| Re: Anne McCaffrey bibliography Is there someone who could post a reading order for the Pern books? I'd like to get my hands on them after reading a novella in Legends, but I can never find out which to start from or how to go on... |

| Re: Anne McCaffrey bibliography quite hapily babe, chronologically: the first story in red star rising dragonsdawn rest of red star rising chronicles of pern:First Fall teh skies of pern dragons kin (with Todd) Moretta - dragon Lady of pern Nerilka's Story dragon flight dragon quest the white dragon renegades of pern all the weyrs of pern dragonsong dragon singer dragon drums dragons eye (i've not read this though) master harper of pern Rune has got the order in which written down right, if that is the way you prefer to read. personally, i'd start at dragonflight and go to the end, avoiding master harper - that was dire, then go back and read dragondawn, then redstar rising and continue from there. it's a backwards order, but otherwise you'll end up confused by plot inconsistancies and technology levels and characters. |

| Re: Anne McCaffrey bibliography If it's your first read of the series, I'd recommend reading in publication order as that's how the series developed. As Ivy said, that makes the inconsistancies less confusing. I've got a list in pub order, but with some allowances for variation which is handy if you can't get your hands on the books in the precise order. Short stories are included on the list in quotes.
