Ray, depending where you are in Ireland you can borrow freely from my bookshelves. If you don't mind running the gauntlet of chicken food and sleeping cats...
I've read most of them but Todd McCaffrey's idea of Pern creeps me out. I wish I'd never read the last ones with his grubby paws on them. I won't be reading any more he has written.
I have read almost all of Ann's Pern books plus some of her short strories (very 60's Scifi). I was thinking of taking a look at what Todd has done with Pern but from reading these entries, it doesnt sound promising
