''Dragonflight'' is a science fiction novel by the American-Irish author Anne McCaffrey. It is the first book in the ''Dragonriders of Pern'' series. ''Dragonflight'' was first published by Ballantine Books in July 1968. It is a fix-up of novellas, including two which made McCaffrey the first woman to win a Hugo or Nebula Award.〔
In 1987, ''Locus: The magazine of the science fiction & fantasy field'' ranked ''Dragonflight'' at number nine among the 33 "All-Time Best Fantasy Novels", based on a poll of subscribers.〔
== Origins ==
Two components of ''Dragonflight'' were award-winning novellas published by ''Analog'' science fiction magazine. The first segment, "Weyr Search", had been the cover story for the October 1967 issue, illustrated by John Schoenherr. The second segment, "Dragonrider", appeared in two parts, beginning in December 1967.
"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, their training together. ''Analog'' editor John W. Campbell requested "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 separately published, but provided crucial material for the novel.
