Oh I'm so sorry. I so enjoyed her books. I guess she had a good long life, but mortality sucks!

She will live on in Pern fighting the black dusty stuff. Read quite a few of her books and was just thinking not so long ago about treating myself to a reread.
The passing of an original.

The basic concept of the Pern series was just brilliant, and superbly realised in the early books, though perhaps less well in the later ones. I'm not a big fan of fantasy in general, but Anne McCaffrey was the great exception for me.

As a first intro into fantsay, the early books really worked. A sad loss to the world.
