Book Description:
For generations, the dragonriders had dedicated their lives to fighting Thread, the dreaded spores that periodically rained from the sky to ravage the land. On the backs of their magnificent telepathic dragons they flew to flame the deadly stuff out of the air before it could reach the planet's surface. But the greatest dream of the dragonriders was to find a way to eradicate Thread completely, so that never again would their beloved Pern be threatened with destruction.
Now, for the first time, it looked as if that dream could come true. For when the people of Pern, led by Masterharper Robinton and Flar and Lessa, Weyrleader and Weyrwoman of Benden Weyr, excavated the ancient remains of the planet's original settlement, they uncovered the colonists' voice activated artificial intelligence system-which still functioned! And the computer had incredible news for them: There was a chance-a good chance-that they could, at long last, annihilate Thread once and for all!

A. G. B. (This is the book that "ties up" the activities of ridding Pern of the Thread. AIVIS, the artificial intelligence that ran the colony ships that took the original settlers to Pern was found in a previous book and over the several thousand or so years since Landing has finally figured out how to stop Thread-fall from devasting Pern and this is the adventures leading up to that occurance. It has all our favourites from previous books and even introduces one or two new ones.
For all followers and fans of Pern this is a MUST READ.
Cheryl (Toni) J. (The dream of generations of Dragonriders draws within reach as, with the aid of an intelligent computer, the possibility of destroying the devastating phenomenon known as "Thread" becomes a reality. Having exposed Pern's civilization to technology in Renegades of Pern, McCaffrey proceeds with her customary skill and humor to explore all the ramifications of culture shock.
I must be one of the weirder fantasy lovers, but I'm not a big fan of the Pern series.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
For generations, dragonriders had dedicated their lives to fighting Thread, the dreaded spores that rained from the sky to ravage the land. Now Masterharper Robinton and F'Lar and Lessa, Weyrleader and Weyrwoman of Benden Weyr, have excavated Pern's original settlement, uncovering a computer that has news for them: they can annihilate Thread forever!
Sharron A. (Fills in a few blanks in the story line that you might have missed in the other dozens of Pern novels.
Another book my cousin loved, though I've not read it....
Basically the follow-up of the original trilogy, goes in-depth into what happens after the events of "The White Dragon". But best to read the other books published in between those two, at least "Dragonsdawn".
