It is about two different cultures who are separated by a narrow sea. When a small boy is killed on one side the other is blamed. The true culprit is a Coldrake (cousin to a dragon). A young man from each side seeks out the last surviving dragon to help them find the truth and bind the two cultures together. 560 pages. THis should keep you busy until the third book comes.

Gender: Guy	this is pobly an old topic but Dragonlance has over 20 books you can read, I had to buy 6 of them cuz I loved them so much, I'm still readding them and I got them almost a full year ago.

It's not very long, but its a good book I think the dragon in it and saphira in eragon have very similar personalities. _________________ You are Kakashi.

i-luv-saphira Master DragonRider Joined: April 4th, 2007, 1:27 pm Posts: 2298 Location: In the land of Alagaesia, admiring Saphira with my dragon Wistala Gender: Guy Affiliation: Dragonriders Dragon: Wistala	The Dragonriders of Pern is basically about this planet called Pern that has been colonized by humans. It revolves around this erratic star called the Red Star. Every time the Red Star comes close to Pern, it drops destructive blue Threads onto Pern, causing widespread death and destruction. So the people of Pern used their ability to alter DNA to create a race of dragons that can fly and breed and protect Pern against the Threads. Every time they ingest firestone, special enzymes in their stomachs make it able to ignite on contact with oxygen when they breath out the fumes. This fire allows the dragons and their Riders to destroy the Threads before they hit they ground. The Pernese also built Holds that are literally built in caves and can support millions of people when the Threads are falling. I heard that the series is much, much better if u read them in the order McCaffrey wrote them. The first book is called Dragonflight, then it's Dragonquest, and then The White Dragon. These are just the first three books. In all, there are 16 books, so it's quite a bit of reading. If you like this, then you should also like the Dragonlance series. The number of books are far more numerous, and the dragons are, as far as I know, evil, but it's still a great series. _________________ I LOVE SAPHIRA :D:D:D:D "The worth is in the act.

Gender: Girl Affiliation: SF Rebels Dragon: Imnaha	Re: i-luv-saphira wrote: if u wanna read one of the best fantasy series to date, read The Dragonriders of Pern by Anne Mccaffrey. Oh I agree with you on this one. The series is FABULOUS!! But I think you are incorrect on the amount of books. So far I have 18 books from the series and I believe I don't have the last one which was written in collaboration with her son Todd McCaffrey. I know there are two outtakes from the world of Pern. The Gift of Dragons is one of them, and this I have. And I know that she wrote an outtake on Moreta. That one made me cry so hard. It tells about what Moreta is thinking and feeling while she's in between! The point is that the series is one heck of a ride! I loved it and I still go back to them once in a while!!!!!!!! _________________ ~.~.~.~.~.~
