a b The 26 books (as of 2022) are distinct: they exclude omnibus editions and the separate publication as books of the longest works later collected or incorporated. The problem of finding a new role for dragons in a Thread-free future is an interesting one, but the solution Anne puts forth left me wanting. Despite the game taking place in the Seventh Pass, one of the documents in the Weyr Library confusingly refers to a «Lord Torric» who founded a hold on the Southern Continent. Still, the dolphin/human alliance is a neat concept and I didn’t mind reading it again the second time around. The day after the wake for the recently-deceased Weyrwoman Nalaya, D'kor is tasked by his wingleader, S'bor, to summon their wing — Alpha Wing — for a meeting.

I first read this about a decade ago, and considered skipping it in my recent chronological read, but in the end I decided to power through it for completeness’ sake.In 2013, Weyrfest was folded into Dragon*Con's Fantasy Literature track, along with Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series.

At Fort Weyr, Masterhealer Jazon discusses the sickness with S'bor, who sends D'kor to find V'hul and S'lon. Anne McCaffrey, the Hugo Award-winning author of the bestselling Dragonriders of Pern® novels, is one of science fiction's most popular authors.

At the Harper Hall, Headwoman Salyn gives D'kor instructions on how to contact the Istan Harpers for their assistance. When I moved across the country I had to leave behind most of my collection (only managing to hold onto the 'Dragonlover's Guide to Pern' as it was entirely out of print at the time), but when I saw this edition available I had to snatch it up, and I am very glad that I did! Judging by its location on Ierne Island and the complete lack of religion on Pern — oddly, the captain of the Clear Endeavour remarks «to Hell with him» at one point — it is likely that the oddly-named Ierne Temple that appears in the game was really the ruins of a stakehold, probably Uppsala Stake. Med tanke på andra böcker från samma (eller tidigare) tid så är det ett gigantisk framsteg att det ens finns kvinnor med som karaktärer.

In May 2006, rights to the entire Dragonriders of Pern series were optioned by Oscar-winning production company Copperheart Entertainment. Of all the books I was looking forward to reading for the first time, this one disappointed me the most. By the time the composers had written and auditioned the early drafts at the author's table it was clear that making the songs a reality to their creator's satisfaction was finally possible. Following the Hatching ceremony, Alpha Wing travels to an uninhabited and barren area of the Southern Continent — likely Cibola — as Thread falls in the distance to carry out the sentence D'kor — made Flightleader by V'kai — has decreed for Roth, to be staked out for Thread.She also confirmed the forthcoming title: "I think that Dragon's Time is one of our best and we're both eager to get started on the next one, Dragonrider".
