It is thirty-two turns into what will be the final Pass of the Thread since the Red Star changed its orbit. Never again will Threadfall ravage the world of Pern. But there are further dangers threatening as those calling themselves the Abominators attempt to destroy what they, in their twisted thinking, feel should not be permitted to sully their world. In a series of attacks on Healer Halls, the Abominators strike, leaving chaos.In all the Weyrs, Holds and Halls there are only a handful who realise that danger still exists above the planet, and that all the Dragonriders have achieved could be laid waste in a final, terrible moment.

Industry Reviews

McCaffrey has had such a distinguished career in the fantasy field that her enthusiasts are more than ready to forgive the odd by-the-numbers title. But her Pern and Dragon series clearly brings out the very best in this most resourceful of writers, and this new novel is well up to par. The dragons of Pern have altered the threatening orbit of the Red Star and society is on the brink of a new golden age. As the contribution of the dragons appears to be over, so is the role of their riders. Needless to say, the riders are soon called upon afresh as a new menace called the Abominators attempts to plunge Pern back into a new dark age. Perhaps this isn't the best book for those new to McCaffrey, as she assumes a considerable knowledge of the previous ones in the series. But for those tuned in, all the familiar (and satisfying) fingerprints are here, with the customary set-piece action scenes bursting with colour.
