Praise for Mike Brotherton's 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
"Star Dragon's strengths are rooted in its concept: the intriguing layers
of its setting, its use of biotechnology and the suspenseful convolutions
of the dragon hunt. Brotherton's first novel offers outstanding fare for
any reader looking for hard science fiction combined with adventure on
a truly grand scale."
-- A.
M. Dellamonica, Strange Horizons
"Star Dragon...is a clever first novel by a University of Wyoming astronomer."
-- Fred Cleaver, Denver Post
