From dust jacket: Just a few islands nestled on a warm, planetwide ocean, Thalassa was a veritable paradise -- home to one of the small colonies founded centuries before by robot Mother Ships. Mankind had barely managed to flee before the Sun went nova and destroyed the Solar System. The people of Thalassa were happy, devoted to living well on their beautiful world. Mesmerized by the beauty of Thalassa and overwhelmed by its vast resources, the colonists were unaware of a monumental evolutionary event slowly taking place beneath their seas. fBut Thalassa's idyll was broken one day by the appearance in orbit of the Magellan, a huge spacecraft carrying one million hibernating refugees from the very last, mad days of Earth. Clearly, whether the Magellan was just stopping by on her way to a more distant star, as her crew alleged, or intending to stay -- as many Thalassans feared -- uncertainty and change had come to the placid paradise that was Thalassa.

From dust jacket: As long as the people of Pern could remember, the Holds had protected them from Thread, the deadly silver strands that fell from the sky and ravaged the land. In exchange for sanctuary in the huge stone fortresses, the people tithed to their Lord Holders, who in turn supported the Weyrs, whose dragons were Pern's greatest weapon against Thread. But not everyone on Pern was part of that system of mutual care and protection, particularly those who had been rendered hordless as punishment for wrongdoing. And there were some, like Jayge's trader clan, who simply preferred the freedom of the roads to the security of a hold. Other's like Aramina's family, had lost their holds through injustice and cruelty. For all the holdless, life was a constant struggle for survival. Then, from the ranks of the criminals and the disaffected, rose a band of renegades, led by the Lady Thella. No one owas safe from Thella's depredations, and now her quarry was Aramina, reputed to have a telepathic link with dragons. But when Thella mistakenly vented her rage on Jayge's family, she made a dangerous enemy. For Jayge was bent on revenge. and he would never let her have the girl who heard dragons!
