Anne McCaffrey bibliography

This is a list of works by American science fiction and fantasy author Anne McCaffrey, including some cowritten with others or written by close collaborators.

McCaffrey's first novel was Restoree, published by Ballantine Books in 1967.

Several of McCaffrey's series and more than half her books share as background a universe governed by the "Federated Sentient Planets" or "Federation" or "FSP".

McCaffrey's most famous works are the Dragonriders of Pern series.

The Brain & Brawn Ship series comprises seven novels. Only the first was written by Anne McCaffrey alone, a fix-up of five previously published stories.

The Ship books are set in the same universe as the Crystal Singer books, as Brainship-Brawn pairings were characters in the second and third volumes of that series.

This series also includes solo entries by Stirling and Nye:

All but the first were issued in omnibus editions of two as Brain Ships (2003, McCaffrey, Ball & Lackey); The Ship Who Saved the Worlds (2003, McCaffrey & Nye); The City and the Ship (2004, McCaffrey & Stirling).

The Crystal series, as catalogued by the Internet Speculative Fiction Database under the name Crystal Universe, comprises five novels published from 1982 and four earlier short stories that were a basis for the first book, The Crystal Singer. Three of the novels compose the Crystal trilogy, or Crystal Singer trilogy after the first of them.

Omnibus editions were published as The Crystal Singer Trilogy (1996) and The Crystal Singer Omnibus (1999).

ISFDB catalogues two other novels as "Crystal Universe" books.

The Ireta series, as catalogued by ISFDB, comprises five novels, two "Dinosaur Planets" by Anne McCaffrey 1978 and 1984, and three "Planet Pirates" written with co-authors in the 1990s.

They share a fictional premise and some characters. The events of Dinosaur Planet overlap with the final chapters of The Death of Sleep, as does Dinosaur Planet Survivors with Sassinak; Generation Warriors continues and concludes the storylines of both series.

When the Exploration and Evaluation Corps team reached the planet Ireta, dinosaurs were not what they expected to find.
