Soon myriads of holders, craftsmen, and dragonriders were dying; and the mysterious ailment had spread to all but the most inaccessible holds. Pern was in mortal danger. For, if dragonriders did not rise to char Thread, the parasite would devour any and all organic life it encountered. <p/>The future of the planet rested in the hands of Moreta and the other deicated, lelfless Pernese leaders. But of all their problems, the most difficult to overcome was time. . . .<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Anne McCaffrey, </b>one of the world's most popular authors, is best known for her Dragonriders of Pern(R) series.
