Product Description
Perfect for diehard fans as well as readers discovering McCaffrey for the first time, this dazzling new volume features three classic novels from the early years of Pern–Dragonsdawn, Dragonseye, and Moreta.
The spectacular planet Pern seems a paradise to its new colonists–until unimaginable terror turns it into hell. Suddenly deadly spores are falling like silver threads from the sky, destroying everyone and everything they touch. Pern is in mortal danger. The only thing that can stop the Thread is the fire from Pern’s flying dragons. Now, the colonists must join forces with the dragons to burn the Thread before the parasite devours any and all organic life–and turns lush Pern into a barren wasteland.
On Dragonwings traces the story of the early generations on Pern. From the colonists who first created the fire-breathing dragons for protection, through the rise of the dragonriders, these three novels set readers on a daring quest to protect a beautiful and extraordinary planet.

4.0 out of 5 stars
3 old books in 1 new book,
By A.J.W. "wcu_rosebud" (robbinsville, nc United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: On Dragonwings (Paperback)
I preordered this book without realizing that it was a collection of 3 old books (Dragonsdawn, Dragonseye, and Moreta). Unfortunately, I had read all but one already. I would suggest getting the book to anyone who has NOT read at least 2 of these but otherwise it isn't worth it.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Still a great book.,

Don't be fooled, this is three old books stuffed into a new cover. Die-hard McCaffery fans beware: don't buy this one if you own all the others! But people new to the Dragonriders of Pern series? It's a great, inexpensive way to get the backstory on all your favorite characters! It's a terrific story about survival and friendship. I recommend it. For you people that have read all the books and are looking for something new: Dragon's Kin, by Anne McCaffery just came out (I'm writing this Dec. 2003) and go check out that one! Haven't read it yet, but it sounds great and I'm looking forward to it!
1.0 out of 5 stars
Yet another republishing,
By A Customer
This review is from: On Dragonwings (Paperback)
Don't mistakenly think this is anything new. It really burns me when publishers do this. This is: Dragonsdawn, Dragonseye, and Moreta repackaged. In tiny fine print at the very bottom of the cover.
