The sequel to 'Dragon's Time',by the New York Times bestselling mother and son team of Anne McCaffrey and Todd McCaffrey.After a vicious plague swept through the world of Pern,there are no longer enough dragons to fight off the currentonslaught of Thread,the deadly spore that falls like rain from the skies and devours everything organic in its path.Pern's last chance to rebuild the decimated dragon population lies with a group of young dragonriders and their dragons,left stranded on an unexplored island.Leadership of these dragons and riders falls to Xhinna,female rider of the blue dragon Tazith,who,as the most experienced dragonrider in the new Weyr,becomes Pern's first female wingleader.Not everyone is ready to accept a female wingleader and Xhinna must battle to earn their respect,as well as protecting the precious dragon eggs from the lethal Mrreowsand voracious tunnel-snakes.Some of her newfangled ideas,like letting green dragons mate and lay eggs to hatch new dragons causes uproar.All the while she must protect her people and baby dragons from the predators and,worse,traitors,or all hope for Pern will be lost . . .

[SR: 3038954], Gebundene Ausgabe, [EAN: 9780593066218], Bantam Press, Bantam Press, Book, [PU: Bantam Press], 2012-07-05, Bantam Press, Anne McCaffrey's Pern series has been running successfully for so long that most of the Dragonriders' original problems have been solved; inThe 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 rumours. 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... One of the reasons why Anne McCaffrey's tales of a lost colony declined into feudalism and of genetically engineered dragons have always been, ultimately, sf rather than fantasy is that 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., 67216011, Populäre Belletristik, 67221011, Action & Abenteuer, 67916011, Anthologien, 67220011, Buch zum Film, 67923011, Familiensagen, 67924011, Historisch, 67223011, Horror, 67926011, Krieg, 273042011, Medizin, 273043011, Metaphysisch, 67925011, Männerabenteuer, 67219011, Märchen, 67217011, Politisch, 55229011, Religion & Esoterik, 65642011, Schwul & Lesbisch, 1322750031, Seeabenteuer, 67218011, Sport, 67927011, Western, 66034011, Belletristik, 54071011, Genres, 52044011, Fremdsprachige Bücher, 58105011, Abenteuer, 58104011, Science Fiction, 57127011, Fantasy & Science Fiction, 54071011, Genres, 52044011, Fremdsprachige Bücher<
