"Seldom does a storytelling talent come along as potent and fully mature as Mike Brotherton. His complex characters take you on a voyage that is both fiercely credible and astonishingly imaginative. This is Science Fiction."
-- David Brin"Star Dragon is terrific fare, offering readers a fusion of hard science and grand adventure."
-- Locus Magazine"Star Dragon is steeped in cosmology, the physics of interstellar travel, exobiology, artificial intelligence, bioscience. Brotherton, author of many scientific articles in refereed journals, has written a dramatic, provocative, utterly convincing hard science sf novel that includes an ironic twist that fans will love."
-- Booklist starred review"Readers hungry for the thought-provoking extrapolation and rigorous technical detail of old-fashioned hard SF are sure to enjoy astronomer Brotherton's first novel."
-- Publishers Weekly"Mike Brotherton, himself a trained astrophysicist, combines the technical acuity and ingenuity of Robert Forward with the ironic, postmodern stance and style of M. John Harrison. In this, his debut novel, those twin talents unite to produce a work that is involving on any number of levels. It's just about all you could ask for in a hardcore SF adventure."

Prometheus and Bob
February 28th, 2010
I can’t believe I’d never seen any of these before today, let alone heard of them. Prometheus and Bob is a series of short cartoons about an alien trying to educate a caveman about various things 900,000 years ago. They’re funny and clever. Not always a tremendous about of science content, but good science fiction fun. Thanks, America!
Here are some I watched and liked. A lot more on youtube.
I actually think Bob looks more like E.T. than the alien…

I started watching this series way back in 2003 when I was a kid. I remember we’d went to my grandmother’s for Thanksgiving and I went out to my Aunt’s for a while too since she didn’t live too far away. My cousin had the TV on Nicktoons and during a commercial break they aired a Prometheus & Bob episode,which was “Ice Skating”. After that,I became a KaBlam! fan and continued to watch it until it was sadly taken off the network in 2005 following the rebranding to Nicktoons Network.
I still watch these all the time. Thank God for stuff like DVD and VHS tapes! =D
