I have read the revenants and I would say that it is a book that is as good
as the True game books, though it has a very different theme and has very
little in common with the True Game books. 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.
