So good to see that Rita isn’t fooling everyone. Irene seems to be on Rick's side. Can’t wait to see what happens when the s**t hits the fan after the weekend.

This story is not always easy to read. It takes you through some very dark places, but is also filled with hope. I cried several times. The characters are very well written and even though I had other things I should have been doing, I kept on telling myself, ‘just one more chapter’.
-
It took me a few chapters to really get into this story, but once I did I found it compelling and unputdownable. One more chapter, I kept thinking, then I’ll go and do some work. The characters are well-thought out, real people. You can imagine their lives carrying on once the storyteller's spotlight has moved away. The obstacles they have to overcome with families and friends are so true to life. A real gem that I will definitely read again.

Every time you mention the volcano option I get a flashback of Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi duelling over that pit of molten lava.

That would be just what he deserves. The volcano option is tempting as well!

I usually find it easiest to follow a story that’s in process, then you get a notification whenever they post a new chapter. Thanks for reading.

In the few days that had passed since Thread fell over the Weyr, T’rai had recounted his story of the rescue many times since D’gar first heard it at the post-Fall Wing meeting. In all fairness to T’rai, he’d not elaborated much but others who’d heard the tale had added their own flourishes. Among the Benden green riders, he’d become something of a hero. ‘I think we should hold a party for him,’ H’rek suggested, after he came back from one of their regular meetings. ‘Everyone thinks it would

In this instance the dragon couldn’t get off the ground sufficiently to go between. This was a particularly nasty incident, but Weyrfolk have learned to cope with the consequences of Threadfall.

D’gar was on his third delivery run over Hold Gar. Two more sacks to deliver to brown Norarth in ‘B’ Wing. They were fighting on the lowest level today, although the cloud was low as well, making visibility very poor. He’d flown in murky conditions often enough on patrols and drills but this was different. Thread was almost the same colour as the cloud; difficult to spot. How did the wingriders cope, he wondered, when there were times you could barely see a dragon length ahead of you? Experi

Nice example of how two people in a relationship can hold very different views on what is right and proper. Craig's experiences in the hospital have put him right off drugs, but Justin doesn't have a problem with occasional recreational use.
-
Lovely chapter. Not a sign of Rita, Rick getting to show parts of the countryside he knows so well and a chance to spend more time with Gus. The ending holds out some hope for a relationship developing between them.
-
I like the way you introduce the characters then intertwine their stories. It gives a real sense of them as individuals and places them well in the story.
-
Great chapter giving some historical background and the religious hypocrisy.
-
Tristan definitely needs some time to think about what Peter has told him. Although he's blaming himself for jumping to conclusions and leaving, it might have been useful if Peter had confided in him about his problems before deciding what he was going to do. TT is the only good thing that's emerged from the whole mess so far.

It’s not just you. Quite a few people I know who enjoyed the original books lost interest at that point. Todd just doesn’t have the same flair for creating interesting characters as his mother did. The brilliant thing about Pern from any writer's point of view is that there are so many gaps to fill in. Like you, I started reading the series back in the 1970's with a copy of 'Dragonflight' from my local library and waited for each new book eagerly. Thanks for reading and for leaving comments.

Manora will get them to talk!

D’gar sat in his usual place around the table in the council room. Thread would be falling over Bitra and the Weyr itself later in the afternoon. F’lar had unrolled a map showing the area that would be affected. ‘I’m going to leave two Wings to protect the Weyr. That’ll be you, S’lel and K’net. We all know how distressed the grounded dragons get when they know Thread’s falling and they can’t fly against it, so seeing their wingmates up there might help to reassure them. D’gar, can your Wing

That was a memorable chapter. The sex scene was so powerful and tender and the crashing car metaphors fit perfectly. The reflection of those quiet moments afterward with Carole King singing on the radio is an image I will remember.
-
Thread fell from the cloudless sky like a deadly rain. D’gar had been close to it many times now, but the sight of the stuff still made his skin crawl. It was vile, alien; an organism that devoured mindlessly and would devastate the surface of Pern if not for dragons and their riders. He checked the sacks fastened to either side of Herebeth’s fighting straps. Today, he was delivering to ‘C’ Wing. The heaviest, largest sacks were for the bronzes; Tiriorth and Piroth. Just a few sevendays ago,

D'gar and S'brin, along with their clutchmates, learn about fighting Thread, love and loss.

Good for Rick, telling Rita where to get off. I was wondering if Caroline Lee had noticed his interest in Gus earlier and decided to engineer that meeting?

Put it down to the enthusiasm of youth.

You are still awake. Herebeth’s mental voice intruded on D’gar’s thoughts, which had been going around in circles since he’d got to bed. Every time he shut his eyes and tried to drift off, F’drun’s threat repeated itself over and over again. He sat up, staring at the now familiar walls of his weyr. Very observant of you, he replied. I reckoned you’d be asleep after all the work you did today. Sorry, yesterday. It must be well past midnight, judging by how quiet it was outside. Your thoug

Meetings and Confrontations
Mawgrim commented on Mawgrim's story chapter in Meetings and Confrontations
True. But he was out of the way for a while so less of an issue! -
‘Might I just congratulate the Weyrwoman on her excellent advice at the start of Fall today.’ R’gul raised his cup of klah and made a slight bow towards Lessa, who was sitting in one of the chairs around the council table. ‘If you’d not come up with such clever solution, we might have let a fair amount of Thread get through.’ She gave a slight smile. ‘You’d be welcome, R’gul, except it wasn’t my idea. I simply passed the message on, thanks to my ability to speak to all dragons.’ He looke
