But the gifted tracker discovers that a far more treacherous plot is unfolding. A heartless thief named Tenim has realized there is profit to be made from firestone, the volatile mineral that enables the dragons of Pern to burn the lethal Thread out of the sky. When the last remaining firestone mine explodes, a desperate race begins to find a new deposit of the deadly but essential mineral. Sure enough, Tenim has a murderous plan to turn tragedy to his own advantage. Now Pellar and his new friends--the kind and gentle Halla, a child of the Shunned, and Cristov, the son of a corrupt miner--must stop Tenim. If they fail, it will mean the end for Pern and its dragonriders. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Grittier than the early parts of the series; Todd's apparently brought a wider, more current worldview to Pern.\"--\u003ci\u003eThe San Diego Union-Tribune \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"These fabled dragons still cast a spell.\"--\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Mass Market Paperbound\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Random House Worlds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/27\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780345480293\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.98h x 4.27w x 1.15d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e108734 \/ Dragon's Fire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.8 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 17\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Anne McCaffrey,Todd J.
