Order of Anne McCaffrey Books
Anne McCaffrey (1926-2011) was an American-Irish author who made her mark writing science fiction, fantasy and planetary romance novels. Her most celebrated work includes the beloved Dragonriders of Pern series and The Ship Who Sang. The inspiration for her notable novel Restoree came from her observations about female representation in science fiction literature—she was troubled by the typical portrayal of women as passive figures while men battled aliens, which motivated her to craft stronger female protagonists.
Throughout her career, McCaffrey earned numerous prestigious awards and was honored with induction into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2006. She passed away at 85 following a stroke.
McCaffrey began her writing journey with short stories in the 1950s before publishing her debut novel Dragonflight in 1968. Here is Anne McCaffrey's complete bibliography arranged by original publication date:
Notes: McCaffrey collaborated with various co-authors throughout her career. Jody Lynn Nye co-wrote The Ship Who Won, The Death of Sleep, and all Doona novels except Decision at Doona. Elizabeth Moon partnered with her on Sassinak and Generation Warriors. Elizabeth Ann Scarborough collaborated on the Petaybee series, Twins of Petaybee, Barque Cats, Acorna's Children, and all Acorna titles after Acorna's People. Margaret Ball co-authored Acorna: The Unicorn Girl, Acorna's Quest, and Partnership. Todd McCaffrey worked with her on The New Adventures of Pern series. Mercedes Lackey co-wrote The Ship Who Searched, while S.M. Stirling partnered on The City Who Fought.
DragonsEye appeared under the alternate title Red Star Rising. The Lady: A Tale of Ireland was also released as Carradyne Touch.
Additional collaborative works include Future Love, which features stories by Jeffrey A. Carver and J. Hunter Holly. McCaffrey edited Space Opera with Elizabeth Ann Scarborough, created The Atlas of Pern with Karen W. Fonstad, and co-authored Serve it Forth with John Gregory Betancourt.
