SynopsisNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * Go back in time and visit Pern like it's never been seen before in this thrilling prequel about the creation of dragons. The beautiful planet Pern seemed a paradise to its new colonists--until unimaginable terror turned it into hell. Suddenly deadly spores were falling like silver threads from the sky, devouring everything--and everyone--on their path. It began to look as if the colony, cut off from Earth and lacking the resources to combat the menace, was doomed. Then some of the colonists noticed that the small, dragonlike lizards that inhabited their new world were joining the fight against Thread, breathing fire on it and teleporting to safety. If only, they thought, the dragonets were big enough for a human to ride and intelligent enough to work as a team with a rider... And so they set their most talented geneticist to work to create the creatures Pern so desperately needed--Dragons!, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Go back in time and visit Pern like it's never been seen before in this thrilling prequel about the creation of dragons.

Excellent read, every time!
I've read the Dragon Riders saga, written by Anne McCaffrey, many times. I like to read in order of the timeline, which begins with the very short story, The Survey: P.E.R.N, found in The Chronicals of Pern, First Fall, followed by Dragonsdawn. You would then read a few more short stories in the Chronicals to stay in the timeline of PERNs history. Dragonsdawn is such a delightful read, and all those that follow. I've gifted this particular book many times and always end up buying another to read it again. I highly recommend it if you are a fan of Science Fiction Fantasy novels. I also recommend being ready to continue the saga as it is an addicting read.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Of the Pern books, read this one last
McCaffrey's original Pern series ... which I read back in the 80s ... didn't give much background on how the Pernese got to the situation they found themselves in. This book fills in many of those gaps. My opinion is: Read the original series first, read this one last. The original series was fast-moving adventure. This fills in details and plods in places. Not suitable as an introduction to a wonderful series.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
