Newtons Sleep is an original novel by Daniel O'Mahony set in the Faction Paradox universe.

Although taking place in a shared universe, it is a stand-alone work that does not require any prior knowledge of Faction Paradox.

One of the central characters of the book is the historical playwright and spy Aphra Behn.

The lack of an apostrophe in the title is intentional, and alludes to both Finnegans Wake and the original punctuation of the William Blake quote from which it is drawn: "Now I a fourfold vision see And a fourfold vision is given to me Tis fourfold in my supreme delight And three fold in soft Beulahs night And twofold Always.
