A shared science-fiction setting linking the Ireta dinosaur expeditions with the Planet Pirates novels. Their plots overlap, so the separate series routes need a clear crossover note.
The Ireta novels follow expeditions to a distant planet whose dinosaur population challenges the human crews sent to survey it. Anne McCaffrey wrote Dinosaur Planet and Dinosaur Planet Survivors. Read those two books in publication order for the Ireta story. The setting connects to the Planet Pirates novels, but their timelines and protagonists cross in ways that do not create one simple continuous sequence. Follow the separate Planet Pirates guide for that route and its crossover notes.
View Series →The Planet Pirates novels follow fleet officer Lunzie Mespil through pirate attacks, dangerous alliances and a continuing interstellar conflict. Anne McCaffrey collaborated with Elizabeth Moon on Sassinak and Generation Warriors, and with Jody Lynn Nye on The Death of Sleep. Read the three titles in publication order as a focused route through this shared setting. The novels connect to the Ireta books, but the overlapping timeline is better handled with separate guides and book-level placement notes than one merged list.
