The Pern Stories

Series created by Anne McCaffrey

Description

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dragonriders of Pern is an extensive fantasy/science fiction series of novels and short stories primarily written by Anne Mc Caffrey?. Since 2004, Mc Caffrey?'s son Todd McCaffrey has also published Pern novels, both in collaboration with Anne and on his own. As of July 2006, the series consists of eighteen novels or novellas and several short stories, most of which have been collected in two volumes.

The earlier novels in the series have a clear fantasy slant to them (low levels of technology, firebreathing dragons, feudal societies), although Ms. Mc Caffrey? herself prefers to describe them as science fiction, and stresses the scientific rationales behind the world she has created. In more recent novels the series moves towards more overt science fiction as the colonists rediscover their links to the past and develop much higher levels of technology.
