The Traders’ War: The Clan Corporate and The Merchants’ War Audiobook (Free)

The Investors’ War by Charles Stross includes The Clan Corporate and The Merchants’ War, the 3rd and fourth instalments in the spellbinding The Vendor Princes series combined into one volume.

The journalistic instinct runs deep – and includes a fatality warning.

Miriam was an ambitious business journalist in Boston. Until she was fired – then discovered, to her shock, that her dropped family originates from an alternate actuality. And although some of them want to eliminate her, she won’t stop about The Investors’ War: The Clan Corporate as well as the Merchants’ War digging up secrets. Given that she understands she’s inherited the family ability to walk between worlds, there’s a new tradition to explore.

Her alternate house seems located around the Middle Ages, building her world-hopping family members top dogs when it comes to ‘importing’ guns and other devices from modern-day America. Payment flows from their services to US drug rings – in the end, world-skipping drug joggers make great traffickers. Within a land where women are house, she struggles to remain independent. Yet her outsider ways won’t be tolerated, and a highly political arranged marriage is being brokered behind her back. If she can stay alive for longer enough to protest.

The Traders’ Battle is preceded by The Bloodline Feud omnibus, and followed with the ultimate volume, The Trend Trade.
