Hello, I am new to the ways of the Forum and hope that I don't offend anyone by the weilding powers of my keyboard.....just kidding. I have read Dragon's Kin and Dragons Blood and was wondering what other readers have thought about the books. Likes...dislikes that sort of thing. I am at present...

Has anyone read this? Is it as good as the rest of the earlier stories?

To be on the shelves in 2006 is "Changelings" book 1 of a series co-written by Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough. Is Ms Scarborough as good an author as Anne? If so, I guess it will have to go on the 'to buy' list...:)

Some friends and I are holding a trivia contest for fans of Anne McCaffrey on October 8-9th. Quite a few nice prizes are to be won! For details please visit http://mccaffreyquest.srellim.org/

managed to find my own copy of the ship who sang, yesterday, and rearead it last night. one thing struck me as very obvious, although probably not a new thought, the novel seems to have very little cohesion, rather more a collection of short stories with a common theme, and i've got most of the...

One of the things that i love the most about MsMccaffreys books, is the positive logic of the hero's and heroines. A job needs doing, and they do it. their solutions are practicle and logical. Governments buy into this logic and mankind is better served. and if the worse comes to the worst...

Hey I'm new here. I just recently started reading The Pern Books & I love them I've been reading them for about two weeks and can't put them down. I've read the harper hall trilogy, and the first book in the pern set I've just started the second they're great. I've almost bought them all and...

A Diversity of Dragons is a book by Anne McCaffrey, but it's more like a story in which she and a man named Eppi or something like that are telling the history of dragons to a young man who has a dragon problem. It's a short but very cool story, and the tales that are told by Anne and Eppi are...

I keep finding vague references to the filming of the Dragonriders of Pern as a television series. From the references that I've found, it seems they will be filming it as a concept, rather than using the actual details of the books. But I can't find more than rumour and whimsey. Has anyone got...

Has anyone read these, or her other Talent books, I found them really good, but especially Pegasus in Space, but that's just a personal interest since I love astronomy.What's your favoriate one?

Ms MacCaffrey's son Todd has taken the baton from his mother with regard to the dragon riders of Pern series, and with her blessing, and occasional help released one book (Dragon Kin) with a second (Dragon Blood) due for release this year. I've not as yet been able to get a copy, but i'd be...

I'll admit, I liked the dragons of Pern, don't get me wrong. But seriously, I think some of her other work has been better written, and can be more appealing to a wider audience. Enter, the brainships stories. As far as I know, all have been written with another author, but McCaffery changes...

Has anyone read this series:)

I have recently picked up Dragonflight at the local bookstore, and I just have a few questions: 1.) What novels resulted in her winning Hugo and Nebula awards? I noticed in the back of the Del Rey edition to her series it is mentioned that she has won both, but it fails to tie it into any...

The 20th annual L. Ron Hubbard Writers and Illustrators of the Future Awards were presented August 20th in Hollywood at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Anne McCaffrey was awarded the L. Ron Hubbard Lifetime Achievement Award for Outstanding Contributions to the Arts. A long-time judge of the writers...

I heard a claim that Anne McCaffrey is written specifically for an audience of young women. Is that claim even remotely true, and does that predispose that her writings are not going to be very accessible for a male readership?

Just to note that Anne McCaffrey has a feature bibliography on the .com site (which is nearing completion) - if it's inorrect or there are books missing then please do tell me and I'll update the page: Anne McCaffrey bibliography
