There are lots of tid-bits but here is one that caught my eye immediately. ANNE McCAFFERY has turned in DRAGONLADY, her seventh "Pern" book, to Del Rey... I don't know if there are any other Pern fans out there, but I am waiting with baited breath. Having read the series, I want to leave you with one strange thought that keeps hitting me whenever I read on. All the books seem to fit into Ursula K LeGuin's Hainish series. I know there are no referrants that exactly coincide, but there are no contradictions either. And I personally feel that the tone, time scale, etc. are the same, and the books could easily be merged into the same universe.
