"This is Pern, in the hands of a new master-grade harper. . . . May the saga continue!" -David Weber, New York Times bestselling author of The Shadow of Saganami <br><br>A mysterious epidemic is striking dragons, and the next deadly cycle of Threadfall is only days away. Somehow, dragonrider Lorana must find a way to save all the dragons-including her own beloved Arith-before they succumb to the sickness, leaving Pern undefended. No doubt the first colonists, who originally bred the dragons, possessed the advanced technology to find a cure. But over the centuries, that knowledge was lost. <br><br>Five hundred years in the past, a scientist foresees that a disease may ultimately destroy the dragons, and she is determined to find a way to change the future. Now two brave women, separated by hundreds of years but joined by bonds transcending time, become unknowing allies in a desperate race for nothing less than Pern's survival. <br><br>Praise for Dragonsblood<br><br>"Dragonsblood is a strong, lively story, with vivid, interesting characters and plenty of exciting action.

You have learned wisdom indeed."-Jane Yolen, award-winning author of Briar Rose <br><br>"Dragonsblood is cause for celebration! A worthy addition to one of the grandest traditions in the literature of the fantastic, this is a lock-the-door, take-the-phone-off-the-hook, send-the-kids-out-to-play, curl-up-and-enjoy adventure!"-David Gerrold, author of Blood and Fire<br><br>"The torch has been passed and burns more brightly than ever in this latest chapter o
