I enjoy their free library as well.
The ability to sample most authors is one I really appreciate. My only complaint is with science fiction in general is the genre tilting to the PC sword and sorcery too much.
Don’t get me wrong I can bounce between the Pern and brainship books by Kurtz for weeks but in the end I need more Belisarius, Hammer’s Slammers and Falkenberg’s Legion. The one somewhat pleasant surprise was the Honor Harrington series, but it seems to have gone off the rails with the grrl power.

Ah, Pern. I loved Ann McCaffrey's series on the dragon riders of Pern.

I had the misfortune of reading The White Dragon first...before I realized it was the last in a series. So...I went back and started over with Dragonquest and read them all...ending with The White Dragon again. Ruth and Jaxom great characters once I learned the history.

Back in the day, I was a member of Harper's Hall and created a character of my own. Not a dragon rider but a rather roguish wanderer. That was many PCs ago. I can't find his 'bio'. Oh well.
