***********************************************************************************
As a small boy,
Readis Lilcamp
is rescued by the '
shipfish
' when he and his
uncle Alemi
are caught in a sudden squall beyond
Paradise River Hold
. AIVAS confirms that the big fish are called
dolphins
, part of the original settlers of
Pern
.
On Earth they had been partnered with men, having learned to speak intelligible words. Readis, his Uncle Alemi and bronze
Gadareth's
rider,
T'lion of Eastern Hold
, are determined to restore the 'doll fins' to their rightful place in the ecology of Pern...and the partnership of men.
Meanwhile, the fight to rid Pern of the terrible nightmare of
Thread
is still all consuming. While
Lord Jaxom
,
F'lar
and his
dragonriders
struggle to implement AIVAS' instructions, other challenges are issued and answered, including one which threatens young T'lion in the shape of his older brother, a brown rider, who harbours a deep grudge.
And, of course, Readis must win his parents' consent to his association with the
'sea dragons of Pern'
-
the bottlenose dolphins - for they could be vital to the survival of Pern...
