Not sure how many here know the literary concept of the Mary Sue, but follow the link.
I got a chuckle out of the books that I had read, or at least read one of the books in the series, which was at least half of them. I'm not too tied to the authors or stories of any of them except Dune, and I definitely appreciated the sarcasm in that cover.

Usually it's an attempt by an author to insert him or herself into a story in (very) idealized form.
Pretty much the Pern series really does hit all the branches of the "Mary Sue" thing.
There must be an echo in here.
