The first sign of the Dragonriders of Pern series was the short story Weyr Search, published in 1967. This was followed by the Nebula Award-winning novella Dragonrider the year after. The two were later combined, together with some extra bits, to form Dragonflight.
Thirty-one years and 15 million words later, Anne McCaffrey says, "I haven't been allowed to stop!"
As Ms McCaffrey has given her son, author Todd McCaffrey, permission to carry on with the Pern stories, it doesn't look as if we'll be short of Pern for a while yet. See my Dragondrums page for the latest on Todd McCaffrey's first Pern book.
