MasterSinger Merelan and Harper Petiron were a brilliant and devoted couple. Merelan was the most outstanding soprano ever heard on Pern, and was often the only one who could master Petiron's technically accomplished compostions. When, after a long and difficult birth, Robinton was born to them, it should have been the culmination of a unique partnership.But Petiron, almost from the first day, had no time for his son, refusing to see the incredible talent the boy possessed, ignoring his achievements and maintaining a strict and disapproving vigilance over him at all times.Carefully, secretly, the Harper Hall took over, training the greatest talent Pern had ever seen - a talent that was more than just musical, Robinton was able to talk to the Dragons of Pern.As constant sadness beset his personal life, so a startling career sent him like a meteor through the Holds and Weyrs of Pern, until, as MasterHarper, he became part of the great plan to rescue Lessa from the brutal rule of Holder Fax - Lessa, who was to be the saviour of the Dragons of Pern.

The story of a major player of Pern

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 March 2018

From the time of their first publishing the Dragon books, although not really well written, have enchanted me. When I am feeling in the need of familiarity I reach for them and happily return to the planet Pern where dragons breathe fire to save it, and humans bond with them. It is a marvellous concept of bravery and love as well as dealing with all to human failings. So now I am buying my favourites on Kindle, and meeting up again this time with the Harpers and their legacy. Even my classically inclined husband would swipe the books from my shelves and immerse himself with pleasure in these tales, so they can't be too bad! Beware poor imitations.

Loved this series since it first came out

Of course it doesn't date as it's set in a created universe and vaguely understandable society. It's brilliantly conceived, written and researched. I cannot recommend reading the series highly enough, and feel sad for anyone who has missed it so far :)

This book pulled me back into the world of Pern ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 June 2018

This book pulled me back into the world of Pern where I have not walked for a while. I had to go back then to Dragon Flight to trace the rest of the story through. This book provides additional insights into how events come to pass in Lessa and Flar's time providing a strong back story. All I need now as I finish the "Skies of Pern" is the long awaited "After the fall" I hope that it eventually gets finished so the story lines too get drawn to the close.
