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

Surprise Starlinks

November 10th, 2008

James Nicoll had a link too awesome to not also distribute asap, hence some surprise starlinks for today (I hadn’t planned to starlink today). Anyway, here is a 3-d, rotating map of the solar neighborhood within 14 light-years. Way cool.

Top ten superhero love spats, as discussed over at tor.com, with my two favorites at the top.

Find out how FEMA deals with crashed UFOs! From gizmodo.

From toplessrobot, top eight sf/f books that need to be made into movies. What, couldn’t find two more? Forever War is missing, as is Neuromancer, for starters, and some others there are in production. I think I could come up with a list of 50 without a lot of thought here…couldn’t you?
