I see on Todd's site that His sister is working on a new Pern Book, Good news I say, Also after she completes it, She and Todd are to work on getting Anne's last book rewritten. New Pern stories on the horizon!

Wow! I look forward to it. I wonder if Gigi will keep to Anne's Pern better than Todd does? I can't read his books.

I still don't get what all the fuss is about concerning Todd's books. But yes, here's hoping Gigi takes us on a good journey to Pern.

I hope Gigi's better at it than Todd. (What the fuss is? It's like reading really bad fan fic by a thirteen-year-old girl. Canon-following PBeM Weyrs would have rejected the plots for being too melodramatic and unbelievable.) And I'm curious what Anne's last manuscript will turn out to be like, even reworked....

Agreed, Todd's writings are not, Well, good. But we do have something to look forward to. We can hope Gigi will be better.

I'm curious, but I don't know that I'm optimistic. But who knows? It could be an awesome addition to the series!

Could be after the final Fall. Could even be the middle of the first Long Interval, when Thread failed to turn up (Threadfail?).

I just downloaded it for my Nook from Barnes and Noble. I won't have much time this weekend to read ( just moved last month and have a lot of projects this weekend) but I will try to make a start on it. The bit I read on the Barnes and Noble site was pretty promising.

Finished reading it last night, Overall I would give it an A, for effort, and a B, for Accuracy, For her first Solo ( ? ) Venture into PERN, I like that she didn't jump too deeply into trying to make it her own. Plenty of time for that. I do hope she chooses to continue writing in the world of PERN. Her writing is way more like Her Mothers than her Brothers. Thank Goodness for that, Todd's writing almost feels like he is forcing plots to progress rather than just letting it flow. And if she Would happen to check out these posts on M.O.M., Thanks, Keep on Writing !

I got my copy yesterday, after 8 working days, not the 10 that the book depository said it would take - that's better than one bill I had from the other side of town. It looks promising.

I really enjoyed it. She did stay Canon and that is important to me. At the description of stupid my first thought was "Well that makes perfect sense" but I did have to laugh.I do think Gigi stayed a little safe here, she told a story we knew but she told it from a completely different viewpoint. We did also meet a few new characters though they are secondary characters. I do hope she will continue and expand the world of Pern for us. I agree with Dragon Fan, if Gigi ever lurks on the forums like her mother did occasionally I would like her to know that I will definitely buy the next book and look forward to it.

I haven't finished it yet, but two things confuse me a lot. First of all, why does it say that Piemur was sent to Southern Weyr by Master Robinton? It's been a while since I've read Dragondrums, but didn't Piemur end up in the south by accident from falling asleep in an oldtimer dragonrider's sack after stealing a firelizard egg? Second of all, why does Stupid have six legs, and why is he called a ruminant? He's a runnerbeast, which are equines bred from Earth horses. They even call them horses again in All the Weyrs of Pern after Aivas reminded them of their history.

I despised Dragon's Code. It completely contradicted Piemur's whereabouts established in The Renegades of Pern. It actually made me wonder whether Gigi's increased involvement post All The Weyrs of Pern is responsible for the rise in Anne-consistencies in the later books.
