Dragons Of Pern Chronicle 02: Dragonquest by Anne McCaffrey, ISBN 9780552116350

> Fiction Books > Science Fiction / Fantasy Books

One of the classic tales in Anne McCaffrey's world-famous Chronicles of Pern.

Another Turn, and the deadly silver Threads began falling again. So the bold dragonriders took to the skies and their magnificent flying dragons swirled and swooped in space, belching flames that destroyed the shimmering strands before they reached the ground.

But F'lar knew he had to find a better way to protect the peoples and lands of Pern, and he had to find it before the rebellious Oldtimers could breed any more dissent . . . before his brother F'nor, would be foolhardy enough to launch another suicide mission . . . and before the mercurial fire-lizards could cause even more trouble.

About the Author: Anne McCaffrey

Anne Inez McCaffrey was born April 1, 1926 and is an American science fiction author best known for her Dragonriders of Pern series.
Anne McCaffrey was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Anne was educated at Stuart Hall, an all-girl boarding school in Staunton, Virginia. She then went to Montclair High School, Montclair, New Jersey, and graduated from Radcliffe College majoring in Slavonic Languages and Literature in 1947. She married H. Wright Johnson in 1950 and has three children. She was divorced in 1970, after which she emigrated to Ireland with her two younger children. McCaffrey lives in a house of her own design in County Wicklow, Ireland, and calls her home Dragonhold-Underhill.
McCaffrey's most famous works are the Dragonriders of Pern series. These are set on an Earth colony which has reverted to medieval times but also produced dragons. These dragons are flown by elite "dragonriders" who communicate telepathically with their dragons, and defend Pern against pernicious "threads" which cross space periodically from a nearby planetoid and threaten to destroy all vegetation on Pern. The short story "Weyr Search", the initial story in the Dragonriders of Pern series, won a Hugo Award for Best Novella. McCaffrey thus became the first woman to win a Hugo for fiction.

Reviews of Dragons Of Pern Chronicle 02: Dragonquest by Anne McCaffrey

Very Addictive
Reviewed by Jennifer, 11/12/2008

Again Anne McCaffrey has outdone herself. She truly is a queen of the fantasy fiction genre. You are seriously on edge thinking what will happen next. The story beautifully blends romance with action and drama. Without revealing anything the story also adds a touch of heartbreak that really transcends and makes you cry.
