There be Dragons!
I have had a lifelong love of all things dragon and have long been a fan of Anne McCaffrey and her Dragonriders of Pern series. Such a fan, that I've read my paperback versions again and again until the only thing holding them together were rubber bands! Thus began my quest to find hardbound copies and thanks to Amazon this became a reality. Anne McCaffrey's Pern, dragons, and their riders ...

A Gift of Dragons35 reviews
Anne McCaffrey
Del Rey, 2002
Wonderful Introduction
I came into the Pern series and Anne McCaffrey's writing when I was around the age of 10. I found the books wonderful and exciting. The way McCaffrey gives life to her characters is amazing! A Gift of Dragons is great for people who have never read the Pern series and for those who love the series.
The first three stories are parts of larger books, I own them all. The fourth story is new and ...

Deluge: Book Three of The Twins of Petaybee 7 reviews

Deluge: Book Three of the Twins of Petaybee
Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Scarborough are a very good combination. As good a book as either has turned out. Well developed story. Younger readers will thoroughly enjoy. Not bad for the older reader as well.

The return of the Thread
It has been over two hundred and fifty years since the first humans arrived on Pern. The original colonists had been, for the most part at least, dedicated to the idea of establishing a human society that was not dependent on technology, that would go back to a simpler way of life than the war torn world they had left behind. What they had not realized until it was too late to turn back or call ...

Dragon Harper (Dragonriders of Pern, The) 37 reviews
Anne Mccaffrey, Todd J. Mccaffrey
Del Rey, 2007
Not excellent, but good and worth reading
I think a couple of these reviews are a bit harsh. Sure, Todd has to find his way around and always will be measured against his mother's legacy - and that's a tough one!
So far I've liked all the "mother/son" collaboration results. This one is not so much about dragons, but honestly - I don't think a Pern-novel has to be about dragons. I've always enjoyed the intricate display of a much ...

Maelstrom (The Twins of Petaybee, Book 2)
It kept up the pace and the story line as book 1 left off. I really enjoyed it and very much look forward to Book 3.

All the Weyrs of Pern (Dragonriders of Pern Series)70 reviews

Telepathic dragons and a millennia-old computer - this is the perfect capper to the Pern series...
With a respectful nod to all her brilliant other works, when I think of Anne McCaffrey, I always think of dragons first, and, specifically, the telepathic dragons of Pern and their bold riders. From Dragonflight (Dragonriders of Pern), the first published novel about Pern, all the way up to The Skies of Pern, I have so enjoyed the ride. The Chronicles of Pern (or maybe the Dragonriders of Pern) ...

They are: The Survey: P.E.R.N - This is the shortest story of the collection and it deals with the original surveyors who were mapping that part of the galaxy and recommended Pern for colonization.

Fabulous costumer service
This was a B-day gift for a close friend. I was worried it wouldn't get here in time for her B-day. It made it on time for her B-day, although it didn't arrive on the day it was supposed to. Without question or having to contact costumer service, my shipping was refunded to me because of the inconvenience. I appreciate Amazon for thier fast action and that I didn't have to complain like people ...

The Dolphins Of Pern
I loved this book. Anne McCaffrey did it again. She is amazing! The dolphins are just as vibrant as her dragons. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the Pern series.

This book is a winner!
My admiration for Anne McCaffrey knows no bounds. I think she has created some wonderful fiction. I credit her Harper Hall series with fostering a great love of reading and music in me at a very young age. I found the first book DragonSong at the library when I was about eleven or twelve and proceeded to devour everything I could find that she had put out. I eagerly awaited each new book. I ...

Typical Anne McCaffrey - Great!
This is the 2nd novel of Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series.
It is written so that it can be read not only in the series, but also stand alone.
Our local library classifies these novels as "Science Fiction" and/or "Fantasy". I classify them as "Great Reading". Anne McCaffrey is one of the best authors I have read. Her other works are very good also.
If you want to start with the ...

Great story!
WOW! Anne McCaffrey is an amazing author, and she doesn't disappoint in her start to the Pern Series. What a great book! Interesting characters, and you really felt the hardships of the colonists when the thread started to fall. Two thumbs way up!

"The Skies of Pern" is a continuation of all the other "Pern" stories. They all provide me with a society I am able to relate to. Excellent!!!

Another great book from Anne McCaffery
Nerilka's Story is a back story to Moreta. It takes place at the same time. A wonderful story about a lesser know character.

The Renegades of Pern (Dragonriders of Pern Series)30 reviews
Anne McCaffrey
Del Rey, 1990
Renegades of pern
I recomend this book if you are reading the entire Pern series in chronological order. Renegades will seem choppy if you read it alone and most of the secnes will not make sense if read before the other books. Renegades fills in a lot of time gaps that reading the others leave out. I recomend this book to all Pern fans.
