Synopsis[]

The stories contained within First Fall are united primarily by their setting. The stories are not contiguous to each other, but rather cover a variety of events both prior to the colonization of Pern and throughout the first few decades following arrival on Pern. The stories mostly concern the exodus of the colonists from the Southern Continent following the first appearance of Thread.
