Anne McCaffrey's Pern is one of the most memorable worlds in science fiction and fantasy. Humans and their flying dragon companions live in fear of thread, a caustic, deadly material that falls sporadically from space. But when the thread doesn't fall for a long time, people become complacent, forgetting that it is the brave dragonriders who can save them from the periodic threat. But when the thread falls, human and dragon heroes must fight the scourge. This edition encompasses the first three unforgettable novels of McCaffrey's epic series: Dragonflight, Dragonquest, and The White Dragon.

Three of the best in one!
Anne McCaffrey is one of my favorite authors. I have not yet read everything she has ever written, but I'm almost there. The novels about the dragons and dragonriders of Pern are masterpieces of science fiction writing. This book combines three sequential novels that make it easy to get into the stories of F'lar and Lessa and the passage of the Red Star dumping thread on an unbelieving Pern after the 400 year Long Interaval and continues to the rediscovery of the rich heritage that their ancestors have left for them with the unearthing of Landing. I highly suggest this book for anyone who does not have any of the three and would like to start a collection of some of the best science fiction books on earth. Other McCaffrey books are equally good, especially the brainship series, the crystal singer series, and the many other dragonrider of Pern books.
One of my favorites
This series is one of my favs. The story is original and the characters and action make for pleasant reading. An excellent read, especially for little girls.
Anne McCaffrey-need I say more?
Ok, I read Dragonflight for the first time in 1995 when I was in 9th grade. I fell in love with this author after reading that book, and since then I have tried to read everything she has written. She does a great job with her story concept, and I just loved the idea of dragons and dragonriders. It was amazing!
