********************************************************
HOW CAN ONE GIRL SAVE AN ENTIRE WORLD?

To the nobles who live in Benden Weyr, Lessa is nothing but a ragged kitchen girl. For most of her life she has survived by serving those who betrayed her father and took over his lands. Now the time has come for Lessa to shed her disguise-and take back her stolen birthright.

But everything changes when she meets a Queen dragon. The bond they share will be deep and last forever. It will protect them when, for the first time in centuries, Lessa's world is threatened by Thread, an evil substance that falls like rain and destroys everything it touches. Dragons and their Riders once protected the planet from Thread and the blood-red star, but there are very few of them left these days. Only the gigantic, golden Queen can breed new dragons. And the Queen is fading . . . dying . . .

Now brave Lessa must risk her life, and the life of her beloved dragon, to save her beautiful world. . . .

The Dragonriders of Pern series continues in Dragonquest.

Fornøyd leser – 29.05.2010

– En god bok for de dragefrelste. Selv likte jeg den veldig godt. McCaffrey skriver detaljert, og historien er bra. Til tider er språket noe vanskelig, men man får med seg handlingen uten store problemer. Jeg vil ikke si den går under science fiction - den bærer mer preg av fantasy. Forfatteren er flink til å ikke henge seg opp i ting som er uvesentlige for selve historien. Jeg satt aldri med følelsen av at den var langtrukken. Forfatteren holder på spenningen hele tiden, og dette gjør at den aldri blir kjedelig. Dette er første boka i en serie på ca. 20 stykker

– Dersom man er glad i fantasy eller science fiction er dette absolutt noe man burde få med seg. Bokens handling tar sted på en annen planet, der det livstruende "thread" er i ferd med å ødelegge avlinger og skoger. Bare dragerytterne og dragene deres har muligheten til å redde verdenen fra total ødeleggelse. Historien er beskrevet med gode detaljer og en god skrivemåte som lett fanger interessen. Man skal ikke lese lenge før det blir vanskelig å legge den fra seg. Boken er noe kortere enn de fleste andre bøker i sin sjanger, men til gjengjeld er serien på nesten 20 bøker. Dersom man er glad i drager, bør ikke denne boken forbigås.
