| | Anne McCaffrey: Dragonquest - Fantastic Reviews book review (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.umd.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) |
 | | What prompted me to finally do so now is that I've recently started listening to books on tape while commuting, and McCaffrey is one of the few science fiction and fantasy authors whose work is widely available on tape. |
 | | Now in Dragonquest, the second volume of the Pern series, McCaffrey addresses some interesting complications arising out of Lessa's solution to the crisis in the first book. |
 | | 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. |
