		Anne McCaffrey's Pern novels rank among the most popular series in either fantasy or science fiction -- and that's appropriate, since they fall along the blurry line that separates those two sister categories.
		But McCaffrey provides her imagined world with a careful science-fictional rationale -- Pern is a distant planet colonized by humans, and the dragons are bio-engineered creatures developed by human scientists ages before.
		McCaffrey currently lives in Wicklow County, Ireland, where she raises horses.

	Amazon.com: The Skies Of Pern: Books: Anne Mccaffrey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Anne McCaffrey's tales of genetically engineered dragons and a lost colony that has declined into feudalism are ultimately SF rather than fantasy because they are about finding solutions to problems, solutions that involve working with what you are given to start off with; The Skies of Pern is all about elegant solutions to credible problems.
		McCaffrey's various themes traditionalism vs. technology, the necessity of societal change, feminist commentary on draconian psychology are at times awkwardly integrated.
		I have been a huge fan of Anne McCaffrey for years, and have eagerly awaited her new novels (although rarely purchased since the library is so convenient and free).

		THE GIRL WHO HEARD DRAGONS by ANNE McCAFFREY caused a few problems in the States when it was published originally.
		It seems that the publishers were not really clear on the cover about the fact that this was not a new Dragon book and there were a number of unhappy punters who felt they had been misled.
		The title story is a pleasing addition to the Pern canon and all fifteen are written in that deceptively easy style that demonstrates Anne McCaffrey's mastery of the written word.

		Anne McCaffrey was born on April 1st in the year of the fire tiger and has been writing about Pernese dragons for thirty years.

	Amazon.co.uk: The Skies of Pern: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Anne McCaffrey's Pern series has been running successfully for so long that most of the Dragonriders' original problems have been solved; inThe Skies of Pern, she confronts her standard cast of characters with the consequences of those solutions, consequences that are a whole new set of problems.
		'Anne McCaffrey, one of the Queens of science fiction, knows exactly how to give her public what it wants' --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
		The premise of the bronze and the green rider and the meteor threat is potentially very good, but the way the plot seems to come together messed it up for me. There isn't a real beginning/ middle/ end and the characters and the relationships between them aren't exploited to their best advantage.

	Raven's Reviews: Anne McCaffrey
		While not the best McCaffrey book I've ever read, this one reminds me of Get Off the Unicorn, in that I can see the seeds of several great ideas forming from it, and in the attention that McCaffrey pays to her details.
		McCaffrey handles the shifts in point of view very well and manages to forge a coherent whole out of several people's lives.
		One of McCaffrey's more recent Pern books is Dragonseye (published in the U.K. as Red Star Rising), which centers on the second pass of Thread, when the original technology is on its last legs and the people of Pern must somehow make it possible for their descendants to remember how and when Thread falls.

	Anne McCaffrey: Dragonquest - Fantastic Reviews book review
		In particular, Dragonquest is much heavier on political intrigue than Dragonflight, with emphasis on the divisions between the "modern" dragonriders and the "old-timers." The old-timers are jealous of the power and prestige they used to enjoy in their own era.
		Although McCaffrey goes about framing the issues awkwardly at first, these political divisions are more interesting than any of the conflicts in the first Pern book.
		Not because McCaffrey isn't capable of characterization, mind you, but rather because she so busies herself jumping between conferences among countless apostrophe-laden names that she rarely lingers on any particular characters long enough to flesh them out.

		When Kris Bjornsen and her fellow slaves were dumped on an uninhabited planet by the alien Catteni overlords, they almost died--but survived on the planet they named Botany, only to have their freedom threatened again by desperate refugees.
		McCaffrey did a trilogy regarding the war between Humans and Catteni.
		McCaffrey must have felt the same way because Freedom’s Ransom was written to answer these questions.

	Anne McCaffrey: The Dolphins of Pern
		And there are throngs of readers who never liked McCaffrey in the first place, or who have given up on the Pern books in disgust, and they won't get within 50 feet of The Dolphins of Pern, no matter what anyone says.
		In a typical passage, Readis, the young son of Jayge and Aramina, receives a note with the news of Robinton's death; he goes from one adult to another for an explanation, and each adult promptly bursts into incoherent tears.
		McCaffrey was obviously shooting for pathos here; unfortunately the effect is ludicrous, especially after the third or fourth adult, and I giggled through it.
