In a return to Anne McCaffrey's Pern, this story parallels "Dragon's Kin", her first novel with son Todd. This story continues the look at the use of watchwhers, the dark-loving kin to dragons, and takes a look at how a non-technological society has to deal with the worst of its criminals, with a side-trip to deal with the mining and use of firestone, the essential ingredient for dragons to produce flame to fight thread.

Interesting for those who want a fuller look at Pern society, but needs to be read after "Dragon's Kin."

Dragon's Fire continues the saga of the Dragonriders of Pern. Just like his mother before him, Todd McCaffrey is an excellent writer. He seamlessly continues in his mother's footsteps, or pen steps as the case may be. If you like Anne McCaffrey and her Dragonriders, you will love Todd McCaffrey's books.

Todd McCaffrey writes as well as his mother.

It is obvious that Todd shares his mother's vision and talent! This book is a look at a different facet of life on Pern. I'm enjoying these books.

Disappointing. Too much jumping from character to character. I did not bond with any characters enough to care about them much.

Have loved Anne McCaffrey's dragon books for 30 years, and this one was right up to the mark!
