Notes

1. Hans van der Boom reported 2008/09 that McCaffrey at age 82 had warned its completion may not be possible: "with recurring health problems, it is very hard to find the energy ...". (See "News". The Pern Museum & Archives. Hans van der Boom. Archived from the original on June 11, 2011. Retrieved 29 September 2024. Booknews: ... New solo Pern book by Anne put on hold!)

   • Recently (2011), regarding collaboration with Todd, Anne McCaffrey says "I still am a bit possessive when it comes to the futures of F'lar and Lessa.["After the Fall"] ... Not only have I enjoyed helping Todd wrap up this very dramatic part of Pernese history, but my own creative juices have been flowing thick and furious: I've been writing up a storm on my own, too."
