Product Description

Ingram

The third volume in a series of adventures in the land of Pern. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.


From the Publisher

There are dragons all over Anne McCaffrey's house. Some she's bought, but many have been made for her by adoring fans and given to her as gifts. I don't make dragons, of course. But whenever circumstances allow, I do try to bring her American bacon, something she can't get easily in Ireland, and something which she has taught all her friends there to love, as well! I remember the first time I went to visit her, when she was still living in her old, much smaller but very homey, house. My husband and I arrived at the doorstep, and she immediately began bustling about, frying up some of the bacon we'd brought and sharing a lovely late breakfast with us before sending us off to the hotel for a nap. She made us dinner that night, too--the one and only time in my life that I've actually liked shrimp cocktail. Maybe that's because if you squint your eyes and look sideways, shrimp are kind of dragonlike, and I was eating them in the right company!

5.0 out of 5 stars The third book-Amazing, Sep 9 2006
By Y. Slayton - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: White Dragon (Mass Market Paperback)
This story introduces two new fabulous characters, Lord jaxom and his dragon Ruth. This is truly a great book, and it's interesting storyline and great writing, as well as the bond between Ruth and Jaxom make this a great and wonderful story to read.

3.0 out of 5 stars What happened? Worst of the 3 dragon books., Jan 4 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The White Dragon (School & Library Binding)
The worst of the 3 books. Jaxom is spoiled and extremely trampy when it comes to being with women. McCaffrey seems to hint that Jaxom will be with Menolly at the end, and in the middle of the story changes this so he will end up with another person. It seems as if McCaffrey changed her mind in the middle of her writing. The story goes through dry spells where there is no action and the plot does not seem to be moving anywhere. Jaxom is a spoiled child (even when he claims he's a man but makes actions as a child) whom no one seems to put in his place and ends up messing with people's lives with no consequences. It is hard to empathize with a character who takes people's feelings and the consequences of their actions for granted.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great Dragonrider book, Aug 9 2003
By Mimi (Benicia, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: White Dragon (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the first Anne Mc Caffrey book I read. I found it very confusing with turns = years and Weyr = a home for dragons and their riders and other terms. I reccomend that any first time Pern readers read Dragonflight, Dragonquest or Dragonsdawn first.
This book was great with Jaxom developing with a crush and the critisism that Jaxom and Ruth (Jaxom's white dragon) get because never has there been a dragonrider the leader of a hold and Ruth is a runt and white. No dragons are white. In addition to being a white runt, firelizards seem to like Ruth, which makes them unpopular with some holdfolk.
Jaxom and Ruth must learn how to fly and breathe fire together without anyones help.
