Product Description

From the Publisher
Two novellas from the creator of Pern.

From the Back Cover
It was in Moreta's time - a time of legend, of heroic valour, of terrible Threadfall, and the Great Plague that devastated both Holders and Dragonfolk. For Lady Nerilka of Fort Hold, the tragedy was twofold for, wth the death of her mother and sister, her father's mistress took possession of the Hold. Angry and betrayed, Nerilka decided to escape and, as Pern seethed in turmoil, she began her perilous journey to Ruatha, Lord Alessan, and an unknown destiny.

NERILKA'S STORY is a gripping tale in Anne McCaffrey's world-famous Chronicles of Pern.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read,teamed up with a good one!, 6 Oct 2000
By A Customer
Nerilka's Story is a view of the events around the book Moreta: Dragonlady of Pern, but told from the view of Nerilka(our heroine, hooray!), daughter of Lord Holder Tolocamp (major baddy, boo! ).

This book is tighter than the usual Dragon series, although Dragondrums and DragonSong have a similar flavour, being more closely tied with central characters also. But this one is written as if by Nerilka in a memoir form which is quite charming and much more than a 'prequel'. It stands well on its own even if you haven't read the Moreta book - I read Moreta afterwards and that was great too.

Being shorter, its nice that The Coelura is squeezed into this volume as well, but it does not stand up well in comparison with Nerilka. The plot is fair enough but has Flash Gordon sort of ambience and the society structure seems to owe much to Michael Moorcock's sci-fi-fantasy world - unintended I'm sure! Still a good read, teamed up with a great one! A worthy addition to the McCaffrey bookshelf collection.
