Now that Pern can look forward to a future without the threat of Threadfall, the people are free to leave their protective stone holds and spread across more of the planet, as well as improve their lives with the newly discovered ancient technology. Not everyone is happy, though. Some resist the change, and consider anything new to be an "abomination". And the dragonriders are uncertain without Thread, what will their purpose be in Pernese society?
Then a new danger - again from the skies - looms. Once again, the people must pull together...And turn to the only ones who can solve the crisis the dragonriders of Pern!
The Skies of Pern Dragonriders of Pern (Audible Audio Edition) Anne McCaffrey Dick Hill Brilliance Audio Books
I wanted "The Skies of Pern" in paperback, and chose the cheaper option on the search list which happened to include Kindle. When I selected the paperback option, the book offered was changed to "Sky Dragons". I did not want this book and I don't particularly like reading Todd's work to be completely honest (so I might be biased against his writing).I attempted to read this book and could not get past chapter 2 because of how dramatic and choppy the story line was. Within what I read I noticed there was a lack of continuity checks, such as Timing. In the earlier books a big deal was made about flying between times too close or too much made people unstable but in "Sky Dragons" none of the characters seemed phased at being in 3 times at once. The book was written as if the reader already knew all the characters, which I understand it is a sequel volume but suddenly introducing a character into a scene with no prior knowledge of them is confusing.

The Skies of Pern Dragonriders of Pern (Audible Audio Edition) Anne McCaffrey Dick Hill Brilliance Audio Books Reviews
I have read every book McCaffrey has written. It takes a real wordsmith to make me want to read everything someone has authored and that is what McCaffrey is - a wonderful wordsmith. I have all of her books in print and many in digital format. I read them when each one was released in paperback and am so enjoying rereading these tomes. Her books draw you into the worlds she creates - as a non-author I am truly amazed that someone can do that with only the written word. The Skies of Pern is a well done conclusion to the the series. I liked the part where the dragon riders have found a new craft and hold now that read threat of "threads" has been resolved. My only negative is that McCaffrey has passed and will no longer produce wonderful worlds to explore.
The worst story from the World of Pern and it saddens me. I didn't think I had to read reviews before buying a book with Ann McCaffrey's name on it. It is obviously not Ann McCaffrey's writing. The book is poorly written, frustrating, confusing, and a major disappointment. I kept rereading unable to determine who was who from where or when. I would not have believed the reviews and bought the book anyway based on good faith. Shame on the publishers and editors for their failure to honor McCaffrey in their greedy rush to send this awful book to an adoring public.
This one was actually written by Todd McCaffrey. He doesn't have his mother's flair for character development. Also I found the story line very confusing, never could keep up with what time frame the characters were in.
I SO wanted to give this book five stars. Five stars because I miss Anne McCaffrey and she showed a different way to depict women in science fiction. Five Stars because I got to go back to Pern and enjoy the dragons and dolphins. But I just couldn't.
Had I read this a long while ago when my eyes were still good, I might have given a higher rating. I wouldn't have had to listen to the narrator, Dick Hill's version of the story. Ugh! He makes all the women sound like weak whiners. Even Lessa, who is supposed to be a strong leader, Mr. Hill diminishes with his vocal characterization. But there was no text-to-speech so I was stuck with his voice. And there is no loanability for these books. What the Heck! Poor people want to read, too!
But maybe Dick was only working with what was there? Did our dear Ms. McCaffrey write the book with the male heaviness I felt? I just wasn't happy with how it progressed. It took me much longer to read, just because it didn't pull at me like, say, her Harper Hall books did. Okay. I did read most of this series about twenty-four years ago. Whew! That is a long time ago!
It was only near the end of reading this book that I realized that this was the last solo book of the series. I will now have to look up the continuation written with her son, Todd or those he wrote alone. I have a few sitting here, but I will have to find the versions and Audibles to get by.
SO as much as I miss our dear Anne McCaffrey and her love and talent, I have to stay truthful. This just wasn't my favorite Pern.
Sadly, this last installation of Pern does not live up to Anne McCaffrey's earlier ones. I am so sad she passed. She worked on this one with her son Todd, but the characters are not as richly woven and the plot is very tough to understand at some points. I am a long time Pern fan and read ALL of the former books in the series, and I found myself LOST in the first two chapters. In past books, Anne was careful to make sure that both new readers and long time readers were up to speed before diving into too many details, not the case in this one, so sadly. I stuck it out, but found the book disappointing in too many ways. If you are a die-hard McCaffrey fan, of course, you must read it, but wait till it comes out in paperback!
Rest in Peace Anne McCaffrey...you gave us all a world of dragons and harpers to love and live in...we'll be forever grateful!
It’s been a few years since AIVAS self terminated and the mission to move the Red Star is complete. The dragonriders aren’t sure what use they will be after this Turn is over then a very large meteor hits the water between the islands, causing tidal waves that flood the coast. Everyone wants to know what the dragonriders are going to do about it. Tia’s dragon has learned to use telekinesis
