1179.0. "A new Ann McCaffrey Pern Book!" by MKOTS1::STEVENSON_T () Wed Oct 20 1993 13:19

    Just spotted in Waldenbooks last night...another Dragon book!  (I just
    assumed that "All the Wyers.." was her last)  Didn't even have a chance
    to pick it up and read the jacket.  Anyone know anything about it or
    heard some "buzz" on it?
    
    Regards,

1179.1	followup (s) to Drangon's Dawn, I think...	QUARRY::petert	rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty	`Wed Oct 20 1993 13:38`	7
	While not having seen the book myself, I saw a cover in one of the SF mags in Barnes & Noble. From the look of it, I think it was something like the Pern chronicles. Basically seemed to be picking up the story of the colonists after Dragons Dawn. Might be wrong, but that seems like the most fertile ground for McCaffery to explore. PeterT
1179.2	"First Fall" (you can probably guess 'of what?')	QUARRY::petert	rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty	`Wed Oct 20 1993 18:13`	9
	Little bit more info after checking the bookstore while I went out on a much needed gas run ;-) The title is I believe, "First Fall", and subtitled "The Chronicles of Pern". The assumption I had made earlier, about being related to DragonsDawn, is correct. This is a collection of short stories, rather than a novel. Two of the stories, "The Pern Survey" (? or something along those lines) and "Rescue Run" have been printed before in SF mags. Looked interesting. PeterT
1179.3	Another new Pern book out.	NETRIX::"[email protected]"	petert	`Mon Jan 27 1997 15:48`	10
	I think it is called "Dragon Star". But it should be easy enough to locate even if it's called something else. From the brief glance I took at it, it covers the time of the 2nd pass. 257 years after the first landing, so the Dragon's haven't gotten to the size we see them during F'Lar and Lessa's time, but bigger than the first ones we saw in Dragon's Dawn. Hardcover of course. PeterT [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]

	Oops, had the title wrong. It's really "Dragonseye" [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]
