I am going to list the novels and short stories in chronological order for those who would like to read them in the correct time sequence of events instead of publication sequence. Hopefully this will somewhat assist in our rps so members can find the proper story references.

DRAGON BLOOD*
This novel will be listed twice since it takes place in two seperate time periods. One segment of the tale takes place at the end of first fall. Wind Blossom, the daughter of Kitti Ping, from the original colonists is now one of the oldest living people on Pern.
The last remnants of technology are nearly gone, power packs nearly drained,the last of the computers crashing and the last of the high tech drugs almost gone.
The other part of the story is during the beginning of the third fall.
It is a time hopping story, flipping back and forth between the two time periods.
A epidemic is killing dragons in the future and by accident Wind Blossom finds out.

Masterharper of Pern
This book begins about fifty years before the start of the Ninth Pass, and chronicles the life of Masterharper Robinton, from his birth to the scene where Fax dies. It's worth noting that Robinton lives to be ninety-something, on a planet with far lower-tech health care. It's not a vital read, since it doesn't deal much with dragonriders (except the ones that visit Robinton; they like talking to him), however it's fun to find out where many of the characters of the Ninth Pass come from, what really happened to F'lar's father F'lon, and so on and so forth.

Dragonquest
Dragonquest picks up seven Turns after the end of Dragonflight, and chronicles the Holders' disaffection with the five Oldtime Weyrs- which are rarely flying Thread, demanding excessive tithes, and taking whatever else they have a mind to. Jaxom and Felessan discover ancient rooms in Benden Weyr, and as a result of finding a microscope, Pern now has telescopes and begins to wonder about the Red Star. At the same time Brekke's queen is nearing maturity, and F'nor begins to wonder if the age-old rule that only bronzes fly queens can be broken. This book also tells of the first person to travel to the Red Star- F'nor!
