A fantastic story – you think because of the Dragons it is a fantasy. Surprise! Its Science Fiction!!! And a fantastic read. This one I will read over and over….
I love the series.
This is an epic tale of survival in a fantasy world. The world is under attack by a life dissolving life form from space and our hero’s must band the world together to save everyone. This is syfi fantasy with a twist of futuristic. Wonderfully written. Amazing world building. Stunning story line.
One of the best by Anne McCaffrey. I enjoy it each time I read it.
Do yourself a favor and start from the very beginning with this fabulous series. The characters grow and evolve as the plot unwinds and winds back up again and again. This world is so well constructed, the writing so wonderful that I even dreamed of Pern – and didn’t want to wake up!

All of the books in this series are exceptional. I have read many of them and they are all great

Loved all the Pern books and I have read most of them. All the reasons why I liked them is all the descriptions above. They have it all.
The series eventually got out of hand, but the first three novels are well worth the read.
read all the books in the Pern collection & enjoyed them all. I marvel at the authors who set up complete worlds with unknown kinds of animals & plants. peopled with unusual creatures with fantastic lives & loves, traditions and moral rules so different from the norm.
I’ve read them all, and enjoyed each and every one.
Dragonriders of Pern is one of my highest rated series. I have owned, read and reread this series since my teen years. The story starts with the heroine remembering how she lost her family and place at her home. While the dragonriders are on search for a female rider who will impress the last dragon queen egg. Dragonriders are out of favor as the …
Still one of my favorite authors, Miss her Dearly
Enjoyed the world building and the unique culture and animals. Engaging characters.
It’s a classic. Incredible start to an incredible series.
This series takes you to a new world full of wonder and adventure. Great read.
A favorite since my teenage years. Made me fall in love with dragons.
Read (and reread) this book and all other Dragons of Pern series.
Love this series
