Has anyone read the newest Pern book? I just finished it today, and I absolutely LOVED it! It was really great, and parts of it seem really familiar... I believe this is one of the other stories from another angle... at least in part...

As was announced to a private audience at Anne's recent 80th birthday party, there is a movie deal between Anne and Copperheart Entertainment to produce a Pern movie. They've optioned the whole series (which is typical, you never option one book of series), and plan to start with Dragonflight...

Rumors of a new Pern movie deal have been flaring up recently. And the concept art posted here seems to lend credence to them.

Hi there everyone, I am new to this forum, but I was hoping one of you could help me find a particular book from the Pern series. I have read the books in more or less "time-correct" order, and in the latest book that i am reading, "All the Weyrs of Pern" the one with the AIVIS, there are...

I don't know about every one elas but, I think the covers to Anne's books look much better in the USA. (Which is where I'm from originally....put away the pitch forks pleassseeee) Does anyone find themselves drawn to the artwork on the covers? Like when Michael Whelan did some of the covers to...

I thought that I had everything Anne had written...BOY was I wrong! I've only had my computer for over a month and instantly fell in love...I've seen quit a few books on ebay (which I've got) some on Amazon but I'm afraid I'm a bit picky when it comes to second hand books. I like mine to be new...

I read some where, (can't remember where) that the series Crystal Singer was a brain wave of Annes due to something happening in her singing career. Has anyone elas heard this too?

I liked this series...anyone out there think the same? Please give me your views...thanks!

Hello, I am new to the ways of the Forum and hope that I don't offend anyone by the weilding powers of my keyboard.....just kidding. I have read Dragon's Kin and Dragons Blood and was wondering what other readers have thought about the books. Likes...dislikes that sort of thing. I am at present...

Has anyone read this? Is it as good as the rest of the earlier stories?

To be on the shelves in 2006 is "Changelings" book 1 of a series co-written by Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough. Is Ms Scarborough as good an author as Anne? If so, I guess it will have to go on the 'to buy' list...:)

Some friends and I are holding a trivia contest for fans of Anne McCaffrey on October 8-9th. Quite a few nice prizes are to be won! For details please visit http://mccaffreyquest.srellim.org/

managed to find my own copy of the ship who sang, yesterday, and rearead it last night. one thing struck me as very obvious, although probably not a new thought, the novel seems to have very little cohesion, rather more a collection of short stories with a common theme, and i've got most of the...

One of the things that i love the most about MsMccaffreys books, is the positive logic of the hero's and heroines. A job needs doing, and they do it. their solutions are practicle and logical. Governments buy into this logic and mankind is better served. and if the worse comes to the worst...

Hey I'm new here. I just recently started reading The Pern Books & I love them I've been reading them for about two weeks and can't put them down. I've read the harper hall trilogy, and the first book in the pern set I've just started the second they're great. I've almost bought them all and...

A Diversity of Dragons is a book by Anne McCaffrey, but it's more like a story in which she and a man named Eppi or something like that are telling the history of dragons to a young man who has a dragon problem. It's a short but very cool story, and the tales that are told by Anne and Eppi are...

I keep finding vague references to the filming of the Dragonriders of Pern as a television series. From the references that I've found, it seems they will be filming it as a concept, rather than using the actual details of the books. But I can't find more than rumour and whimsey. Has anyone got...

Has anyone read these, or her other Talent books, I found them really good, but especially Pegasus in Space, but that's just a personal interest since I love astronomy.What's your favoriate one?

Ms MacCaffrey's son Todd has taken the baton from his mother with regard to the dragon riders of Pern series, and with her blessing, and occasional help released one book (Dragon Kin) with a second (Dragon Blood) due for release this year. I've not as yet been able to get a copy, but i'd be...
