Todd's work on Pern started in earnest with Dragon's Kin (2003), co-written with his mother. 2005 saw the release of Todd's first solo Pern novel, Dragonsblood. Both books take place primarily at the beginning of Pern's Third Pass, nearly two Pernese millennia before the events chronicled in most of Anne McCaffrey's solo Pern novels such as Dragonflight and The White Dragon. Dragon's Fire, another Anne and Todd McCaffrey collaboration, is scheduled for release in July 2006. The younger McCaffrey has ideas for several more novels set in the Third Pass.^{[citation needed]}
