I love all of Anne McCaffrey’s Dragon Books. They make you want to be there and to be apart of her well-constructed world.
All of the dragons of Pern books are wonderful! This is a world as finely crafted as Middle Earth with characters you will come to love like family.
I’ve read most of Anne McCaffrey’s “dragon” books. They are engaging and entertaining.
A classic. Another world, where deadly thread-rain occurs. The only thing that can destroy the thread-rain are the fire-breathing dragons. But so few dragons remain, can they protect the entire world?
Great characters, and their relationship with the dragons are fascinating. This is the first book of the world of Pern, and reading this, you’ll want more.
I love Anne McAffrey’s Dragonriders books. I read them many years ago, and still love them!
All of the Pern series are really full bodied , character driven and will capture your imagination. It has a well thought out plot that takes place in a well crafted world. I have read almost everything this author has written and I find it sad that the current crop of female writers simply don’t measure up.
Anne McCaffery is my favorite author. Her world Pern is a true masterpiece. I have everything she’s written in hard copy
Love all of the “Pern” books.
Have all the books in paperback, adding readers now. Love the series.
Love this series!
This is one of my all time favorites!
I enjoyed this book so much that I had to buy the second book right away.
SI FI__I have read many of Macaffey’s Dragon Books – I enjoy all of her books.
A great tale of humans adapting to new circumstances but also stagnating in a comfortable (if you are in power) rut. This is one of the classics series that has been going on for decades and this is the first book. Right now the price is great and you should really get a copy. The first 3 books are wonderful the 4th slows down in quality but I still reread it. The first 3 books in the companion series Harper Hall are excellent. Boy can you get a big hate on for a fictional character! These 7 books are a read once a year for me. good sci-fi without space battles.
A great story and series this is the 5th time I’ve read story. Miss the Dragon Lady
You can’t be well read in the Sci Fi/Fantasy genre and not have rea dc of Pern, the planet with dragons. Is this the original dragon fantasy? EVEN BETTER! Man’s best friend has wings and breaths fire.
I loved all the Anne McCaffrey Pern books. Such a wonderful new world and characters.
Wonderful, wish it were longer
