A good change,
This review is from: Dragonflight (The Dragon Books) (Paperback)
Anne McCaffrey is most widely known as a Sci-Fi writer. But I would class this book as fanatsy and seeing as im a fantasy reader rather than a Sci Fi reader I must recommend this book as her best work. Set on the planet of Pern, whose inhabitants have been out of contact with Earth for so long the colonists have forgotten the very existance of Earth, with the threat of the Red Star and its falling Threads, which destroy all life they come into contact with, the eary colonists of Pern bred dragons to combat this threat. The book is set 400 years after the last fall of Threads when the Dragonmen, the riders of the dragons, are looking for a young beautiful girl to bond with the new dragon queen when she hatches. A wonderful tale from a wonderful author. And the best bit is, its one of many so it will keep you in books for a long while! :-)

This review is from: Dragonflight (The Dragon Books) (Paperback)
This is the first book in the dragon series by anne Mccaffrey. I am only 13 and i loved every minute of this book. The plots are enthralling and the detail exquisite. It draws you in and takes you on a ride you will never forget. The whole series is priceless. I couldn't put them down and read all 15 in 2 months!!!

The first of many,
By Rwth of Cornovii (Birmingham UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dragonflight (The Dragon Books) (Paperback)
I read this for the first time about the time it came out. Having read it again for about the 7th time, I must say that it is as good as it always was.
It is written in 3 or more novella form, and each episode is self contained, but follows on from the one before. Anne McCaffrey set the scene and planted the characters for the whole series, but without this firm beginning, the strong characterisations would not have worked so well in the later books. F'lar and Lessa particularly are bound together in a project that will last the rest of their lives, and they are aided by the Craftmasters. The Lawyer, PR man musician Robinton, the engineer Fandarel and of course, the ex-dragonrider, weaver Lytol who takes charge of the baby lord of the great estate of Ruatha, fallen into disrepair and unproductiveness. F'lar's loyal brother is a useful sidekick, but it is the dragons that tend to star. One can tire of the matching of dragons to riders, but in this book it is fresh and moving. It works on many levels and is worth reading.
