For the first time in more than three years, bestselling authors Anne McCaffrey and Todd McCaffrey, mother and son, have teamed up again to do what they do best: add a fresh chapter to the most beloved science fiction series of all time, the Dragonriders of Pern. Even though Lorana cured the plague that was killing the dragons of Pern, sacrificing her queen dragon in the process, the effects of the disease were so devastating that there are no longer enough dragons available to fight the fall of deadly Thread. And as the situation grows more dire, a pregnant Lorana decides that she must take drastic steps in the quest for help. Meanwhile, back at Telgar Weyr, Weyrwoman Fiona, herself pregnant, and the harper Kindan must somehow keep morale from fading altogether in the face of the steadily mounting losses of dragons and their riders. But time weighs heavily against them ― until Lorana finds a way to use time itself in their favor. It’s a plan fraught with risk, however. For attempting time travel means tampering with the natural laws of the universe, which could drastically alter history ― and destiny ― forever. Or so it has always been thought. But Lorana discovers that if the laws of time can’t be broken without consequences, it may still be possible to bend them. To ensure the future of Pern, she’s willing to take the fateful chance ― even if it demands another, even greater, sacrifice.

Anne McCaffrey was arguably one of the greatest Sci-Fi writers of our time. Pern was a wholly-new imaginative world not derivative of anything that had came before it.We've often seen what happens when authors' children continue their parents' books. Tolkien, Herbert, etc., have shown us what usually lies in store. Todd takes this to a new level.When I started reading the first few Todd McCaffrey books, I always had a bad taste in my mouth. The dialogue and prose were always awkward, jarring, disjointed, corny and very simple. There was no elegance, grace, fluidity or style to the writing. His characters seemed so superficial or ridiculously overdone. Often times the text would go on and on about such minor, trivial details such as facial expressions and second-by-second descriptions of emotional changes that it was quite an effort to get through several of the books, especially Dragongirl.However, this review is about Dragonstime. This book, as mentioned in other reviews, broke every known rule in the Pern universe. Dragons riding with other partners, timing, the nature of between itself and the absurd idea of a dragon and rider FLYING ABOVE PERN IN THE STRATOSPHERE WITHOUT A SPACE SUIT. Anne McCaffrey always had the decency to have scientific fidelity in her stories. She consulted astronomers, biologists and trained scientists to create believable world and stories. Todd on the other hand wants us to think a human could sit, without a pressure suit, out in the open directly beneath an orbiting spacecraft and not suffer explosive decompression. And he had the guts to write this after all the work his mother put into "All the Weyrs of Pern!" Incredible...
