[OT] Great Read
OK, I don't usually read fantasy, but I love Tanya Huff (she wrote two great
books about a female master sergeant in the space marine corps - VALOR'S CHOICE and THE BETTER PART OF VALOR (and hey, does anyone know if she came out with any more in that series??)). So, I picked up and read SUMMON THE KEEPER and THE SECOND SUMMONING - mainly because one of the main characters is a cat. I would recommend these books to anyone who hasn't already read them. To give you just one reason why, here is the last few sentences of the second book... "I wouldn't worry about him, "Austin said soothingly [Austin is the keeper's cat]. "He's a cat." "Which means?" Clair [the keeper] demanded from inside the circle of Dean's arms. "Which means - and do you have to do that in front of me? - that he's still a superior being." Hugs, CatNipped |

Most of my reading comes from LASFS (Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society) library, but if there's something I REALLY want to read that they don't have, I'll buy it, read it, and donate it to LASFS. (They claim to have the largest circulating library of SF in the country, if not the world - and members have the use of it free!)

Not only a sequel, I just got back from B&N and I found the third book in the series, LONG HOT SUMMONING. I also got Gayle Greeno's "The Ghatti's Tale" Series, book two, MIND SPEAKERS' CALL and book three, EXILES' RETURN. And hey, talk about coincidence, from another thread where we were talking about Anne McCaffrey's Pern series - I found DRAGON'S KIN by Todd McCaffrey (does anyone know if Anne McCaffrey is unable to write any more - I haven't heard that she's in poor health?).

McCaffrey is a tough old girl. If you look at the cover, her name should be on the credits too. She has been teaching Todd to take over the series so that it won't end with her. Pam S. who also loves both the summoning and ghatti series (boy did that come out awkward, but I don't know how to fix it in a hurry) |

Yup, read both of these books, I also love Tanya Huff. There is a 3rd book
to the series titled: LONG HOT SUMMONING. But, thanks for the reminder, I gotta check to see if there are any others.
