Dragonseye (a.k.a. Red Star Rising) is a fantasy-science fiction novel by Anne McCaffrey that was first published in 1997.
[edit] Plot introduction
After the events of All the Weyrs of Pern and The Dolphins of Pern, Thread is less of a threat to the planet. Returning to an earlier time in Pernese history, the author brings the earlier conflict of Thread reappearing in the Second Pass. The situation is similar to that of Dragonflight in that those who are alive do not know of the threat, and once again dragons and dragonriders must convince the populace why the dragons were created - to flame Thread from the sky.
Following in the footsteps of the novels that established the background of the colony, the book also answers such as questions as the following:
- What happened to the computers?
- What happened to the technology?
- Where are the fire-lizards?
- Who created the Star Stones?
