since she was barely discussed! I will forgive Todd McCaffrey if there is another novel that ties up the loose ends from Dragon's Time - because they definitely were not this time around.

Disappointing
By SamsNona
One of my favorite things to do is to tell my husband, "I know you'll miss me but I'm going to Pern." There I would stay until it was time to come home. I had this automatically down loaded. Curled up and then...
I had to reread the first few pages several times to try to meet and remember the characters, strangers kept popping up. Even harder to follow when the names are contracted and similar. What happened that sexual orientation became an issue on Pern? Who cares? What did it lend to the plot? Less than 5 times have I closed a book and quit reading. I had to add this to the list. So disappointing to have waited and been let down.
