The Family Trade by Charles Stross
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It’s a great change from Accelerando…. My only complaint is that the novel doesn’t have a solid conclusion. It is an excellent start to the series, and I am already up to Book 3…
The scope of the series covers alternate history, economics, spy thriller, and drama… Maybe a small dose of romance as well.
