Título: Anne McCaffrey Pern Collection
Autor: Anne McCaffrey
Sinopse: Dragonseye: Thread: deadly silver strands that fall from the sky like rain, devouring every organic thing in their path - animals, plants, and people alike. Who could believe that such a horrible thing could exist? After all, it's been two hundred years since Thread supposedly fell on Pern. No one alive remembers that first onslaught. There's no sign of it anywhere in the world. Only the dragons, originally created to be a weapon against Thread, are still around to remind people that once before their population was decimated, their hopes and dreams and livelihoods almost destroyed forever. For two centuries the dragonriders have been practicing and training, passing down from generation to generation the Threadfighting techniques learned on the fly by their besieged ancestors. And most of the Lord Holders are prepared to protect their people, to provide sanctuary, to assemble groundcrews to search out and destroy any Thread that might be missed by the dragons soaring overhead. All but one. Even now the ominous signs are appearing: the violent winter storms and volcanic eruptions that are said to herald the approach of the Red Star and its lethal spawn. Impossibly, one stubborn Lord Holder, Chalkin of Bitra, refuses to believe - and that disbelief could spell disaster for all of Pern. So while the dragonriders desperately train to face an enemy they've never fought before, they and the other Lord Holders must find a way to deal with Chalkin and protect Bitra. The Masterharper of Pern: In a time when no Thread has fallen for centuries - when, indeed, many are beginning to dare to hope that Thread will never fall again - a boy is born to Harper Hall. His name is Robinton, and he is destined to be one of the most famous and beloved leaders Pern has ever known. It is a perilous time for harpers. They sing of Thread, yet more and more people are beginning to doubt the return of that deadly scourge. They teach reading, writing, history, but Fax - who hates the harpers in

Sobre a editora
Os livros da editora Brilliance Audio apresentam uma variedade notável de narrativas que transitam entre o suspense policial, o thriller psicológico e a investigação detalhada de fatos históricos ou contemporâneos. O ritmo costuma ser intenso, com protagonistas frequentemente envolvidos em conflitos pessoais e externos de alta tensão, como perseguições, mistérios não resolvidos e dilemas morais. Em alguns títulos, há uma exploração do sobrenatural ou do fantástico, enquanto outros se apoiam em relatos investigativos que desconstroem verdades populares ou revelam ameaças reais, como crimes cibernéticos. O catálogo sugere um equilíbrio entre histórias mais narrativas, com foco em personagens e trama, e obras que adotam um tom mais informativo e analítico, especialmente em temas ligados a segurança, economia ou cultura pop.
