The White Dragon - Anne McCaffrey

they are queen riders mainly. Craftmasters and their craftsmen provide necessary services to support Pern, both holders and Weyrs. I have been a big fan of Anne McCaffrey for years. I discovered The White Dragon in my high school library. After reading it, I was fascinated with the thoughts of dragons living on a world, where no technology exsisted. The White Dragon got started my love of Scifi/Fantasy which still goes on strong to this day, 23 years ago. I would recommend anyone who's a dragon fan to get a copy of this book to read. The power of overcoming the odds of life and ...

The White Dragon - Anne McCaffrey

Centuries ago, humans colonised a planet called Pern. In these centuries genetically-engineered creatures called Dragons (due to their similarity to the mythical creatures of earth) were developed to combat an unthinking but deadly enemy called Thread, which fell towards Pern from a nearby planet termed the "Red Star" every 200 years or so.

In the first (DragonFlight), Weyrleader F'Lar and his partner Lessa had to resort to bringing Dragonriders forward in time to save Pern from the Threadfall. ...

Dragonsdawn - Anne McCaffrey

like to believe in after years of being jaded by various wars that have sprung up across Earth. In this 9th novel in the Dragon series by McCaffrey, we get an explanation of how and why colonists set out for Pern and, also, how the fantastic dragons were created. This seems rather odd as, ordinarily, you might expect an explanation of a strange new world to come at the start of a series. I suppose this may be an afterthought on McCaffrey's part to make this fantasy series seem more like traditional science fiction or perhaps to address questions by her fans. The main characters in this novel are Sallah Telgar, Sean Connell and Sorka Hanrahan. Sallah is one of ...
