I think this book will be a boon for fans of epic historical fiction - but I have to say that his methods of exposition are fairly primitive: a protagonist, a newcomer to Boston, engages a 10-year-old street urchin in the history of the Orange Republic, the Peace of Westphalia and the English Civil War. Stephenson could have a future writing scripts for Cold Case!
