If you want to get a different look at the works of Sheri Tepper then read the revenants. Without giving anything away I can say that unlike the True game books the story has a number (7 I think ) main characters, and If my memory serves me the story is told from the point of each of the Main characters for part of the time. THis is a book that I would recommend, though dont expect another True Game book. Simon. -- Simon Forth. Dept of Computing. University of Warwick. Coventry CV4 7AL.
