"Fascinating read on the origin of life on earth and in the universe. I learned everything from informed speculation on space aliens to biochemistry. Very, Very stimulating read."
"Astrobiologist and paleontologist Peter Ward takes the reader on a search for alien, or non-DNA, life, termed life as we do not know it. Thing is, alien life can exist on earth, according to his definitions. He shows how extreme conditions on earth that allow life could be similar to extreme conditions on other planets, and how they may have once had life. I must admit that some part were a bit over my head, as I don't have a big background in these types of sciences, but I found it fascinating."
