DRAGONQUEST (1978)
Acrylic on Masonite - 20" X 30"
The primary menace to the planet Pern is "Thread," a corrosive and devastating alien life form which falls from the Red Star and burrows its way into the soil, destroying all life and making the soil unusable. Only the dragons who are able to burn the Thread out of the sky can save the inhabitants. 1/3

This was the first cover in the Dragonriders of Pern series to feature the beloved fire lizards and I really enjoyed painting them. 1/5

Cached UK/IE #KindleBookGiveaway: 5 copies of Dragonflight (Dragonriders of Pern Book 1) by Anne McCaffrey. Since this is a #UKKindleBookGiveaway, you MUST have an amazon.co.uk Kindle account to claim one. This is a classic F/SF book. There are dragons! They fly! And teleport!
Oh well, I added two more #Pern dragons to the suggested server names list. If #GameOfThrones / #ASOIAF can have Daenerys’s three dragons there, why not Pern’s? 🐉
I suggested Ramoth, the golden queen dragon from the Dragonriders of #Pern fantasy/sci-fi series, back in 2011: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Special:Diff/686573
And Ramoth was indeed used, IIRC, for the main #PostgreSQL database server until it was decommissioned in 2020: https://github.com/openstreetmap/operations/issues/412

Nu er jeg i gang med Dragon's Fire. Den anden af de 2 Dragonriders of Pern bøger jeg fandt i min bogreol, som jeg aldrig havde læst.
Dragonriders of Pern holder stadig.
(Det er dog en lidt underlig titel, for dragerne spiller en meget lille rolle i historien)

"Menolly closed her mind to that thought. She'd learned the trick of not thinking about anything: she counted."
This quote from Dragonsong, #AnneMcGaffrey hits home.
