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

OK, I’ve taken the twitter plunge. Jay Lake was telling me how he used his iphone in rural China to get help with a translation via twitter, and had a response in a couple of minutes. The future is here.
I’m not an early adopter of things, but I usually jump in when something looks for real. I am @ProfBrotherton on Twitter, and I’m looking for people to follow me and vice versa.

Thanks (and also to everyone else signing on). I’m still figuring out how to work all this stuff. I’m a smart, technically savvy guy, but I see myself calcifying the way I saw it happen to older professors when I was a grad student. You don’t have time to play with the new toys because of all the things going on, and you hope your students can manage the technical details.
