Stross' Merchant Prince Series

Finished "Hidden Family" and "Clan Corporate". The story is definitely picking-up. I was thinking about more then one worlds; voila second locket. Then about actually transferring inventions and manufacturing those locally; checked. It is actually quite amazing how much time and effort those simple everyday things took to invent. The now ubiquitous zipper; it took 20 years from the initial clumsy idea to perfection. Or the paper clip; or electricity and light bulbs and etc, etc.

Also there were plenty of surprises and nice plot twists. It is pleasure to read.
