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

Chuck Norris is a Whiny Little Baby

June 10th, 2008

Apparently gas is too expensive for him.

Liar. The man has money. He’s a shill for right-wing politics of the basest sort. Let’s blame the liberals for all our problems instead of conservatives who actively ignored Jimmy Carter’s entreaty nearly 30 years ago to get off of foreign oil. Well, gas is going to get a lot more expensive and all he wants to do is blame liberals and point at short-term solutions that aren’t. Gas prices have skyrocketed since Bush took office with Republican majorities in congress, but it’s all the liberals fault. Christ. As the jokes go, the man may have six balls but he’s barely got a brain lobe apparently.

Maybe he’s been listening to his own press a little too much. Campaigning for Huckabee was bad enough, a man who thinks a president doesn’t need to understand eighth-grade science. Now he’s apparently continuing to be political, where he is as weak as the fictional Chuck Norris is awesome in everything. I fear he believes in fact that “There is no evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris allows to live.”

Man, I really feel up to kicking Chuck Norris’s ass today, you know? Guess I’m an internet tough guy.
