Dragon Fire The Dragonriders of Pern Anne McCaffrey Todd J McCaffrey 9780345480286 Books

It's a little too convenient that a dragonrider just "happens" to go all the way to southern continent in order to "steal" fruit... when everyone is supposed to have forgotten it existed and how would he have gotten the coordinates....
The story is an interesting exploration of human courage and its opposite(?) craven selfishness....
The writing does not have the felicity of when Anne was writing her own books, and she also managed to write many books in which the only real enemy was thread or disease, and perhaps a bullying child who usually learned better, while this book has theft, murder, prostitution, arson, and even terrorism....
Anne's books one could recommend to a child, as even the "mating flight" sex was described wholesomely. This book is just too grim to offer to a child....
I wanted more McCaffrey dragons.... The dragons are still nice "people" in the book... but I would have been better off re-reading an early Anne.

Dragon Fire The Dragonriders of Pern Anne McCaffrey Todd J McCaffrey 9780345480286 Books Reviews


We were at first unsure about Todd McCaffrey taking over from his mother but this book got a warm reception from both my and my husband. The story here centers around something you might never have thought about - that there are two ways for dragons to create flame - and the drama is caused by the refusal of some to change the "old ways" and the determination of others to find a better way to make flame and reduce dragon deaths.
She is do amazing i love her entire dragon series. so glad to see her son continuing her work and in the same way. I can see some slight changes in the writing style but he does her proud
Todd McCaffrey, is playing in Anne McCaffrey's world of Pern. And whereas he is an interesting author, his style is more plodding than Anne's. That could be because of her developing the universe or his fear of being allowed to play freely with her universe. With Anne's death I was hoping that Todd, could write more convincingly in the world of Pern, but it just doesn't seems to be possible.Or maybe it is just easier to imitate the Pooh stories or even to bastardize Tolkien. But Pern, just doesn't seem work for the second generation of Mccaffrey family writers.
This is a reread. Ok a lot of the characters are cardboard. While firestone now explodes is explained away, it was poorly handled. So now crystals help you heal? Ok. Read this if you a fan of the series but don't think too deeply about it.
The first thing with the time knot books that Todd McCaffrey has written is that they are a tad confusing and difficult to get into. It is hard to tell how much of that is the time traveling concept and how much of that is the writing style of the author. That being said I do like the characters and I got very invested in them and their story. I also got the feeling that Todd was settling into his story and writing style a little better. These books only make sense if you read them all together so as a whole even though some books weren't my favorite I really liked the whole story line over all and will read it again.

I will read this book again and look forward to other Todd McCaffrey Pern books.
I liked the story of this one a little better than others from its time era. Maybe it was because there was overall less tragedy in this tale (although there was some), or maybe it was because it touched on something "new" in the Pern series. Firestone was always a background element in the series, but its procurement (and the logistics of maintaining a supply) were never touched on.

A lot of Todd's literary contributions to Pern seem a LOT more thought out logisitically than Anne's were alone. It's noticeable in both the collaborative works as well as his singular works. Whether those logistics are accurate, I can't say. Sometimes, they're gone into a little too deeply or too much tied into the plot, and the characters just seem added around logistical calculations.

I still enjoyed all of Todd's contributions to Pern, and this collaberation was probably one of the best.
As I've mentioned in previous Pern reviews, I've been a fan of Anne McCaffrey's universe for over a decade, since finding the first book on my Dad's bookshelves. It's always been a fascinating blend of science fiction and fantasy, heavily leaning on characterization to keep each story unique. This one was...lacking.

Even accepting that it's designed as Pern for younger readers (which is still an odd concept when you consider how dragonriders live, but whatever), this book is over-written. I could easily lose 100 pages and there would still be a solid story. Pellar is a great character, but he's perfect--just mute. Halla has gone through some interesting development, as has Cristov. Kindan is a bit flat in this book, but don't worry, he'll be back!

Overall this is a nice, quick read for fans of Pern. But, not much happens and you only learn a little more about the world. Less dragons=less fun.
