Description To Books Dragonseye (Pern #14)
In Anne McCaffrey's New York Times bestselling DRAGONSEYE,join Weyrleaders, Holders, and Craftmasters in the creation of the legendary Star Stones and the teaching ballads of Pern!
It's been two-hundred years since the deadly Thread fell like rain upon Pern, devouring everything in its path. No one alive remembers that first horrific onslaught and no one believes in its return--except for the dragonriders. For two centuries they have been practicing and training, passing down from generation to generation the formidable Threadfighting techniques.
Now the ominous signs are appearing: the violent winter storms and volcanic eruptions that are said to herald the approach of the Red Star and its lethal spawn. But one stubborn Lord Holder, Chalkin of Bitra, refuses to believe--and that disbelief could spell disaster. So as the dragonriders desperately train to face a terrifying enemy, they and the other Lord Holders must find a way to deal with Chalkin--before history repeats itself and unleashes its virulence on all of Pern. . . .

Peen is preparing for the Second Pass of the Red Star. Everyone is gearing up for the return of Thread, except for Chalkin of Bitra. What will the Weyrleaders and Lord Holders do to make him prepare his Hold?At the College, Clisser realizes that Pern needs a new system of education, one grounded in what is important on Pern, not on long-forgotten Earth. Accordingly, he sets out to change how and what people are taught, especially how to know when a Pass is imminent. Once Thread begins to fall,I found this book laying around in my house and decided to give it a shot. Maybe it wasn't the best idea to start a series from the thirteenth (!) book, but I still did it.This novel tells a story about dolphins and their importance on the planet of Pern. Thorough out the book humans learn how intelligent dolphins are and how helpful they can be for the whole community.The annoying thing about this book was that it didn't really have one main character, but instead it jumped from one person to
This was published as Red Star Rising in the UK, a much better title in my opinion. I guess it didn't scream BUY ME I'M ABOUT DRAGONS enough to the American audience.Every Pern book I read, I wonder if it is going to be the last.

It is becoming a chore of epic proportions to get through each successive novel; this one was by far the worst yet.It is a familiar story at this point. Thread is on the way, and one

This is an interesting peek at Pern's Charter and what it entails, and how far a Lord Holder can go toward being a despot before something could be done, at least in the time frame of the story, some 250 years After Landing. We know from other books in the series that as time goes by the people of Pern forget that they started as a colony, and the Charter seems to be forgotten, as well, as generations go by.In this book, there's a terribly negligent and abusive Lord Holder, Chalkin of Bitra, who
InterestingI read this after the Dragon harper series and enjoyed the backstory to them. But there was a bit of jumping around.
Four starts because it was indeed above average. This is not the first time I read a summary of a Pern novel, thought it sounded boring, and was pleasantly impressed by the book. However, there were way too many characters in this book; I thought it was even worse than most of the others. I finished the book and I still don't know who many of them were! Regardless, it was a wonderful story that drew me in and made me wonder how everything would work out.And I do think Red Star Rising is a better
