The Skies of Pern is a novel in the Dragonriders of Pern series. It follows soon after The Dolphins of Pern, and, takes place in a very short period of time within the same year. Pern is a planet settled over 2500 years before which is only recently recovering the technology brought by the first settlers. There are two separate plots: some disgruntled citizens of Pern are unhappy with technology being introduced and they seek by acts of terror and sabotage to prevent change;. Another theme is that the danger from the sky which prompted the gene-manipulated flying dragons to be created will shortly be ended. Then society will have to adjust and find new employment for the dragons and their human riders. This is an Extra Large Print publication specifically formatted by the Virginia M.
