Set two centuries after the first deadly Threadfall, it explores the political and social challenges as Pern faces a new threat. Praised for its rich world-building and complex characters, this book is a must-read for fans of epic sci-fi fantasy and dragon lore. ## Description In Anne McCaffrey’s New York Times bestselling Dragonseye, join Weyrleaders, Holders, and Craftmasters in the creation of the legendary Star Stones and the teaching ballads of Pern! It's been two hundred years since the deadly Thread fell like rain upon Pern, devouring everything in its path. No one alive remembers that first horrific onslaught and no one believes in its return—except for the dragonriders. For two centuries they have been practicing and training, passing down from generation to generation the formidable Threadfighting techniques. Now the ominous signs are appearing: the violent winter storms and volcanic eruptions that are said to herald the approach of the Red Star and its lethal spawn. But one stubborn Lord Holder, Chalkin of Bitra, refuses to believe--and that disbelief could spell disaster. So as the dragonriders desperately train to face a terrifying enemy, they and the other Lord Holders must find a way to deal with Chalkin—before history repeats itself and unleashes its virulence on all of Pern. . . . Review: Anne McCaffrey was a genius! - Anne McCaffrey wrote wonderful books about her imaginary planet Pern. The dragons are beautiful, powerful, and kind. She set out to write books that made dragons heroic, and connected them as equal partners to humans. She succeeded, all while weaving them into detailed and thought-provoking novels. These are adult or young-adult books, NOT for children (many mature themes). I'm writing this review mainly to say - if you get totally hooked on this series (as I am), stick with the books written solely by Anne McCaffrey. There are books in the series written by (or with) her son Todd McCaffrey. They kind of ruin Anne's creation, in my opinion. They make much less sense, they don't give motivations for what characters do, and they focus on young characters (children or teenagers) but put them into very adult situations, which is just wrong. Stick with Anne McCaffrey's "pure" Pern books, and you're reading the best. Review: Superb, as always... - and finally, we learn about the second Threadfall, and how the starstones came into being. I would have liked more about the Starstones, yet there is SO much history that gets explained, that is a minor issue. We see the birth of the Harperhall and the Teaching Ballads! The weyrs face the first Thread after the first Interval, and while most of the population believes Thread is returning, there is one Lord Holder that does not. We see the beginning of Pern's justice system being given its first test, and are told some of the punishments meted out as sentences for various crimes. There is a lot going on in this book, the colonists are losing much of the tech that arrived with them, such as; the abacus and Stonehenge were both useful in lieu of the items that are no longer operational. Some day, I will read through the series in a chronological order...maybe. LOL Dragonseye is a great read. The characters are well done, some you will boo, others you will cheer, and as always, there are the dragons. The fire lizards do not make an appearance, although they are mentioned. ✌😸 ## Features - Author: Anne McCaffrey. - Publisher: Del Rey - Pages: 416 - Publication Date: 1997-12-27 - Edition: First Edition - Binding: Mass Market Paperback - MSRP: 7.99 - ISBN13: 9780345418791 - ISBN: 0345418794 - Language: en - Store Location: Sci Fi - "Book cover image may be different than what appears on the actual book." ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #124,307 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #989 in Science Fiction Short Stories #1,488 in Dragons & Mythical Creatures Fantasy (Books) #1,986 in Science Fiction Adventures | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,822 Reviews | ## Images ![Dragonseye (Dragonriders of Pern) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Ft+lbQOtL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Anne McCaffrey was a genius! *by A***R on July 22, 2023* Anne McCaffrey wrote wonderful books about her imaginary planet Pern.

It makes the customs and conventions understandable and enriches the original trilogy which I read many years ago and often re read just to enjoy this totally wonderful world. McCaffrey is in fine form as she fleshes out the transition from an small colony with a history in the stars to a planet on it's own creating their own history, rules and traditions as they struggle to survive on a challenging planet with a unique social structure. Even without our old friends--F'lar, Lessa, Robinton , F'nor we are drawn in to the intimate lives of the people of Pern and learn how they and their time would come to be. If you have not read the trilogy, this book stands alone very well and make a nice entry to the series. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/50574089-dragonseye-dragonriders-of-pern](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/50574089-dragonseye-dragonriders-of-pern) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-09-10*
