Dragonflight by Anne McCaffrey

Description: After ten long Turns, Lessa was ready to come out of hiding, to reclaim her birthright. . .and to Impress the young dragon queen and become Weyrwoman of Benden.

Suddenly the deadly silver Threads once again threatened all Pern with destruction. But the mighty telepathic dragons that for centuries had defended Pern were now few in number, not nearly enough to protect the planet in its hour of greatest peril. Then Lessa hatched a daring and dangerous scheme to rally supported from people who had long ago ceased to exist!

Incorporating the much requested 'How to Read Pern' Guide as outlined by Anne McCaffrey herself. Begin with Dragonflight and follow the arrows.


THE DRAGONRIDERS OF PERN: The first three novels in the Pern series all in one volume: 'Dragonflight,' 'Dragonquest,' and 'The White Dragon.' And don't forget the first three novels are available in this trilogy edition!


Thread, the deadly destructive alien spore, falls on Pern with the close passing of the Red Star, but no thread has fallen for 400 turns. F'lar searches for a strong-willed female candidate for an upcoming impression and finds just the woman. Lessa is brought to Benden Weyr and impresses the gold dragon Ramoth. F'lar and Lessa set about rebulding the weyr and restoring it to its proper hierarchy in the society. With the return of thread, the severe inadequacy of the fighting strength of one weyr forces Lessa to a desperate move. If she fails she will die, and Pern will be lost.
