The Dragonriders of Pern by Anne McCaffrey Book Summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Together in one volume—the first three books in the world’s most beloved science-fiction series!

DRAGONFLIGHT

On a beautiful world called Pern, an ancient way of life is about to come under attack. Lessa is an outcast survivor—her parents murdered, her birthright stolen—a strong young woman who has never stopped dreaming of revenge. But when an ancient threat reemerges, Lessa will rise—upon the back of a great dragon with whom she shares a telepathic bond more intimate than any human connection. Together, dragon and rider will fly, and Pern will be changed forever.

DRAGONQUEST

Since Lessa and Ramoth, her golden queen dragon, traveled into the past to bring forward a small army of dragons and riders to save their world from deadly alien spores, fear and desperation have spread across the land. But while the dragonriders struggle with threats both human and otherworldly, a young rider named F’nor and his brown dragon, Canth, hatch a bold plan to destroy the alien scourge at its source—the baleful Red Star that fills the heavens and promises doom to all. 

THE WHITE DRAGON

Never in the history of Pern has there been a dragon like Ruth. Mocked by other dragons for his small size and pure white color, Ruth is smart, brave, and loyal—qualities that he shares with his rider, the young Lord Jaxom. Unfortunately, Jaxom is also looked down upon by his fellow lords, and by other riders as well. His dreams of joining the dragonriders in defending Pern are dismissed. What else can Jaxom and Ruth do but strike out on their own, pursuing in secret all they are denied? But in doing so, the two friends will find themselves facing a desperate choice—one that will push their bond to the breaking point . . . and threaten the future of Pern itself.

Great story!. A real page turner, I couldn't put it down! Looking forward to reading the next in the series. Only complaint: a few grammatical and spelling errors which I suspect are due more to iTunes than to the author.

The Dragon Riders of Pern. A friend turned me on to these books years ago and I in turn gave them to my son. We both loved them and every new book was devoured as soon as it was released. We loved them then and now. I am glad that they have been released for another generation to enjoy. I keep hoping someone will make them into movies so we could watch good dragons fly. Read them and you will be hooked too!!

Excellent Fantasy Trilogy. It's very hard to stop reading this volume of three fantastic works. Great for adults as well as children.

Amazing!. When l got this l looked and if you buy the books separately it costs 4.98 more than this. Also the books are really good. Top edition only thing wrong is my phone is old. Love getting the sample l read it like five times before l got this

iBook version of dragon riders of pern. Love the books but disappointed in the editing. In the first book dragon flight I talks about lytol's dragon and that it was a green and a HIM but in white dragon it talks about Lytol's brown Larth.

Loved it then, will love it now. I read the paperbacks of these three books back in the 1980s (I know, dating myself), and I’m glad they’re not only available here but at such a reasonable price. I really love this series, it’s a sci-fi/fantasy classic. The mix of science and legend work so well; the way Ms McCaffrey writes is simply amazing. You enter an entirely new world, yet it’ll seem strangely familiar. These books won’t disappoint!

All Pern books. I love the story lines of these books. The one thing that does bother me however, is how poorly they have been edited and proofread. In some of the books, there are sentences that don't make sense. There are punctuation errors; periods in the middle of sentences, names not capitalized, and words with no spaces between them. Whoever did the galley on these was not very attentive. They are wonderful to read though.

RIP Anne and thank you!. I first was given Dragon flight when I was 8 years old, for the rest of my life I was able to travel to Pern whenever a new Anne McCaffrey book was published. Thank you so much for creating a fantastic works with marvelous inventive creatures- the Dragons of Pern that we earthlings can visit by simply opening a book. Fly far and free on a beautiful gold!

Rest In Peace. Anne has passed away. Not much into writing reviews but this trilogy is great and really touched me. I always wanted this world to be real and impress a dragon. Alas, it was not to be. Thanks Anne for the vision and storytelling. Much appreciated.

Good books. I’ve enjoyed them since I was a kid. Periodically I go to a library and I dust them off. Maybe a used bookstore. I have the paper versions on my shelf so I’m not gonna spend the extra money to have it on my phone.

Excellent book. I remember seeing these books dominate a shelf of the SciFi and Fantasy aisle of bookstores but I had never even picked one up. Now that I finally got around to reading them, I'm stunned that I hadn't heard more about them before. Dragonriders should be considered a classic, a book anyone can approach and enjoy for its fascinating story and smooth writing.

Could we start opting to keep Icons Shown As Of Purchase?. Great tales; three stars; four, were the following issues finessed. As via this Store, I preferred the previous (three-panel) cover art for this book in its electronic form; that previous art selection is what I have in hardcopy; for me, that art better represents what I saw on brick-and-mortar bookstore shelves for years in terms of the small (mass-market, if you like) individual paperback novels; I am accustomed to it; cross-referencing within my library, such as it is, would tend to be a little easier that way; and it seems to me that I — like countless other purchasers — have indeed paid for access to this or that item As It Was Presented, AND as it thus should reasonably be expected to appear within the display screens of the Computer Devices owned by the purchaser of said devices and said types of media items. New marketing? Fine; this of course happens all the time. New imagery for new marketing? Fine; all part of fresh appeal. Meanwhile, I have made this or that purchase during a previous marketing cycle, which marketed a certain package I chose then . . . at that time, by way of that marketing With That Packaging: rendering irrelevant the level, degree, or nature of the Packaging when compared with its status as being Part Of That Purchase. Hence I merely ask . . . it seems to me only right that I inquire: Instead of either New and Often Unwanted Icons such as I never selected, or else a perpetual red dot enclosing such a numeral as will indicate the current number of Hovering Updates such as I am reluctant to resolve because of Unwanted Icons (be they for Book Items, when updated, or for Film and likely some TV Items — even when I have done Nothing to generate New Video Icons) . . . instead of either New and Unwanted Icons for Video Items (No Matter What, Baby) . . . or for books, on at least some of the occasions wherein I boldly venture to Accept an Update . . . or else, with books, a Hovering and Lurking Update ever Waiting to be accepted . . . instead of any of these “options”, might we at some point become able to keep a certain Packaging, aye, e’en unto some bit of Cover Art such as, well, we always Kinda Liked? I do not always dislike the new icons; this varies; I request some better array of options as to what the screen shows for my own libraries of, yes, purchased Access to certain items, ideally seen at least As Shown At Time Of Purchase; still better would be a choice of preference, “grandfathered in” from purchase time to first icon change, plus current icon through Any Icon Change(s). Wow; that would be terrific; it would make more sense to me. I just thought it worse never to ask in any way than to ask here. Thank you.

The White Dragon. This is book three in one section of the vast array of books about the "Dragon-riders of Pern!" I started with Dragon Song, and Dragon Singer, which came out in the 1970's. Then came this book, although this one is a collection also. I read them as they were written, one after the other, getting them from my local library. I would definitely recommend this series to anyone interested in fantasy, Science Fiction, and just plain wonderfully drawn people and plots..a world of them. I have read the whole series, and now, 35 years later, have reread these three books again. I love them. And, these are just the beginning. There is so much more to read in this series! I myself, will have to look for the one I am wanting, that is after This one...The White Dragon! A definite good read! Enjoy!

Wonderful!. Of all the worlds of authors' imagination, Pern holds a special magic. I've re-read this book time and time again, enjoying every scene as the characters come to life in my mind's eye. Thank you, Anne for this wonderful gift!

The dragonriders of pern. I have nothing but praise for this story but as I read this ebook the misspellings and use of wrong words is becoming very irritating . I haven't had a book with this many in all I have purchased.

Love it!. I remember reading these when I was in school. Oh I do love them glad they are here for the iPod. Maybe the Harper Hall Trilogy will appear here some time too. If it does, I'll buy it right quick!

Riders fly dragons and dream. Let me fly on dragons wings

This is the one u must have. My1st books of Anne's, read with a dictionary! I picked it up in my childs room when she was 11. It took me forever ( talk about increasing your vocabulary while having fun),and opened up fantasy for me as not just silly stuff. It was a challenge. Just re read the entire series in order....sans dictionary and had to laugh. They are addicting. This trilogy was the very best she had and she built on that in ways I don't think have been copied. Dragons in movies have me thinking about impressing in a blink of an eye before I realize I'm doing it, to this day, The rest of the books are fascinating to read and to connect the dots, read in order works best. I imagine the story boards and cross reference system she must have had for this, in my mind. Wow, What a writer. I will definitely keep for my grand children with a dictionary close by for visits! There is just nothing like this 1st book to stir my own imagination ... And smile, .... that this one book of 3 amazing novels can still do that to me.

Dragons!. Love this series- the story is fast paced and exiting
