She was the first woman to win a Hugo Award for fiction (Best Novella, Weyr Search, 1968) and the first to win a Nebula Award (Best Novella, Dragonrider, 1969). Restoree, Dragonriders of Pern, The Ship Who SangĪnne Inez McCaffrey (1 April 1926 – 21 November 2011) was an American-Irish writer known for the Dragonriders of Pern science fiction series. Is there a book that follows the core plot of people trying to protect Pern from Threadfall? Grubs and flamethrowers and finding lost technology from eons past, rather than "why are the girls at music school so mean to me".īTW: I've not actually finished White Dragon yet, I'm planning ahead so I can buy the right book so no spoilers please.Dragonhold-Underhill, County Wicklow, Ireland It's a world of telepathic teleporting dragons, I didn't expect it to be interrupted by three books about teenage growing pains and an almost Disney-esque melodrama of "why won't my parents just let me sing?".
Frankly I was thoroughly bored of the Harper Hall trilogy and if I'd known how little of substance happens in those books I would have read the plot summary and skipped them. I'm not sure if I want to read ALL the side stories because there's a lot of them and I've heard some are of questionable quality. Some are by her son, others are novellas or short story collections, they're all over the place.Īre there any direct sequels set after The White Dragon that I should read next? Or I'm thinking of going back to Dragonsdawn and getting the beginning of the story. The thing is there's dozens of books set all over the timeline, prequels and interquels and side-quels running in parallel. Then there's Renegades Of Pern and All Weyrs Of Pern set concurrently with the main trilogy from a different perspective. Then there's Moreta and Nerilka's Story set during the Sixth Pass. But what's next?Ĭhronologically there's Dragonsdawn and Chronicles Of The First Fall about when humans first arrived on Pern. And there's the Harper Hall trilogy (Dragonsong, Dragonsinger, Dragondrums) wedged in between Dragonquest and White Dragon. As I understand it there's the core trilogy, (Dragonflight, Dragonquest.
