Summary
A new hero emerges in a divided world as one of sci-fi’s most beloved series - Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern - relaunches with this original adventure from Anne’s daughter, Gigi McCaffrey.
In honor of the fiftieth anniversary of the Dragonriders of Pern series, Gigi does her mother proud, adding to the family tradition of spinning unputdownable tales that recount the adventures of the brave inhabitants of a distant planet who battle the pitiless adversary known as Thread.
The last time Thread attacked Pern, the world was unprepared for the fight - until the Oldtimers appeared. These courageous dragonriders arrived from the past, traveling four hundred years to help their descendants survive. But the collision of past and present took its toll. While most of the displaced rescuers adapted to their new reality, others could not abide the jarring change and found themselves in soul-crushing exile, where unhappiness and resentment seethed.
Piemur, a journeyman harper, also feels displaced, cast adrift by the loss of his spectacular boyhood voice and uncertain of his future. But when the Masterharper of Pern sees promise in the young man and sends him undercover among the exiled Oldtimers, Piemur senses the looming catastrophe that threatens the balance of power between the Weyrs and Holds of Pern.
When the unthinkable happens, Piemur must rise to the challenge to avert disaster and restore honor to the dragons and dragonriders of Pern. Because now, in a world already beset by Thread, another, more insidious danger looms: For the first time in living memory, dragons may be on the verge of fighting dragons.

Looks like Anne is still here.
It seems as though Anne is still writing the story because there is the same writing style, and it shows.

A fair addition to Pernese history.
Taken between other stories this book covers Journeyman harper Piemur as he struggles to find his own place in a world struggling to find a place for those losing their way.
The performance feels a little clipped in places and I'm not a massive fan of some of the accents presented but if you are a fan of the pern series this is a worthy book. Especially if you were a fan of the harper Hall trilogy.

Re-engaging with an old friend
It has been many years since we first saw Piemur. He has always been an engaging character, but this story takes that further. We experience his growth as a person and see the depth of his compassion for the Old-timer dragons. He is a genuine hero of Pern who Gigi McCaffrey fleshes out in a truly fitting style.
The narration was also very easy to listen to. Well done!

Pie and Noll?
For the most part this is as good as the best of Anne’s Pern books, what ruined it was a strange feeling of reading fanfiction, suddenly Piemur is Pie and Menolly is Noll or something like that, just, NO.
So, most likely never trying another Pern book from Gigi, should she write one.

Watch the narrator
Another lovely episode following the Pernese people and their dragons.
sadly I felt the narrator was was lacking kn his knowledge of the story.
Since this is a newly released book I felt it would have been a good idea for him to listen to some of the other books already released. His pronunciation of the characters names and the dragon names was different to the other audible books. I understand that each person sounds them out differently as they read them but in this case a precedent had been set by 2 different narrators, it would have been good to have a continuation of the same pronunciation.
Other wise the story had the same flow as if written by Anne MCCaffrey herself

a lovely echo of my younget dats
To be back in Pern, for me, was like re visiting a beloved place and time. I had all of Anne McCaffrets dragon books at one time and her daughter has obviously taken up the dragon reins to a wonderfully nostalgic echo. The story was a little weak, but the characters were just as strong, and the dragons flew wonderfully for me again. Well done, your mum should be so proud!!

Pern
Fantastic story. Wonderful continuation of the wonderful tales of Pern. Exciting story all around the Harpers but especially Piemur who is learning the loss of his youthful voice is only the beginning of the rest of his story.
