About the Book

VOLUME 1 in the DRAGONRIDERS OF PERN 'The world building opened my eyes to what fantasy could be; the characters introduced me to women in roles of power; and the romances left my young heart aflutter. No series has ever captured my imagination so completely as Pern did.' Susan Dennard, New York Times bestselling author of the Witchlands Series \"Anne McCaffrey, one of the queens of science fiction, knows exactly how to give her public what it wants\" - THE TIMES 'Anne McCaffrey's Pern books forever changed how readers looked at dragons-not just fearsome beasts to be slain, but bonded warrior partners...books that shaped a generation and more of fantasy writers.' Cassandra Clare, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author \"Read Dragonflight and you're confronted with McCaffrey the storyteller in her prime...\" - SFX On a beautiful world called Pern, Lessa is an outcast survivor-her parents murdered, her birthright stolen-a fierce young woman who has never stopped dreaming of revenge. That is, until an ambitious young dragonrider, F'lar, offers her something even greater- the chance to lead Pern at his side by Impressing a golden dragon with whom she will share a telepathic bond more intimate than any human connection. Although there is also her intense relationship with F'lar himself. But Lessa's fierceness and courage will be put to the test when an ancient scourge returns to the land- a deadly silver spore that falls from the sky, destroying all it touches. Only dragons can fight this Thread, and there are not enough dragons to protect all of Pern. Lessa and her dragon may hold the key to their world's salvation . . . but executing her daring plan may be costlier than she ever envisioned. Don't miss the original trilogy from Anne McCaffrey's beloved Dragonriders of Pern series- DRAGONFLIGHT . DRAGONQUEST . THE WHITE DRAGON

About the Author :
Anne McCaffrey was one of the world's leading science fiction writers, and the first female science fiction writer to achieve New York Times bestseller status. She won both the Hugo and Nebula awards as well as the Margaret A. Edwards' Lifetime Literary Achievement Award. She was deeply honoured to have been made a Grand Master of Science Fiction in 2005, and was inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2006. Born and raised in the US and of Irish extraction, she moved to Ireland in 1970 where she lived in the 'Garden of Ireland', County Wicklow, until her death in 2011 at the age of eighty-five. She is the creator of the Dragonriders of Pern series.

Review :
Read Dragonflight and you're confronted with McCaffrey the storyteller in her prime, staking a claim for being one of the influential fantasy and SF novelists of her generation - and doing it, remarkably, in the same novel Pern is where dragon riding was conceived, and fifty years later, Anne McCaffrey’s epic tale remains a masterpiece of adventure, intrigue, and romance Anne McCaffrey's Pern novels are truly foundational books. The seeds of every dragonrider story are here, if not of every take on magical bonding. They carried me away as a young reader, and I hope they'll do so for new readers now. Anne McCaffrey’s Pern books forever changed how readers looked at dragons—not just fearsome beasts to be slain, but bonded warrior partners. She taught a very young me that there was nothing cooler than a dragon you could ride, a dragon that could read your thoughts, that the mastery of a dragon was, basically, the best thing that could happen to you. Combine that with the wonderful world-building of Pern and her unforgettable characters and you get books that shaped a generation and more of fantasy writers. She was a true original. Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern series was the formative series for me growing up. My best friend and I would spend hours each day pretending we lived in Pern. The world building opened my eyes to what fantasy could be; the characters introduced me to women in roles of power; and the romances left my young heart aflutter. No series has ever captured my imagination so completely as Pern did. Before there was a Katniss Everdeen – or even a Hermione Granger – there were Menolly and Killashandra Ree. Many fans grew up to write fantasy and science fiction, paving the way for the next generations of female readers and writers…McCaffrey’s legacy lives on. She was not only the first woman to win a Hugo award, and the first to win a Nebula, she also skewered the way women were portrayed in science fiction in her debut, Restoree.
