Dragonquest by Anne McCaffrey
In this sequel to the pioneering science fiction-fantasy novel set on the planet Pern, the inhabitants continue to grapple with the deadly threat of Threadfall, a spore that devours all organic material in its path. As the dragonriders, who telepathically bond with dragons to fight Thread, struggle with internal conflicts and the challenge of adapting to new technology, the protagonist seeks to unite the old ways with the new to ensure the survival of their world. Tensions rise between the conservative old-timers and the progressive new generation, leading to political intrigue and a quest for harmony between the dragonriders and the rest of the Pernese society.
