  • "Pern was a beautiful planet, Earthlike enough to feel like home, yet unspoiled by the industrial development and interstellar wars that had ravaged the other planets of humankind. And the few thousand colonists who came to Pern intended to keep it that way. They staked their claims on the land and settled down to build a low-tech agricultural paradise on the world they had loved at first sight. Then 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, as the stuff came to be called, but the colonists could not keep up with the relentless attacks. Some other solution would have to be found if the colony was to survive. Then some of teh colonists noticed that the small, dragonlike lizards that inhabited their new world were joining the fight against Thread, breathing fire on it and teleporting it to safety. And so they set their most talented geneticist to work to create the creatures Pern so desperately needed - Dragons!"@en

  • ""L'amiral Benden a mis le vaisseau en orbite autour de la planète Pern. Et les futurs colons s'éveillent par milliers. Sorka était toute petite quand elle est montée dans l'astronef ; après quinze ans d'animation suspendue, elle n'a guère grandi. Les gens veulent mener une vie pastorale ; ce monde-là ne sera pas pollué. Très vite, ils se passeront de gouvernement ; chacun sera son propre maître, et tous vivront en harmonie. Mais on ne peut pas tout prévoir. Il y a des colons qui ne sont pas clairs. D'autres qui poussent la pureté si loin qu'ils ne songent qu'à se perdre dans la lande. Sean, le jeune Gitan, n'a pas oublié ses chevaux. Sorka ne sait pas encore qu'elle partagera ses rêves ; les premiers explorateurs n'ont pas senti les séismes, ils n'ont pas vu les nuages noirs. Mais quand Sorka et Sean assistent à l'éclosion des dragonets, Pern leur offre un charmant remède au malheur qui plane."

If only the dragonets were big enough for a human to ride, and intelligent enough to work as a team with a rider!
