To Eef,
Buy Masterharper of Pern - it's excellent and one you should have on the
list, especially if you haven't read it. One of the best.
Just started hunting Pern/McCaffrey newsgroups for the first time, having
been a huge fan for far too many years to admit to. The reason? A brief
comment in an article in the Guardian Guide this Saturday suggesting that
plans for a Pern film franchise are underway.
Anybody know about this? Just rumour, or likely to happen? IMDB has it
as a project in development, but that may not mean it's got very far yet.
