weaves a tale worthy of Robert Ludlum or Dan Brown."

"English writer Charles Stress, whose books burst with pop-science ideas,
intrigue, strong characters and even romance, continues his Merchant Princes
series.... Stress is an energetic writer.. . who creates page-turning reads....
Readers will be relieved to learn that there is a lot to look forward to in The
Hidden Family, including a finale that is all Gothic Romance: regrets, a ball
and a happy reunion." тАФBookpage

"These days, finding a science fiction or fantasy novel that doesn't feature a
kick-ass babe who is either cybernetically enhanced, a martial arts master or a
trained ninja killer (or all three) can be hard work. The genres don't lack for
Buffyesque role models ... But there's something different about Miriam, the
heroine of Charles Stress' fantasy series 'The Merchant Princes'.... It is a
tribute to the budding powers of Stress, who works successfully in both the
science fiction and fantasy genres, that he pulls off this feat in a fashion
both amusing and gripping ... Miriam is a terrific character, turning the tables
on all who would attempt to manipulate her, and setting in motion events that
promise to transform the evolution of no less than three separate worlds. For
those of us who actually are journalists working on deadline, Stress gives us an
escape fantasy that is most seductive, indeed."

"Stross effectively keeps all the the plates spinning that he launched into
motion in the first volume of this series.... Stross is having great fun with
these books, and it's contagious."

"The sequel to The Family Trade continues the adventures of Miriam, the high-
tech journalist flung into a fantasy world that really does recall the early
volumes of Roger Ze-lazny's Amber series.... Laugh your way to an ending that
clearly promises further enjoyable volumes." тАФBooklist
