About this title

Review:

A new novel which continues the epic saga of the dragons of Pern by the celebrated SF writer and her son. This is the first new Pern book since The Skies of Pern in 2001, and depicts that amazing world of humans and great telepathic dragons. Kindan, a young man, helps his father in the coal mining settlement of Camp Natalon. The camp has a watchwher, a distant relation of dragons, and Kindan assists his father in looking after the creature. However, in one awful moment everything goes wrong and Kindan loses his family and the camp's new harper and discovers his own musical talent. He starts a friendship with a mysterious girl called Nuella. It is a story full of good things and always wonderfully inventive. A sure-fire new bestseller.
