Episode #19: “Weyr Search”
In this episode, we take it all the way back to the beginning, contemplate an ending, and address the burning question: why has no one ever tried to fight Toric with a knife?
Transcript is available on our website!
I've been lucky to get my mitts on a lot of Pern editions, but some of my favourite are the (signed!) original Analog magazines featuring the short stories that went on to become Dragonflight (Weyr Search, Dragonrider Parts 1 and 2)!
Whatever you think of the text, you had to admit John Schoenherr did a great job of the illustrations! In McCaffrey's own words: "You did me and my dragons real proud" (Reactor Magazine, 2014)
The text is different in places, but both begin with the fantastic first line: "Less woke, cold."
(Shown below, the second page of Dragonflight, Corgi 1982 edition, and the first two pages of Weyr Search.)
