The search for life on Mars

by Malcolm Walter

Hidden beneath the sterile surface of Earth's neighboring planet may be the keys to unlocking the origins of life in the universe. An expert on extreme-life environments, Malcolm Walter argues that the best place to find evidence of life on Mars is out of reach of telescopes and space probes—it's in the rocks and subsurface water of the Red Planet. In this engaging and authoritative book, Walter unveils his dramatic plan-already adopted by NASA—for finding these elusive traces of life.

Meh. It was ok. Nothing amazing. Although, I do already know everything about the search for life. If you've never read anything on the subject, then it's a great read. There's no new info in it, as it is 15 something years old. As a plus, it is only 150ish pages, so it's a quick read.
