A novel of Pern.
Pellar wants to investigate the Shunned, the outcasts of society, but ends up finding a new, less dangerous source of firestone. Firestone is used by the dragon's to produce flame to destroy the alien thread that periodically threatens all life on the planet Pern.
It just sucks when one of your favorite authors gets too old and feeble to write a good story anymore. Anne has roped in her son Todd to help with the writing chores but it doesn't work. Todd's writing is blah. Like reading a newspaper article.
This new Pern novel is not interesting. It doesn't have the passion and spark of McCaffrey's earlier stories.
