As a kid I read a short story about a wimpy kid who lived in this village and they had a field with dragon eggs in it. The other kids would pick on this kid and on the day that the eggs where to hatch the kids beat up the kid rather badly so he could barely make it to the hatching. At the...

Hi, I'm looking for two science fiction books that I read during the early 90's. I think that both was part of two separate series. 1. A stocky young man is landed/stranded on a planet with a few other youngsters (at least two girls and one boy). He is underestimated because they believe him to...

I first read this book when the UK paperback came out in 1970 and was blown away by it. I read it at least a couple more times over the next few years, but not since. Having recently reviewed Naomi Novik's Temeraire, which borrows heavily from Dragonflight in its concept of dragons, I thought it...

I read a short story in an anthology, years ago. The story was written by Anne McCaffrey. It was about a young boy who could make things disappear by looking at them through a tube of cardboard and blinking! He makes next-door's cat disappear, then the house across the road (together with the...

please stop him. dragonheart was not a very good book. okay so he is telling the story of the dragon riders that went back in time during the dragon plague. fine...poor storytelling. i mean his books are getting worse instead of better. there were so many thing i did not like. the...

Does anyone know if there is going to be a sequel to Freedom's Ransom (Freedom Series) or a continuation of the series/universe of some nature? There are so many loose ends, specifically, who and where are the Farmers.

I found these quizzes on another site, and thought I'd post them here, as there isn't anything like this here. Which Pernese dragon would you impress? Quiz: What colour Pernese dragon would you impress? [Females only] | Get More Quizzes at Quizilla And Quiz: What colour Pernese dragon...

So we all have our favorite people from Anne's books. Now who do you like the least, and of course...why?

I was just wondering what people though of how Anne ends her books. Only read her Pern series myself but she seems to end them kind of abruptly and I think there should be more to them sometimes.

I am looking for a certain book which I think is a series. I don'y know tha name and I remember a little about the book. All I remember is a spaceship crashes on a planet the is farmed buy robots and one of the suviours is part cat. They have to move in to the rocks because at night something...

The title says it all. How many Pern novels have you read so far? I'm about at four, once I finish Moreta I'll be at five.

Ok, i might be new, but the burning question for me, is what, who, why is Ruth? Lord Jaxom's dragon...? Do any of you good folk have a good explination?:eek:

Original review by Jane Jinn: I was intrigued, but disappointed. I had been a fan of Anne McCaffrey's for several years and have read, re-read, and analysed her books while waiting for each new one to come out, but this is where I gave up and stopped reading. Robinton is just too perfect...

This October is the 40th anniversary of the publication of "Weyr Search", the first story about Pern. "40 Years of Pern" commemorates this grand occasion, a book of essays by Pern fans, explaining how they came to first read Pern, and what it has meant in their lives. Some tales are touching...

Eragon. It has said to be that this book angerd fans of Mcafry to the limit because of it similer fetures of dragonriders and telpathic connection of the the rider and their dragons. Did you hate this book? Or did you see it as an acplistiment for a young boy who started writing at 15...

Rearranging my bookcase recently led to my rediscovering several novels that I thought I'd lost, and I was pleased because they were some of my favourites. That got me thinking about which one - out of any of Anne's series - was my actual favourite. I think my favourite has to be The White...

I've read & enjoyed "Pegasus In Space" Do any more knowledgable Anne McCaffrey fans have any suggestions as to what books would be best for me to read next?

We need a new thread about our Mccaffrey. So here it is, post anything or everything you have to say about Anne and her books, Pern or otherwise.

I'd like to put in a word for this one. Pretty well straight SF, with an engaging heroine, an unusual plot, and a light and amusing touch. An easy, feel-good sort of read. It's still hanging on to its place on my bookshelves after over 35 years - in fact, I think it'll soon be time to read it...

Who is your favourite character from any of Anne McCaffrey's novels? I find it difficult to limit my favourites to just one. I think Piemur has always been a favourite, as well as Menolly (in the earlier books). Out of the dragonriders I always like T'Gellan for his humour, and from the crafts...
