Description
Many generations ago, on flourishing Pern, a planet like Earth around the yellow star Rakbat, settlers from Earth landed. The new world looked like paradise, and the newcomers from Earth established a colony in this paradise. Who could have known that around Pern, moving along an elongated elliptical orbit, travels the Scarlet Star—a small red planet that, every two hundred years, as it draws near to Pern, drops silvery Threads into its atmosphere—spores that destroy all life. The only salvation from a scourge that comes to the planet from outer space is fire lizards—winged reptiles that breathe fire from their mouths and burn the deadly Threads. Over time, descendants of the Earth settlers bred enormous dragons from these creatures to protect the planet, and each dragon has a rider—a human who possesses a strong mental bond with its winged comrade…
In the trilogy about the harper Menolly, which continues the “Pern series,” we learn about the difficult path of the owner of a wonderful gift—one that, through songs and melodies that reach into the heart, can influence people’s actions and, as a result, the future of the planet.
In 2026, the world’s reading community marks the centennial of the author’s birth, and this edition is dedicated to that momentous occasion.
