Anne McCaffrey brought her son Todd into the Pern novels a few years ago. As with many other childhood favorites, I have not kept up, but when I found Dragon’s Fire on the library shelf, I was game. I finished this tale several days ago, and you just can’t go back again (sometimes). I know I’m not the only one who’s enjoyed the Pern tales, but I suppose the longer you go on, the harder it is to meet the standard.
