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

Halloween Party Aftermath (With Photos)

November 2nd, 2009

It has been a long, tiring, and fun Halloween weekend. The party was a success, although everything didn’t get done in time. Most things did and no one seemed to care everything wasn’t as perfect as I wanted it. My temporary roommate, Dan Kiminki, was incredibly helpful in getting things set up and taking photos and I wanted to call him out to give him a big thanks. Here are some photos of the vampire bar as we had it set up and some photos from the party. We didn’t get a lot of photos from later in the night when it got crowded, but enough to give some flavor I think. Now with this event out of the way it’ll be back to science and science fiction this week here.

Imagine it darker, with the right music and lighting…now for some party photos:

There were a bunch of other people with great costumes and I hope that more pictures materialize. At some point it just got crazy and crowded and the ability to take decent photos decreased. I guess that is a way of saying it was a good party…
