Dragonsong : Paperback : Transworld Publishers Ltd : 9780552106610 : 0552106615 : 01 Feb 1983 : The planet Pern has been colonized for centuries by humans. When humans first settled on this world, they did not take notice of its sister planet, which had an indigenous life form that attempted to land on Pern when it came within reach. These silver "threads"" fell in a destructive wave on the temperate lands of Pern once every 200 years, destroying all life they encountered. To combat this menace, the inhabitants of Pern developed a species of dragon that could burn these threads out of the sky before they touched down. Now, centuries have passed between threadfalls, and the danger of thread is considered a myth. However, a dragon rider named F'lar knows that the riders are once again needed."

Every two hundred years or so shimmering Threads fall from space raining death and black ruin on Pern. The great dragons of Pern hurl themselves through the beleagured skies flaming tongues of fire to destroy deadly Thread and save the Planet. But it was not Threadfall that made young Menolly unhappy. It was her father who betrayed her ambition to be a Harper who thwarted her love of music. Menolly had no choice but to run away. When suddenly she came upon a group of fire lizards wild and smaller relatives of the fire-breathing dragons she let her music swirl around them. She taught nine of them to sing. Suddenly Menolly was no longer alone -- she was Mistress of Music and Ward of the dazzling fire dragons.
