• 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

The Universe is Cruel, Part Two, Electric Bugaloo

March 14th, 2010

My girlfriend’s morning flight was canceled.  We got her on a later flight, and I’m getting ready to leave to pick her up.  Had to cancel a planned dinner party though…

Our love is epic, and not even the vagaries of the airlines can stop it!

   She arrived just a little late (of course) and we still have a few days together…it’s been wonderful so far.
