Summary
Long before space travel was possible, the idea of life beyond Earth transfixed humans. In this fascinating book, astronomer Jon Willis explores the science of astrobiology and the possibility of locating other life in our own galaxy.
Describing the most recent discoveries by space exploration missions, including the Kepler space telescope, the Mars Curiosity rover, and the New Horizons probe, Willis asks listeners to imagine - and choose among-five scenarios for finding life. He encourages us to wonder whether life might exist within Mars' subsoil ice. He reveals the vital possibilities on the water-ice moons Europa and Enceladus. He views Saturn's moon Titan through the lens of our own planet's ancient past. And, he even looks beyond our solar system, investigating the top candidates for a "second Earth" in a myriad of exoplanets and imagining the case of a radio signal arriving from deep space.
Covering the most up-to-date research, this accessibly written book provides listeners with the basic knowledge necessary to decide where they would look for alien life.

entertaining and illuminating
This is a thought-provoking and engagingly written survey about the search for life within our solar system and beyond. More thorough and interesting than other books I've read on the subject, it covers the various locations within our solar system that life might exist, details previous missions and speculates as to what might be to come. Realistic, well-balanced and often humourous. The narrator does the book justice, recommended.

Fascinating!
Highly recommend as a detailed and scientific account of the possibilities for extraterrestrial life and how we should best attempt to find it.

We’ll done on a great resource of our universe
This was a great read, and further informed the reader about historical matters of earths relationship with space, but boldly questions where we go next.

is this a machine speaking ?
nobody actually speaks like this, do they ? I'm rapidly tiring of buying audiobooks from audible with narrations I can't listen to.
