Newtons Wake is billed as "A Space Opera", which I guess is supposed to explain why this is a bit of a creampuff of a novel. MacLeod is a deft writer, with a nice ability to turn phrases.We are dropped into the action and MacLeod does a good job of the "slow reveal" of the characters and the circ..
