Customer Reviews

The best of the series yet!

Gayle Greeno has outdone herself in this book. It is a real page-turner! We enjoyed the first three books, the Gatti trilogy, but the first Gatten book is the best yet of the series. Doyce has retired from position as Seeker General and accompanies her husband and children on a trip to the Sunderlies. On the way to the seaport to catch their ship to the Sunderlies, it becomes apparent that someone is trying to sabotage their trip. On the sea, there are further problems which include one of Doyce and Jenret's twins and her bond being swept off of the ship in a great storm. There is intrigue all through the book and the author doesn't give away who are the good guys and who are the bad guys until the end of the book.

Thrilling, Exciting, and Amazing!

This book is one of Greeno's best works yet. It's part of an exciting series that you just can't put down. You are magically transported to a world of telepathic cats, or better known as ghattis. Their job, along with their human bondmate, seek out the truth in all situations and administer the correct punishment if needed. This time, Joyce (human bondmate of Khar'pern) and her family with their bondmate ghattis find themselves on a vacation to the exotic continent called the Sunderlies. Instead of a vacation, they end up solving a mystery of a scandalas shipping operation and of a girl that fell overboard while they were heading to the Sunderlies. I just have to say, read this book and take part in the adventure and danger that will keep you occupied for hours and hours.

THE BEST BOOK GREENO HAS WRITTEN YET!

This book was wonderful. I loved the first series, but in this one she seemed to have done the best. The plot is gripping and funny, while at the same time serious. If you are reading this, I definetly reccomend buying the book now.

A reward worth the wait!

Although it took me quite some time to pick up the first Ghatti's Tale, I was just as hooked as my referral said I'd be. With the ending of the series, I was wondering if she'd re-visit the world again, and continue to explore the depth of the Seeker Bonds. To my relief & reading enjoyment, she has. This book had me hooked from start to finish. As a life-long fan of M. Z.Bradley's "Darkover" & A. McCaffrey's "Pern" series, I'm always glad to read of 'realistic' psionic talents. I can't wait until "Ghatten's Gambit" #2 comes out!

It was worth the wait....

I really enjoyed this book. I read the first three Seeker books several years ago and they are certainly necessary to understand this one. Many of the same characters appear and she doesn't devote much space to background history. While I loved the Ghatti's Tail trilogy, I always felt that they started off very slow. This book does not--I was happy to jump right into the story for once.
