4.0 out of 5 stars 3 old books in 1 new book, December 22, 2003

By	A.J.W. "wcu_rosebud" (robbinsville, nc United States) - See all my reviews

I preordered this book without realizing that it was a collection of 3 old books (Dragonsdawn, Dragonseye, and Moreta). Unfortunately, I had read all but one already. I would suggest getting the book to anyone who has NOT read at least 2 of these but otherwise it isn't worth it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still a great book., December 1, 2003

By	D. J Nelson "cordria" (Minnesota USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Don't be fooled, this is three old books stuffed into a new cover. Die-hard McCaffery fans beware: don't buy this one if you own all the others!

But people new to the Dragonriders of Pern series? It's a great, inexpensive way to get the backstory on all your favorite characters! It's a terrific story about survival and friendship. I recommend it.

For you people that have read all the books and are looking for something new: Dragon's Kin, by Anne McCaffery just came out (I'm writing this Dec. 2003) and go check out that one! Haven't read it yet, but it sounds great and I'm looking forward to it!

1.0 out of 5 stars Yet another republishing, November 25, 2003

By A Customer

Don't mistakenly think this is anything new. It really burns me when publishers do this. This is: Dragonsdawn, Dragonseye, and Moreta repackaged. In tiny fine print at the very bottom of the cover.
