A science fiction classic from a master of the genre.

But the greatest promise AIVAS offered was the chance to rid Pern of Thread forever. All the great ones of Pern began the long and arduous task of learning just how to operate the incredible plan.
This was a plan of such daring and epic proportions that both dragons and riders would be put at risk...
