Praise for Star Dragon

"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."
-- Paul di Fillippo, SCI-FI.COM

Watchmen Buzz, Scenes

February 18th, 2009

After this, I have to stop looking and just wait for the movie to come out. I’ll watch it here in Brazil. They’ve already got giant advertising stands up in the local cinema, and I want to steal them for my apartment.

Anyway, one guy who got a sneak peak and the movie had one of the most amazing experiences of his life. Nerdgasm.

On the other hand, there are a few scenes from the movie that have been released already, and some people are ripping them. I have to admit that I’m not thrilled with what I’ve seen released. Not as terrible as some say, and definitely out of context and not the most exciting scenes, but I saw a few things to make me worry.

So, I’m going to try to avoid more about the movie until it comes out and I can watch it for myself. I may or may not succeed. We’ll see. But until early March, I will not be watching the Watchmen.
