I picked up a copy of Dragonquest around a month ago not realizing that it was the second book in a series. I was quite happy to discover Dragonflight at the Sherwood Hall Regional Library’s book sale. I plan on reading both of them sometime...

This copy was printed in 1974 so it has a different cover than the one pictured.

Dragonflight was completely enjoyable. I'm so upset that it took me so long to read it. Anne McCaffrey has created an amazing world and I would recommend these books to anyone who likes a little fantasy. I now plan on reading all of her books.

From the Publisher
On the beautiful planet Pern, colonized for centuries, Land Holders and Craftsmen have traditionally tithed food and supplies to the dragonweyrs to which they are bound. In times past, the mighty telepathic dragons and their riders were the only protection from the dreaded, life-threatening Thread.
But it has been over 400 years since the last Threadfall, and some people have come to doubt that the menace will every strike again. But F'lar, rider of Pern's greatest bronze dragon, has no such illusions. The Red Star is near; Thread will fall soon.
