I too just finished "Moreta" By Anne McCaffrey, and
also found it excellent.  Well worth buying in hardback
(but I got it at a discount bookstore for only $8.23)

The reason it continues none of the other story lines
is that it takes place in a previuos turn.  In one of
the Dragon{song,singer,drums} books, it appears that
one of the most-requested ballads at Gathers is
"Moreta's ride".  She is a genuine heroine, and I think
that it isn't a spoiler (at least for anyone who's read
the other books  - is there anyone who hasn't? Why
not?) to say that the sense of impending tragedy
through the book gave a good deal of poignancy to many
of the scenes.  

Buy it.
