by Gayle Greeno (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The Sunderlies-for Doyce's and Jenret's sixteen-year-old twins, Jenneth and her brother Diccon, the very name is a summons to exotic adventure. So when Jenret proposes taking the family along on a business trip there, the twins can hardly contain their excitement. The only thing more thrilling is the newfound Bond Jenneth has made with the ghatten Pw'eek and Diccon with her sister ghatten Kwee. Yet, almost from the start, the journey seems overshadowed with bad luck-or evil intent. But the real disaster strikes at sea, when a storm sweeps Jenneth and Pw'eek overboard. Desperate to find his lost twin, Diccon has no way of knowing that the worst for all of them still lies ahead....

5.0 out of 5 stars It was worth the wait...., October 16, 1998

By A Customer

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A reward worth the wait!, March 31, 1999

By A Customer

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the series yet!, August 29, 2000

By	A seeker after truth "PJ Corella" (San Antonio, TX USA) - See all my reviews

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.
