The Dragon Riders of Pern

[snowpepsi]

These books are by Anne McCaffrey and later Todd McCaffrey. I don't know how many there are but at least 11. I've read about six of them. These are more Science Fiction than Fantasy. The origins of the dragons on Pern (which is a planet) are revealed in the book Dragonriders' Dawn. the first book however is The Dragonriders of Pern.

If you really like the fictional dragons then I highly recommend all these books. They are well written and explain the bond between riders and dragon, similar to the Inheritance Trilogy.

I have seen the Pern books in the shops so often and always thought to myself that i should pick them up and read them. To date i havent followed my own advice but i am sure shortly i will read them. I have heard very mixed reviews on them though.
