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

Starlinks for a Monday

July 14th, 2008

Matt Staggs over at his blog Enter the Octopus has been consistently coming up with deep and wide link lists for science fiction, and I urge you to check it out. Here are some of the recent links he’s had that I found very interesting:

Chuck Palahniuk: “Writing is like sex. If it hurts and it’s painful, you’re doing it wrong” Not into BDSM, apparently.

To hell with accessibility

In defense of free downloads

Neil Gaiman on how giving away the e-version of “American Gods” affected his book sales

And I found a few things of interest on my own, too!

Cracked lists five famous sf weapons that are actually being built.

A suggestion to convert the International Space Station into a true space ship.

And Buzz Aldrin on how science fiction has ruined public support for the space program. I’m going to write about this a bit later today.
