Product Description

Ingram

On Pern, humans breed and train great fire-breathing dragons to help them fight the deadly silver Threads that fall from the sky, destroying all life forms, whenever the Red Star passes by the planet. Book available. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


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 An amazing sequel to an amazing story, Sep 9 2006
By Y. Slayton - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Dragonquest (Mass Market Paperback)
In Dragonquest, Anne Mccaffrey continues her stroy from dragonflight, bringing back all the wonderful characters and places from the first book. Once again, she has created a masterpiece that is very intersting to read. Her writing is extraodinary, and this is a book to read time and time again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the Pern books, Jun 7 2004
By Sarah Sammis "Avid BookCrosser" (Hayward, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Dragonquest: (#2) (Mass Market Paperback)
Dragonquest is the best of the Dragon Riders of Pern series. I remember being so engrossed in the story that I managed to read the entire book on the way home from camp one summer.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Second Dragonriders of Pern book, Aug 8 2003
By Mimi (Benicia, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dragonquest (Mass Market Paperback)
Before you read this book, you should read Dragonflight to get to know background info and characters, but it isn't extremely necessary.
This book starts seven turns after Dragonflight.
Lessa and F'lar (the Weyrwoman and Weyrleader of Benden Weyr)are having difficulties with the Oldtimers. A lot has changed in four hundred years and some of the Oldtimers won't accept that change. Most of the Oldtimers don't want to have anything to do with the modern world and try to isolate themselves. Some even try to pick fights with Benden Weyr and take things that are not part of the tithing of the Holds.
Fire lizards are rediscovered in this book and F'nor and Brekke both Impress.
The Dragonriders must unite together to save Pern from the deadly Thread. The Thread is falling out of pattern thus becomes unpredictable. None of the Oldtimers are telling the other Weyrs about unpredictable Threadfall in their Hold and Weyr areas.
F'lar knows he must do something before Pern is destroyed.

Some events in this book lead to other key events in other books such as The White Dragon and all the Weyrs of Pern.

5.0 out of 5 stars AS GOOD AS THE FIRST!
First of all, read the first book in the series (Dragonflight) by Anne McCaffery before you read this one. Besides why wouldn't you want to, it's as good as this one. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent world-building, great characters, but not perfect
I disagree with Daniel C. Sorbal. IMO Dragonflight is far, far better than Dragonquest. But Dragonquest is still very, very good! They are both very special books. Read more
