SynopsisWith a cast of beloved characters from previous Pern novels, Dragongirl is another triumph for Todd McCaffrey--and a riveting chapter for the Dragonriders of Pern. Young Fiona, rider of the gold queen Talenth, has returned with the dragons and riders who fled into the past to heal their battle wounds and prepare to fight anew the menace of Thread. Now more than three years older, Fiona is no longer a child but a woman--thrust into authority by a shocking tragedy. But leading weyrfolk who are distrustful of a young outsider will be only one of her challenges. Despite gaining reinforcements from the past, too few dragons have survived the recent plague to stem the tide of the intensifying Threadfall. As a senior Weyrwoman, Fiona must take decisive action. With the aid of Lorana, the rider who sacrificed her dragon for others, and Fiona's true love, the harper Kindan, she proposes a daring, nearly impossible plan. But if it succeeds, it just might save them all.
I used to read Anne McCaffrey books in jr.high school and recently came across a Dragon Riders of Pern book at a half priced book store. This resparked my love for her stories and I was just wanting more.
I noticed that her son Todd took over the series and I must say he has done very well in keeping to the spirit of his mother's beloved world of Pern by filling in a lot of the gaps in the stories evolution and history.
Dragon Girl was a search to find and I was excited when I was able to locate a copy.
