Product Description

From the Publisher
The first chronicle of Pern. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

From the Back Cover
The men who rode the dragons were a breed apart. Chosen when the dragons were first hatched, they became soulmates for life with the huge, magnificent beasts they controlled - the green, blue, brown and bronzes - beautiful - terrible - the only creatures who could defend the planet Pern from the blood-red star. But without the Queen, the dragons would become extinct. Only the gigantic, golden Queen could breed the new flights. And the Queen was fading...dying...leaving behind one last, huge, golden egg.

DRAGONFLIGHT is the first book in Anne McCaffrey's world-famous Chronicles of Pern. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good change, 6 Feb 2004
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! :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars too good for words, 8 Jan 2004
By A Customer
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!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The book that got me into Fantasy, 19 Dec 2000
By A Customer
This was my first fantasy book (way back in my teens) and re-reading it recently made me realise just how got it was (and is). Unfortunately Anne's latest books have lost their sparkle, but I'd urge everyone to go back and read the start of the Dragon series - they are pure FANTASY!
