Hm, I went to amazon.co.uk, and they do list _Dragonseye_. But they also list _Red Star Rising_, which could also be the same novel under a different title. Except they *don't* list _Chronicles of Pern: First Fall_, so that's a more likely candidate for that one. Been awhile since I read either, and between the babies inside me and the toddler in the house, I'm somewhat scatterbrained. :) Debbi, if you're following this thread, McCaffrey has written some non-SF stuff, some of it about women who ride horses. Try _Ring of Fear_ or _The Lady_, unless you absolutely can't stand romances. :) Julia _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
