(Jun 06, 2005)I first read this book over 17 years ago.... has it been that long!
I recently unpacked all my books from my loft and are now in my book case which I have only been planning to do for about 10 years. When I spied out this book it was like greeting an old friend and it took me only a week to re-read it (being a father of 3 that's quite impressive).
When I originally bought this book, I read it in little under 3 days and then proceeded to re-read it again straight after. Out of all the books written by Sheri this has to be the pick of the bunch. If you liked Raymond E Feist, David Eddings, then this book is a must.
The index which is shown in the middle of the book still has the corner folded over(I know you shouldn't fold the corners but I was young then!). I am currently reading David Eddings for my sons but once finished this will be next for them.
Sheri if you are out there, one of the best books I've ever read and thank you!

(Jan 20, 2004)The Great Game. So apparent, yet amazingly still hidden. Everytime someone attempts to dispell the segregation that 'exists' in the realms of knowledge and understanding; to break the barriers we have errected to confine art, magic and science to their 'singular' dimensions - some of the mist lifts to clear the confusion of cohesion. Sheri S Tepper reveals a greater understanding of the Game and the Players within. I applaud Tepper's Demesne - her view into the True Game and the monsters within is played with skill and finesse. Anyone feel like chess?

(Nov 21, 1999)The True Game series is a remarkably conceived science fiction set. Although it has the appearance of fantasy, after reading a few chapters of any of the nine books (well, OK, I've only been able to find 7 of 9--no Trek puns please) one realizes that these are actually SF.
The characters are all intriguing, but Mavin Manyshaped is the most fascinating of the 3 "title" characters in the set.
It is a pity that these books are out of print -- they are deep and delightful.
