But not everyone on Pern was part of that system of mutual care and protection, particularly those who had been rendered holdless 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. Others, like Aramina's family, had lost their holds through injustice and cruelty. For all the holdless, life was a constant struggle for survival.

My introduction to Anne McCaffery's books was when I was sending a care package to my son who wanted the latest Pern book. I decided to read it , and I was hooked. I've been a fan ever since, not just of her Pern books, but also her other series too. Acorna, Freedom, Power,Doona,Pegasus, Rowen,Crystal Singer, Brainships and her non-Sci-Fi's as well. She is a wonderful Writer. Joyce W.
