Did a recent re-read of this, one of many childhood favorites by Anne McCaffrey, because I acquired a nice first edition hard cover. However, it turned out being very timely/topical. I almost entirely forgotten that it centers around a zootonic pandemic, and both responsible and irresponsible responses and thought processes of the people effected. America could have stood to learn a few lessons from Pern here. And lets not forget the tragic ending.
