Another Turn, and the deadly silver Threads began falling again. So the bold dragonriders took to the air once more and their magnificent flying dragons swirled and swooped, belching flames that destroyed the shimmering strands before they reach the ground.

But F'lar knew he had to find a better way to protect his beloved Pern, and he had to find it before the rebellious Oldtimers could breed anymore dissent... before his brother F'nor would be foolhardy enough to launch another suicide mission... and before those dratted fire-lizards could stir up any more trouble!

Lui leader carismatico, lei abile nelle trattative, insieme cercano di combattere le antiche tradizioni per dare ai pernesi armi più efficaci contro i terribili Fili - organismi filiformi ed estremamente voraci che distruggono forme di vita vegetali e animali - e una qualità della vita migliore. Una battaglia tutt'altro che semplice, in cui si scontrano convinzioni anacronistiche, interessi personali, lotte per il potere e necessità di cambiamento.

Ad aiutarli c'è il fedele F'nor, irresistibile fratellastro di F'lar. Il mio desiderio si è esaudito e in questo volume è molto più presente - e vi farà penare parecchio, insieme a Brekke, promettente Dama del Weyr. Più gioviale e …
