Dragonseye Audiobook

" Covers the beginning of the second pass since Landing, and the first where the residents of Pern don't have the technology of the original colonists at their disposal. Most of the tension comes from 1) Disbelief by the lord holders that thread is coming back (yes, exactly like in the very first book) and 2) Lifestyle changes brought on by failing technology. A decent entry in the saga, but not necessary. "

" I love that AM forayed into a new Pass, but I just didn't really care for this book. I read it once, and I own it, but mostly for my collection of the series. "

" Probably closer to 4.5 stars... if it isn't obvious that I am a huge fan. "

" I liked "going back in Pern time" with this book. "

" This book filled in a lot of the gaps in reader knowledge of the transitions between the ways and traditions of the first settlers of Pern and those of later inhabitants, which I appreciated. The storyline and characters were all okay, certainly much better than some of the other Pern books, and overall I enjoyed reading this one. "

" More of Pern. "

" Fills in a little more of the history of Pern. "

" I have read almost all of the Pern books and they are all very good. "

" Just started reading Dragonseye... "

" Fills in a little more of the history of Pern. "

" I really enjoyed this one, though I felt there were a few issues left unresolved. "

" Just got the book. Not yet read. "

" I kept expecting thread to show up in the next chapter. It didn't make an appearance until the last couple pages. Each book seems to deal with the chaos of the first days of a new era of the red star and little to do with a mid- or the end of an era. "

" Adds to the arc in the early days of human colonization on Pern. Not one of the better ones, but still adds to the dragonrider lore. "

" I love all of the Pern books. This one helps to explain a little of the history of Pern. "

" I think this might be one of my most favorite settings for the Pern books: second pass, when there's still some memory of technology and understanding of their roots, though I do also love the first pass, when even with all that technology they still can't quite defeat the menace of Thread. "

" Grade A-. Book P01b (my chronology). An overview story of the second pass and conversion from Earth methods to Pern methods. No major characters although artist Iantine is close. Only one major skim/speed read area in chapter 5. "

" 16th Pern story in publication order. "

" The best part of this book for me was the relationship between a green and a blue rider (both guys). I thought it was amazing to have even minor characters like this. "

" Great escapism - if you like to live on Pern for awhile. The books are a bit formulaic and it is always clear who wears the white hats. However, the society is believable and the difficulties faced are dire enough to keep the tension high. An old-fashioned sci-fi favourite. "

" I'm re-reading all the Pern books in chronological order. It's kind of fun. "

" A good story of pern, with all the right ingredients. Only exception are a couple of the characters who quite frankly could have been lost and no made an impact on the story "

" I liked this book for the same reasons that I like the series--the melding of science, a good story, and fantasy elements into one. My one complaint is that at one point I felt like the story was over but there were actually like three chapters after it. But it was still enjoyable. "
