Anne McCaffrey

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Anne McCaffrey's Pern series is not fantasy of the sword and sorcery type, it is more Science Fiction but a world populated by Dragons, even genetically created Dragons deserves to be thought of as fantasy of a kind.

The first book, Dragonflight, follows Lessa as she meets golden Ramoth and discovers her true destiny,  attempting a dangerous flight to save the whole of Pern.  Will she make it?  Through the series, other characters are introduced, only a few at a time so that you really start to feel that you know them well.  Mennolly and her fair of fire lizards, Master Harper Robinton, F'Lar,  rider of mighty Bronze Mnementh and Lessa's Weyrmate, Lord Holder Jaxom and his white dragon Ruth who can fly between to any time or place, and many more make their mark on Pern, during times of great danger and greater discovery.  Later in the series, you can go back in time to the Dawn of Pern in DragonsDawn and find out how it all started.  Find out what prompted the creation of the Thread - fighting Dragons,  and meet the very first colonists and Dragon-riders.
