About this ebook

Perfect for diehard fans as well as readers discovering McCaffrey for the first time, this dazzling new volume features three classic novels from the early years of Pern–Dragonsdawn, Dragonseye, and Moreta.

The spectacular planet Pern seems a paradise to its new colonists–until unimaginable terror turns it into hell. Suddenly deadly spores are falling like silver threads from the sky, destroying everyone and everything they touch. Pern is in mortal danger. The only thing that can stop the Thread is the fire from Pern’s flying dragons. Now, the colonists must join forces with the dragons to burn the Thread before the parasite devours any and all organic life–and turns lush Pern into a barren wasteland.

On Dragonwings traces the story of the early generations on Pern. From the colonists who first created the fire-breathing dragons for protection, through the rise of the dragonriders, these three novels set readers on a daring quest to protect a beautiful and extraordinary planet.

Ratings and reviews

Anne Mccaffery is always fabulous! Pern is iconic. The only problem I have with this ebook is that the ending of the second book, dragon's eye is missing. I would be wary buying omnibuses from Google play, this is the second omnibus I''ve bought from Google play that is missing the ending of the story and/or even other parts of the books that are supposed to be in the omnibus.!

These three books are fantastic. Although these books came out much later than the original trilogy, these occur first in the chronology of Pern.

Totally loved her work as usual.
