THURSDAY, August 29th @ 9pm: WEYR SEARCH Concludes

 

Weyr Search features a young woman named Lessa being recruited to establish a telepathic bond with a queen dragon at its hatching, thus becoming a dragonrider, and the leader of a Weyr community on the fictional planet Pern. Dragonrider features the growth of Lessa's queen dragon, Ramoth, and their training together.

Analog editor John W. Campbell asked “to see dragons fighting Thread,” Pern's menace from space, and he also suggested time travel. In response, McCaffrey wrote a third story titled “Crack Dust, Black Dust”, which was not published separately, but provided crucial material for the novel.

Finn Zeddmore concludes Anne McCaffrey's story tonight (we really mean it this time) as part of Seanchai Late Night - Live in Voice.
