Review
Their efforts will revolutionise astrobiology, more so perhaps than spacecraft parachuting down out of the orange sky of Titan or roving the rock-strewn deserts of Mars. The world-shaking headlines of the next 20 years will likely come from giant instruments, on the ground and in Earth orbit, gazing with far sight at the planetary systems of other stars.Since most research germane to the field has been done here on Earth, Darling explores such hot topics as heat vents and other geothermal mini-biomes, meteoritic dissection and of course SETI's radio telescope arrays. Mars, Venus and the moons of the outer planets are all major characters, and their stories will reinvigorate most readers' excitement about the prospects of having neighbours just down the cosmic street. Ending with a set of hypotheses and brief explorations of their ramifications if shown to be true, Life Everywhere is an outstanding and thought-provoking look at what could ultimately be the most world-shaking research ever conducted. --Rob Lightner
