Colonists from Earth set out to protect their new home, Pern, from the deadly spores that fall from the sky and devour everything in their path. Fantasy fiction from one of my favorite authors.

My favorite Pern book, hands down. It focuses on different characters in the Landing party without getting jumbled, and weaves them together in unexpected ways. I love the antics of Sorka and Sean, and it is so much fun to watch them grow - seeing how they mature and how they don't. ;) This book will also tug at your heartstrings with the story of Sallah Telgar and others. All around an interesting, diverse read.
Read it now. :D

The first book in the story of Pern - The landing, creating dragons -- Very good.
The book that tells how Pern, and those amazing dragons, began. All the Pern books are wonderful. This one isn't my favorite, but I do like how it explains the origin of the dragons and various parts of the Pernese government and structure.
This is a great book and I love the Pern books.
According to an "official" guide, this book is #9 of 16.
