The Man Who Used the Universe

Allen Dean Foster I believe to be a flaming liberal whose type I abhor and try to stay away from. He is also one of my most favorite authors whose books very seldom disappoint me. Try saying that three times while gargaraling a full mouthful of peanuts. Point is, our separate views of America's politics are flatly 180 degrees from each other. I get the best part of that situation - I have read re-read and enjoyed his books for decades while he has only extracted a pittance of money from me for the books.
Strangely, this story builds on similar differences with an individual(s), vastly difference races and whole racial beliefs that will wind up being affected. It tells an outstanding story of one man's rise from a teen punk to heights undreamed of, prepared in an absolute buffet of thoughts, feelings, goals and survival that makes for mighty good reading. gmb 8-21-20
