What emerges is a profoundly contemporary exploration of the American experience as one family embodies it: our heritage of violence, our chronic restlessness and desire for regeneration through technology, and the impossibility of escaping the history that forms us and, always, demands a reckoning.…

Condition: Good. "Personable characters and superb storytelling make this an excellent choice. . . . Essential for Pern fans of all ages."--Library Journal (starred review) The son of a miner, Kindan has no expectations for any other life. He loves his lessons with the camp's harper, but music isn't part of a miner's future. He also enjoys helping out with the camp's watch-wher-- a creature distantly related to dragons and uniquely suited to work in dark, cold spaces--but even that important job can't promise a future above the ground. Then disaster strikes. In one terrible instant, Kindan loses his family and the camp loses its watch-wher.

"A guaranteed pleaser [in] one of SF's most splendid and longest-lived sagas."--Booklist "Another delightful entry in the Pern series."--Publishers Weekly.…
