No one knows the true motives of Kees vaan Loo-Macklin. He's a mastermind criminal who gave up his place at the head of the dark underworld to become a legitimate member of Evenwaith's cities. But soon he was reaching out to powerful enemies - the slimy aliens called the Nuel. Loo-Macklin negotiates an illusory peace agreement and gains precious alien secrets in the process. Is he after peace, power or pure evil? With enemy starships beginning to amass, we won't have to wait long to find out.

Outstandingly political!!! Well written and applicable to our world today. Especially the US. It should be required reading in political science and philosophy classes! Also it would be an advantage for military training as well. Not many science fiction novels relate in such a way, very similar to the way the original Star Trek series related to events of its early writings. I especially liked the interactions between the different interspecies characters as comparable to races and nations today. Well worth the reading if you like these types of topics!Product details

The Man Who Used the Universe (Audible Audio Edition) Alan Dean Foster Paul Ansdell LLC Dreamscape Media Books Reviews
Foster gives us an amoral sociopath-ish type character for the "protagonist", but it works. He's interesting enough that you don't have to like him. There is also an interesting alien race to get to know. Well worth your time.
A fascinating story about short range and very long range planning. The politics are never what they seem, probably like the world today. I agree with Big Mo that it should be required reading for political science and philosophy classes. The story was easy to read but very hard to predict what would come next. I always enjoy Alan Dean Foster’s books.
In one of his stories Kurt Vonnegut describes his fictional author Kilgore Trout as a bad writer with great ideas. That's the way I feel about this book. It's not very well written but it is compelling nonetheless. As a teen I read and reread this book, enjoying it uncritically. When I bought the kindle copy and read it once again I still enjoyed it but was able to look at it with a much more critical (or jaundiced) eye. It feels like a first or perhaps second, but certainly not final draft of a story. It can't settle on any one character to follow. There is A LOT of telling instead of showing. Still it is a compelling tale of a man who rises from nothing, a low level street thug on a poisoned planet to become the de facto ruler of the known galaxy.
This is probably the best Sci-Fi book I have read, and I have read probably at least a thousand of them, forgot more than I have read, and this one stands out. I still have that original book, all torn up, and bought this new copy to read again, it's more than worth it...
I first read this over 20 years ago and very much enjoyed it then. Now in addition to the treasured paperback copy, I own an electronic copy, and I read it again after all these years. Still an excellent story. Highly recommended.
It is not a Commonwealth book, but it is similar. There are no Thranx or AAnn, but there are the Nuel and some other sentient species. It is entertaining to read. If there were further novels about the UTW/Families universe, I would read them.
An interesting far-future SF story about the relationship between humans and a very different alien civilization. There's a real twist at the end, so don't jump ahead because you'll miss all the reasons for what happens. Believable characters, though one is almost too capable.
