We are not alone - why we have already found extraterrestrial life

This book demonstrates that between the results of the 1976 Viking I lander and the latest scientific discoveries - from Martian soil to microbe-ridden meteorites - there is a powerful case for life on the Red Planet and beyond. Taking weird organisms on Earth as a starting point, including ice-loving bugs and microbes living in boiling hot acid, the authors explore what forms extraterrestrial life might take and where it is likely to reside.
