Good Kin in more than one way


I am a big fan of Anne McCaffery's Pern novels, so I was a little concerned when I saw that she had written Dragon's Kin with her son, Todd. I've never been a big fan of collaborative novels. Is writing ability passed on in the genes?? The answer is yes. I am about halfway through and it is classic Pern so far.

This story is set in about the middle of Pern's history. Kindan is the son of a miner, who is helping a new mining community get going. His father is also bonded to the community's watch-wher. Dragon's kin, the watch-wher helps warn the miners of danger in the pits. However when a sudden pocket of gas is hit there is no time for warning. Kindan looses his father and brothers. An orphan, Kindan thinks his life is leading him toward being a harper to sing and teach in his society. What changes and challenges lie him ahead??

  • It may be an additional to help you it's unlikely that any affordable overcoats brand name. One Direction were chosen to appear in the November issue of Wonderland magazine, which will be available at WH Smith and select newsagents on November 8th 2012. 'V' necks should be paired with a button down collared shirt, remembering to keep the shirt collar tucked in.
