All the Weyrs of Pern - Introduction and Prologue

So this is interesting! For the first time in a while, I've hit a Pern book that I've actually read before. I don't remember much about it, but I don't remember hating it either.

It's definitely sci-fi. I tend to think that it had to be. If we're going to see the end of a threat like Thread, we're going need more firepower. And as this isn't a universe with strong magic, we're going to have to go back to the roots of the setting.

Of course, it's hard to imagine what story they'd have after the defeat of Thread and the reintroduction of sci-fi elements, but apparently they did manage it. I think this is the last book I personally read though...except for Masterharper of Pern. Ugh. Well, we'll get there.

Anyway, let's see how this one goes!

Unfortunately, I do remember a lot of Jaxom and Robinton... )
