The Dolphins of Pern (2002)
“With advice and counsel from Aivas, Weyrs, Halls, and Holds combined their efforts with the technology available from Aivas and altered the orbit of the Red Star so that it would never again come close enough to Pern to threaten the planet with Threadfall.

Only Thread did not stop falling, a demonstrable fact that confused m...any, including Readis.
“Then why did you celebrate?” he asked his father four days later, when Thread fell across Paradise River Hold.
“Because Thread will end—this is the last Pass.”
“It is? Harper says that we’ve had it for centuries and every time we think it’s going to stop—in a long Interval—it comes back anyhow.”
Jayge grinned at his son, tall for his eleven Turns, and tried not to glance down at the wasted right leg, which cocked on tiptoe beside the uninjured left foot.MoreLess
