Summary: The second book in the "Dragonriders of Pern" series.
Review: "How to begin?" mused Robimton, the Masterharper of Pern. How to begin this most dazzling and wonderfully imaginative and well written novel done by the much apraised author, Anne McCaffery? Well, how about we add some new and exciting characters (and not to mention the adorable 'miniture' dragons, fire-lizards.) But of course the story wouldn't be nearly as complete without F'lar, the Weyrleader, and Lessa, the Weyrwoman, and don't forget the never-ending thread. Oh, and of course F'lar can't resist but get into another life and death threatning duel. Their are a lot of suprises in here that you don't want to miss! It's definetly as good as The first book in the trilogy, Dragonflight. I still can't decide which one I enjoyed more. No questions asked, you have to check this book out! You'll find yourself staying up at night under your blankets with your flashlight on all night long waiting to see what happens next. So make sure you have plenty of batteries in your flashlight because this will keep you up all night. I reccomend reading the first book in this series, Dragonflight, before this one so you have a better understanding of this book. (Also check out the reprinted cover version of "Dragonquest" at a local bookstore near you.)

Summary: one of Anne McCaffrey's best
Review: "Dragonflight" was a grand adventure which introduced readers to one of sci-fi's strongest heroines, the indomitable Weyrwoman Lessa. "Dragonquest" continues the story 7 years after Lessa made her spectacular flight...and all is not well on Pern. "Dragonquest" is more a series of inter-related episodes than "Dragonflight," but in this format the novel introduces new characters such as Jaxom and the Oldtimers, and really gives room for characters like F'lar, F'nor, Robinton, Kylara, and others, to become more fully-realized characters. Very exciting (is it just me or does F'lar get into a duel to the death in EVERY book?--not that I'm complaining!), insightful, and the world of Pern and it's inhabitants (yea! for the fire-lizards...gosh, are they cute!) becomes even more real than in the previous book. REALLY good stuff here.

Summary: THE book!
Review: Anne McCaffrey is the best author! This book is definatley one of her best! You absolutely fall in love with all of the characters, especially Brekke. It's kinda sad at the end, but it's still a great book!!!!

Summary: Astonishing, as always!!
Review: Anne McCaffrey never ceases to amaze me. All of The Dragonriders of Pern series are classics, I should think at least. This book focuses mostly on F'lar, but has a good deal to do with Lessa, the heroine of the previous book. And, that puts to mind the fact that this is not really, chronologically, the second book in the series.

Summary: The Second Dragonriders of Pern book
Review: Before you read this book, you should read Dragonflight to get to know background info and characters, but it isn't extremely necessary.
This book starts seven turns after Dragonflight.
Lessa and F'lar (the Weyrwoman and Weyrleader of Benden Weyr)are having difficulties with the Oldtimers. A lot has changed in four hundred years and some of the Oldtimers won't accept that change. Most of the Oldtimers don't want to have anything to do with the modern world and try to isolate themselves. Some even try to pick fights with Benden Weyr and take things that are not part of the tithing of the Holds.
Fire lizards are rediscovered in this book and F'nor and Brekke both Impress.
The Dragonriders must unite together to save Pern from the deadly Thread. The Thread is falling out of pattern thus becomes unpredictable. None of the Oldtimers are telling the other Weyrs about unpredictable Threadfall in their Hold and Weyr areas.
F'lar knows he must do something before Pern is destroyed. Some events in this book lead to other key events in other books such as The White Dragon and all the Weyrs of Pern.

Review: Continuing in time after Dragonflight, Dragonquest is just as
good and we learn more about some of the other characters
from Dragonflight. (i.e. F'nor
