The story follows immediately from the final scene of Renegades of Pern , in which the Admin building from Pern's first generation of colonists is discovered, along with an advanced computer called AIVAS Artificial Intelligence Voice Address System , at the Landing site that is being excavated.

All the Weyrs of Pern Writer Characters solve all their problems immediately. One night, Robinton discovers and alerts Landing to a group attempting to disable AIVAS by destroying a secondary power source, but they fail to capture those responsible. For example, the whole story of destroying thread for good doesn't create any dramatic tension, since the Dragonriders clearly have no problem stopping it once it falls. Quotes from All the Weyrs of The last few books have trended the same way. The Aivas has sat idle for some 2, years, but those ancestors knew how to build them, and one of the original spaceship captains, Ezra Keroon, had added special covering and protection tiles from the landing shuttles to keep it safe from the volcano's ash and heat.

So much so in fact, that knowing those characters from previous books one will occasionally wince a bit, because they used to be more dynamic. Apr 02, Erin rated it it was amazing. These are the characters that we know, on autopilot with little need to grow, but they're the reason why we're reading these books.

Human nature? I love this story, mainly because I find it so exciting to imagine being suddenly presented with knowledge of one's history, and the chance to improve one's world and free it from such an old problem, one that has taxed the resources of every person now living on Pern. We do not need to read it on every single page. Thanks for telling us about the problem. This book has very little tension.

  • Suggested Reading Orders of Books and Stories in Anne Mccaffrey's Pern Series
    SUGGESTED READING ORDERS OF BOOKS AND STORIES IN ANNE MCCAFFREY’S PERN SERIES Fans often ask for advice as to the order in which to read the books in the popular Dragonriders of Pern© series. Anne McCaffrey herself politely suggests you should read them in the order in which they were published. For most of the series written by Anne the chronological order is also the publication order but the Pern Series is the notable exception. For those of you who prefer to read (or re-read) the Pern Series in chronological or story line order we are including a second, chronological list. However, this list cannot give a pure chronological order because that is an impossibility – some of the books and stories take place during the same time period. For example, a book like The Renegades of Pern spans a long pe- riod of Pern’s history in the run up to and during the Ninth Pass. As such, it runs parallel to several other books in the series. A graphic display of chronological order is added to illustrate this and as a handy overview. 1. Pern Books and Stories in order of Publication (stories in italics) • Dragonflight (1968) The short stories Weyr Search and Dragonrider are incorporated in this book. • Dragonquest (1971) • Dragonsong (1976) • Dragonsinger 1977) • The Smallest Dragonboy, in: Get Off The Unicorn (1977) and A Gift of Dragons (2002) • The White Dragon (1978) The earlier publication A Time When (1975) is incorporated in this book. • Dragondrums (1979) • Moreta: Dragonlady Of Pern (1983) • Nerilka’s Story (1984) • Dragonsdawn (1988) • The Impression, in: The Dragonlover’s Guide To Pern (1989) • The Renegades of Pern (1989) • All The Weyrs of Pern (1991) • Rescue Run (1991) • The Dolphin’s Bell (1993) • The Chronicles of Pern: First Fall (1993) The earlier publications Rescue Run (1991) and The Dolphin’s Bell (1993) are incorporated in this book.

(May 2004) Michael Little, B.A., University of Houston; M.A., University of Houston Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. David McWhirter This dissertation studies the fictional and non-fictional responses of David Foster Wallace, Jonathan Franzen, and Richard Powers to their felt anxieties about the vitality of literature in contemporary culture. The intangible nature of literature’s social value marks the literary as an uneasy, contested, and defensive cultural site. At the same time, the significance of any given cultural artifact or medium, such as television, film, radio, or fiction, is in a continual state of flux.

  • Destination Unknown: Experiments in the Network Novel
    UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI DATE: November 25, 2002 I, Scott Rettberg , hereby submit this as part of the requirements for the degree of: Doctorate of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in: The Department of English & Comparative Literature It is entitled: Destination Unknown: Experiments in the Network Novel Approved by: Thomas LeClair, Ph.D. Joseph Tabbi, Ph.D. Norma Jenckes, Ph.D. Destination Unknown: Experiments in the Network Novel A dissertation submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in the Department of English and Comparative Literature of the College of Arts and Sciences 2003 by Scott Rettberg B.A. Coe College, 1992 M.A. Illinois State University, 1995 Committee Chair: Thomas LeClair, Ph.D. Abstract The dissertation contains two components: a critical component that examines recent experiments in writing literature specifically for the electronic media, and a creative component that includes selections from The Unknown, the hypertext novel I coauthored with William Gillespie and Dirk Stratton. In the critical component of the dissertation, I argue that the network must be understood as a writing and reading environment distinct from both print and from discrete computer applications. In the introduction, I situate recent network literature within the context of electronic literature produced prior to the launch of the World Wide Web, establish the current range of experiments in electronic literature, and explore some of the advantages and disadvantages of writing and publishing literature for the network. In the second chapter, I examine the development of the book as a technology, analyze “electronic book” distribution models, and establish the difference between the “electronic book” and “electronic literature.” In the third chapter, I interrogate the ideas of linking, nonlinearity, and referentiality.

  • Recommended Texts for Adolescents
    Texts for Adolescents Suggestions from the Students of READ 500 Montclair State University Contact: Erik Jacobson [email protected] A Good Kind of Trouble Lisa Moore Ramée Themes: identity; activism; standing up for what is right; social justice; friendship Appeal: This book shows the perspective of a 12-year-old black girl named Shayla, who struggles with her own identity while trying to adjust to the recent events of the world. A police officer killed an unarmed black man and was not convicted of any wrongdoing. Shayla hates getting in trouble, but she feels the need to make a difference. Shayla decides that some rules are worth breaking. This book is written in kid-friendly language but includes such a powerful message. Suggested Activities: I would recommend this book as a read-aloud in the middle grades to spark strong conversations regarding social justice, standing up for what is right, even if others are saying it is wrong, and for educating students on real-world events. Submitted by Crystal Nzegwu The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian Sherman Alexie Potential Appeal: At first the book as engaging illustrations on the cover and throughout that may appeal to students. The novel is about a teenage boy that lives with his family on an Indian reservation. The novel is told through a journal type of writing which also may appeal to students. Junior, the main character, has many birth defects and is often made fun of. The Indian reservation which he lives on, along with his family, are extremely poor, His teacher encourages him to go to another school in a very wealthy town.
