Corners bumped, slight spine slant, backstrip just a bit loose. Jacket shows very slight edge wear. A bright, attractive copy. "Pern was a beautiful planet, Earthlike enough to feel like home, yet unspoiled by the industrial development and interstellar wars . . . the few thousand colonists who came to Pern intended to keep it that way. . . Suddenly disaster struck. Deadly spores fell like silver threads from the sky, devouring everything - and everyone - in their path. Fire and water could destroy the Thread but the colonists could not keep up with the relentless attacks. . . If only the dragonlike lizards that inhabited their new world were big enough for a human to ride and intelligent enough to work as a team with a rider . . ."
