I love anything Pern but the series with Todd McCaffrey has some twists that seem inconsistant with his mother's portrayal of the citizens of Pern. Dragon's Time has carried the story to some interesting places but this generation of riders are not as conservative as they are referenced to in later years as written by his Mother. I plan to finish his current series but I doubt I will read any more Pen written by him. I think would rather read a series written completely in his own "voice". Evidently, I read part way through this book the last time I had it, because when I went back to reread this (to get to book 24), I didn't remember most. You absolutely have to read this one to get to any book after as this explains how the Time Knot comes into existence.All the time jumping makes it a bit hard to keep track of, and there seems to be a lot of overlap with this book and others.
Considering all of the books I have read in this series, this was the most confusing.
