Books with title DragonFlight

The men who rode the dragons were a breed apart. Chosen when the dragons were first hatched, they became soulmates for life with the huge, magnificent beasts they controlled - the green, blue, brown and bronzes - beautiful - terrible - the only creatures who could defend the planet Pern from the blood-red star. But without the Queen, the dragons would become extinct. Only the gigantic, golden Queen could breed the new flights. And the Queen was fading ...dying ...leaving behind one last, huge, golden egg. Dragonflight is the first book in Anne McCaffrey's world-famous Chronicles of Pern and has been in print since its first publication in hardcover 30 years ago.

But F'lar, rider of Pern's greatest bronze dragon, has no such illusions. The Red Star is near; Thread will fall soon.

Lessa of Pern was of Ruathan blood -- a proud line all but wiped out by the Lord Fax when he had attacked her Hold ten years before. Ten Turns ago Lessa the child had crouched, hiding, in the lair of the watch-wehr. Gifted with the power, fiercely independent, for ten long Turns Lessa had fought singlehandedly and secretly to drive Fax out of the Hold. Now, Lessa crouched once again with her faithful, hideous friend, quivering with courage and a viciously perverse determination. For the dragonmen had come to Ruatha. And with all her strength Lessa willed them to kill Fax -- forgetting that she would thus betray herself to the dragons -- and to their dreaded riders.
