Product Description

Product Description

Born from the author’s belief that science fiction is less fantastical than science fact comes Sci-FU. Following the first adventures of the new superhero, "Quantum," explore what the future may bring as one gifted individual uses science to protect those around him.
Filled with references to real science and technology of the present and future, Sci-FU offers enjoyment for those who read both science stories and science fiction stories. Overclocking and gaming are also clearly alluded to within the text, making the tale accessible to even more people.
Most every display of science and every piece of technology used or referenced in the story, is directly related to real technology or real science. More factual explanations of it all are included in the appendix. The author has great respect and interest in science, which is evident throughout, along with his ability and desire to make everything understandable.

Good - but with little polish. 5 Jan 2012
By J Parr - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This short story is apparently an introduction to a new Superhero by name of Quantum. It is basically a well-told tale with solid writing skills apparent. The text is desperately in need of a decent proof-reader however.

I was disappointed the story literally 'STOPPED' with no satisfying round-up. But otherwise the whole story-line holds up well enough as cutting-edge Sci-Fi.

I will certainly read further contributions from Mr. Pitchford in the near future.

I wish I had met an Amy in my travels through life. Do such women as characterised really exist?

Happy adventures...
Well, maybe I'm biased... 9 May 2012

Jim has a really nice, intriguing story here. I'll admit that I don't completely understand all the physics but he does an excellent job with explaining difficult concepts in the appendix.
I am looking forward to a sequel or maybe a graphic novel version...
Review - Sci FU 6 May 2012
By Ivan R. Pitchford - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Sci FU, I read this book with great interest and found, even though some parts were over my head, that I enjoyed it very much. Mr Pitchford expressed many very thought provoking points and explained them so that even an old guy like me could understand most of what he was saying. He wove the Sci Fi part of the story and the love story part together very well. If you like Sci Fi stories give it a read, and see what you think. I think you will enjoy it. "IRP"
