Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

Anne McCaffrey's Pern is one of the most memorable worlds in science fiction and fantasy. Humans and their flying dragon companions live in fear of thread, a caustic, deadly material that falls sporadically from space. But when the thread doesn't fall for a long time, people become complacent, forgetting that it is the brave dragonriders who can save them from the periodic threat. But when the thread falls, human and dragon heroes must fight the scourge. This edition encompasses the first three unforgettable novels of McCaffrey's epic series: Dragonflight, Dragonquest, and The White Dragon.


Product Description

Finally together in one volume, the first three books in the world's most beloved science fiction series, THE DRAGONRIDERS OF PERN, by Anne McCaffrey, one of the great science fiction writers of all time: DRAGONFLIGHT, DRAGONQUEST, THE WHITE DRAGON. Those who know these extraordinary tales will be able to re-visit with Lessa, F'lar, Ruth, Lord Jaxon, and all the others. And for those just discovering this magical place, there are incomparable tales of danger, deceit, and daring, just waiting to be explored..

1.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT STORY, HORRIBLE EDITION, Sep 8 2003
By Nathan (Hudsonville, Michigan USA) - See all my reviews
In The Dragonriders of Pern, Anne McCaffrey creates a stunning and richly detailed world. It's clear on reading these stories that they are very dear to McCaffrey's heart. Her blend of science, music and human drama are supported by a wholly believable mythology which bridges the gap between our earth and Pern.

Unfortunately, this edition was hastily thrown together without any regard for the author's hard work. On seemingly every page there are typographical errors so severe that McCaffrey's spell is broken. Character names constantly shift spelling. Words are misspelled, mixed up and changed to the point that the prose completely falls apart. At times geographic locations on Pern are switched with character names...this is a work of Science Fiction/Fantasy but when the place where you live starts talking all believability goes out the window. The sloppy editing of the edition was so bad I ended up buying individual copies of Dragonflight, Dragonquest and The White Dragon. I noticed none of the errors I saw in the three-in-one volume.

I highly recommend reading Dragonflight, Dragonquest, and The White Dragon, but save yourself the confusion and disappointment of this three-in-one edition. Buy each separately.

5.0 out of 5 stars Three great books in one, Sep 9 2006
By Y. Slayton - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
To those of you looking for some great fantasy books to read, I think this is an excellent choice. I have read Dragonflight, Dragonquest, and The White Dragon as separate books and they are terriffic.. The story lines are wonderful and the characters are truly amazing. Join one of the greatest weyrwomen of all times and her brave and daring young weyrmater as they protect all of Pern from the legendary and dangerous Thread. You will love these books for sure.

5.0 out of 5 stars My very favorite Sci Fi books, Jul 26 2005
By Cheryl Dumais (Calgary, AB Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
These books are wonderful. I read them several years ago and couldn't put them down. If you love Science Fiction or Fantasy, and I didn't know I did until I read these, I highly recommend them. They should appeal to both men and women but are told from a woman's perspective as many of Anne McCaffrey's books are. Some excitement, some science, some romance there is something for everyone!
