Rating:  Summary: A wonderful continuation Review: A very good book, I found it hard to put down. It is a good addition to the other three books.
Rating:  Summary: A reward worth the wait! Review: 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!
Rating:  Summary: Great Book!! Equal to the Ghatti Tales!! Review: Gayle Greeno has done it again. I read the Ghatti Tales and anxiously awaited a new book. I grabbed it right off the shelf as soon as I saw it. As usual, G.G. drew me into the book with her characters. I read the book in one evening simply because I couldn't put it down. The Ghattens are every bit as endearing as their parents, the Ghatti. I strongly recommend this book for anyone who enjoys a good, quality story.
Rating:  Summary: The best of the series yet! Review: 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.

Rating:  Summary: Fantastic, just as hooking as the other series! Review: Ghatten's Gambit is wonderful. The book hooks you in the beginning and still has you at the end. I can't wait for the next one to come out.
Rating:  Summary: Poorly written but a cool cat Review: I am a cat lover I have an adorable cat that lights up my lifeand even being a cat lover I had a hard time finishing this book. Theonly reason I did was because I vowed never to review a book unless I read the entire thing. The plot starts off poorly the author did give me enough background to understand things but didn't create the characters make them real for me By the end of the book you wonder why on earth the seeker general was such a moron and you wonder how did she become the leader. I found her weak willed and rather whiney. This book would have wound up getting 1 star if it wasn't for one amazing character. I laughed and giggled and enjoyed her because she reminded me of my cat. And that was pweek. P'week had independent thought and personality combined with a fierce though all to cat like devotion. Plus an astoundingly open mind that I felt myself cheering for her and her own little adventure. (Way to go Gayle! ) But the rest of the book just left me cold and going so what I don't really care the adults all sound the same the kids all sound the same and the ghatten all sound the same. But you really should read it for a character study.
