About the Book
The fifth novel in the continuing saga of the Merchant Princes — SF adventure at its finest!
Things are going badly for the Clan in this new SF novel of the Merchant
Princes, the immensely popular series by Charles Stross. Locked in a
vicious civil war for control over the kingdom of Niejwein, their army
is bottled up inside a fortress under siege in two parallel universes
at once. Duke Angbard, the Clan’s leader, has been laid low by a
stroke: plotters are already conspiring in readiness for the deadly
dance to come.
Miriam, rescued from a tight spot in New Britain,
finds the hopes of the young, progressive faction focused on her. But
do they want her as a leader or a figurehead? She soon finds herself
thrown into a desperate struggle for power. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to
the Clan, researchers working for the US government have achieved a
technological breakthrough. The War on Terror is about to go
transdimensional.
