Review # 1 was written on 2018-09-02 00:00:00 Leslie Gutierrez The leaders of Pern discover technology from their ancestors that landed and made Pern their home. Finding the landing site has given them access to a computer with a ton of knowledge. They learn new ways of doing things and above all, they are on their way to becoming thread free in the future. It is interesting to see how everyone on Pern reacts to the new unearthed computer.Some embrace the new ways of thinking and doing things. Others think of this as an evil abomination and do everything they can to get rid of it. This book focuses on the struggles within the society, the enhancements that come out of learning such new and inventive things and doing what they can to move the red planet so that thread will not fall in Pern's future. Very enjoyable with an extremely sad ending that had me crying. I've become very attached to these characters. I'm almost to the end with only two more to go to finish this series reading them in chronological order. This was a fantastic addition to the series.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-04-02 00:00:00 Daria Hargreaves During the reading of this book, I couldn't put it down. At the end, I basically wanted to throw it across the room, cry out my hate of it and pretend I'd never read it. That being said, it wasn't because I hated the book itself. I hated the irrevocably sad ending that nearly left me in tears. I don't normally get that way with most books, but I had become attached to Robinton. They have done what they set out to do in the beginning of the series- destroy the threat of "Thread". However, this has fundamentally changed the Pernese society in that the AI they uncovered of the first settlers begins what could be considered a minor industrial "re-revolution". Many Holders were reluctant at first, though some held on to that reluctance to the point of blatantly attempting to sabotage the efforts of AIVAS and those who were learning from...him/it. In great courage, as always, Jaxom and the white dragon Ruth come through in the end with all the weyrs of Pern to do what must be done. I only wish that Anne McCaffrey were still alive to write more.
