This is a great book in the dragon riders series. A highly emotional book. It leads you in one direction but takes you in another.

The story behind the ballad

Here is the story behind the Ballad of Moreta mentioned in the excellent Dragonsinger series.

It is a gripping story of an influenza pandemic sweeping through a medieval society. In that, it is an excellent and worthy addition to the Dragonriders of Pern series.

It is set prior to the time of Lessa and the familiar characters of previous books. Those books speak of a time of restoration, of rediscovery and of renaissance as changes sweep through Pern's society. In this book, that excitement is lost. If this book had never been published, the Pern cycle would not be damaged. In some ways, this story undermines the appeal of the Ballad of Moreta as the plot here disagrees with the story told by the ballad. However, this is small damage and this is a pleasant story of an earlier Pern that stands well on its own.
