Description
On the planet Pern, a paradise for its new colonists turned into hell when deadly spores began falling from the sky. The colony was cut off from Earth and lacked resources to combat the menace, leading to a desperate situation.
The small, dragonlike lizards that inhabited the world were noticed joining the fight against Thread, breathing fire on it and teleporting to safety. If only they were big enough for humans to ride and intelligent enough to work as a team with riders, Pern's colonists thought. To create these creatures, the colony set their most talented geneticist to work.
The result was Dragons, the very beings that would change the course of Pern's history and save its people from extinction.
