Dragon Flight - Anne McCaffrey

Ok so one of the reasaons I haven't been writing these as much as I should is I have been caught with my eyes glued to my e-reader, lost in a series called 'Dragon Riders of Pern' by Anne McCaffrey, part fantasy and part sci-fi set in the future a group of colonists tired of the wars and endless technology of there days sets down on a new planet Pern to make a Agricultural based society where they can leave well, Unfortunatly for their decendents it didn't work out that way. We join the decendents about 2500 years later having to fight Thread an organisim that rains down from the sky when the Red Star arrives in the east and eats anything organis it touches. Coming in a cycle approximently every 200 years. The only thing that stops it is dragon fire, dragons are a creature of Pern that has evolved to fight the Thread, bonded with humans they live to fight Thread when it falls. As the Thread hasn't fallen in so long many of those they would protect think they are no longer needed and the Dragondriders fall to the bottom of the Society. This story follows the climb back to the heights and the salvation of the world.

This is a great read, love the whole series, some great characters that you will grow with as you read them.

Worth a rainy Sunday afternoon spot on the bookshelf. This is the first in a LONG series of books worth the time to read.
