Summary: Put the book down and no one gets hurt
Review: `Okay, let's get one thing straight: I lived and breathed Pern for a great deal of my life. I have to recommend that all fans look long and hard at the slew of latter day Pern books, though, and consider making the hard decision to skip them. This is just such a book -- along with the incredibly disappointing book that showed the "first founders" of Pern and all the lame origins for things like the grubs, the dragons, the name of the holds, and so on, this only makes you scratch your head and`` think how the mighty have fallen. This book did not need to be written and does not need to be read. No, for my money, Pern fans should stick with the first three books, the Harper hall series (Pemur and Menolly), and All the Weyrs of Pern. Whatever you do, skip the lame books like Renegades of Pern (shudder) and this one.`
